Have you ever watched a sifi movie, and some alien planet has a corrosive atmosphere? That's actually our atmosphere. Oxygen is a corrosive gas. Probably the most reactive gas known to man, so it doesn't really occur naturally in its elemental state, in the universe. We're just weird in that we adapted to surviving in a corrosive atmosphere. If aliens ever visit, most likely, they're not gonna be adapted to surviving in a corrosive atmosphere. They're gonna have to wear protective suits. Imagine discovering an alien planet, with an oxygen free atmosphere (which is actually normal), with life on it. Then you add an extremely corrosive gas to their atmosphere...I'm guessing they would call it pollution. If you add a lot more oxygen to our atmosphere, it would kill us too. It would eat away at us, especially our DNA.

[@Wildbear001]

I think it's what she said right after, due to the formation of aerobic organisms. So therefore there was less oxygen and more C02, allowing Earth to slowly warm up again?

[@ShyanTheLegend]

Basically, most organisms died leaving only the most resistant organisms left. These surviving organisms were extremely low in numbers so they reproduced slowly. They were able to reproduce because their genes enabled them to be resistant to the change in climate. Its just natural selection. Those with the best genes survived and passed on their DNA.

[@GhostSamaritan]

ShyanTheLegend So could there be bacteria living on ice covered planets right now?

I read somewhere that a similar thing happened when early trees produced massive amounts of lignin at a time when no organisms where around capable of digesting that lignin. Since it did not decay it got buried underground and exposed to high pressures and temperatures converting it to crude oil. Actually most of our now so very valuable crude oil supposedly stems from this era. (Can someone confirm/falsify that story?). Maybe this "shit in your own bedroom" pattern is a fundamental property of life. Human civilization seems to repeat this pattern in several ways at once and at a highly accelerated pace. But will the deadly waste of today always become the invaluable resource of tomorrow when life/technology is finally ready to deal with it? I think this works only for some types of the waste we create like e.g.: * The surface part of the great pacific (plastic) garbage patch (skim and recycle) * All our landfills (high concentrations of rare elements) * The CO2 we blow in the air (it's accessible everywhere) * maybe even nuclear waste dumps (rare elements, more energy) But very likely not others like: * highly dispersed persistent organic pollutants (POPs) (out of abundant uninteresting elements) * ridiculously finely dispersed short half-life radioactive elements * The waste we'll likely create in our future: Widely scattered gemstone waste of all sizes from advanced atomically precise nanotechnology that is non-burnable and fundamentally non-biodegradable. For the whole history of life on earth it was incapable to evolve to eat non porous carbon free stones despite their abundance. If we make and litter stuff like that it will stick around a very very very long time.
