I was following along, and actually understood most of what you were saying, until you mentioned the release of massive amounts of carbon. Your explanation was that rivers of magma found immense coal deposits and started burning them, releasing huge amounts of carbon in the atmosphere, which jump started the earth's rain cycle. I get it, but where did the coal come from?

A million years is a long time. No individual living at that time would have noticed anything wrong. It was a very slow change, much slower than for example the coming and going of glacial periods. Even humans would just happily live without anyone except maybe some scientists being aware that there is a big change ongoing.

The coolest thimg, is that we assume NHI would have our lifespan, but imagine if they observed the Earth for 4.5 billion years, and they were able to document everything from the formation till now. That would be the most epic tale ever, and if we have got to hear the last 100k y;ears, that alone would be mind boggling.
