[@suzannax]

Sounds like it'd be brass monkey weather in that time period. A tad nippy to say the least.

[@judd0112]

I’d like to hear about the younger dryas event that had big effects on the North American continent and the megafauna and Paleolithic peoples at that time. Just when the ice sheets were starting to recede. Megafauna disappeared and some like to say that they were hunted to extinction by Paleolithic people which is silly. They do not know what caused the event. Massive layers in the strata show massive charring on the landscape . Possibly a air burst but it’s still unknown

[@AceSpadeThePikachu]

@@judd0112 Indeed. Critics of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis point to the lack of a crater being found, but if the asteroid hit a glacier or exploded in the air (like Tunguska), there'd be no crater. If there IS a crater it's probably buried under half a kilometer of ice or partially eroded away. The Chixulube crater formed 66 million years ago was only discovered completely by accident by oil prospectors because of how eroded it had become.

[@judd0112]

@@AceSpadeThePikachu exactly,, I’ve heard many different theories as to what the cause was I suspect if had to be a airburst or impacted a ice sheet. The Carolina bays are very interesting possibilities meteorite breaks up on entry into smaller ones hitting and creating the bays which seem to line up to some where in the Midwest or Michigan area I can’t recall exactly where but the bays are not natural. If you have never heard of them there’s videos on KZbin about them but since your seem to have knowledge of the younger dryas then you must know about the Carolina bays. But who knows what it was. I’d like to find out someday hopefully

[@AtomicExtremophile]

@@judd0112 why is hunting to extinction silly? We have examples in history and even modern times...look at the UK, every large predator was hunted to extinction by the idle rich for sport! Perhaps there was a kind of impact from an asteroid or whatever, but - like the hunted-to-extinction hypothesis - the evidence isn't there...

[@highlanderknight]

When talking about past events millions of years ago, it would be great to see how the continents looked back THEN instead of the current position of them today. Certainly Siberia wasn't like it was shown in this video, nor was the Yucatan peninsula like it is today.

[@soundscape26]

I got myself thinking the same while watching the video. Then again if maps reflected the continents - or continent if a single mass - as they were back then, people would have a hard time locating where specific events took place. We're just too used to earth as we know it today.

[@AlanTClark]

I was kind of hoping it would have been long enough for him to tell us how life bounced back.

[@ross-carlson]

The leading theories are that over millions of years the atmosphere began to clear and life evolved again - pretty simple actually. The thing that very few can comprehend is the huge amounts of deep time we're talking about. Hundreds of millions of years aren't something we're equiped to understand easily and many of us are simply incapable of understanding - ie the ignorance of evolution deniers who prefer a magic sky daddy snapping things into existence 6000 years ago.

[@cdfdesantis699]

And a few more "fun facts" to throw into the mix:. there's a matching volcanic system in India, called the Deccan Traps, which erupted for approx. 100,000 yrs. Far, far down into the earth's crust, both of these systems are still active. One can see the gargantuan outflows of these eruptions today in Siberia & India. Huge escarpments 100's of meters tall, some appearing like mtns. The biomass left over from the Great Dying is where a large percentage of our fossil fuels come from. This is just 1 instance when life on earth danced along a knife edge. In the long story of our planet, we're just the latest chapter. One day, another extinction event will occur, & if life of any kind survives, face it - humans may be written out of the next one.

[@1SCme]

Naw, humans will survive inside - domes for agriculture, interconnected buildings and underground tunnel systems for critical manufacturing and housing, base diet of mushrooms (can be grown in tunnels), main activity outside the domes will be repair, expansion, and mining the ancient cities for raw materials. After 10 generations, a new norm will set in as humanity waits it out... because we wouldn't really have a chance.

Fun fact, all five major mass extinctions have been linked to volcanic events like the Siberian Traps. They’re known as flood basalt eruptions. The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, for example, not only lines up with the Chicxulub impact, but also the Deccan Traps in India. And the creation of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province is linked to the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event. We might be due for another massive one in Southern Africa in the next few tens of millions of years thanks to the Réunion hotspot. Pretty cool, but also pretty existentially terrifying.

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

mysterious? that was coalsmoke! No, really: So back when trees first evolved, the lignen fibers that made their trunks hard were nearly impossible for most decomposer organisms to eat, and it took a few thousand years for those to evolve to be able to. this meant a few thousand to tens of thousands of years of plant matter built up underground, and made MASSIVE coal deposits. When they came back up in volcanic action, it did what human pollution is doing, but on a catastrophically more massive scale. Ecosystems started to break down and storm activity worldwide went up drastically, permafrost melted and supersped up the process, frozen methane deposits at the poles melted and severely toxified the oceans, messing the absolute CRUD out of hundreds more ecosystems, a type of extremophile microorganism thrived in this and shoved EVEN MORE toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and 9 out of ten species WORLDWIDE went extinct. It was an absolute _CATASTROPHE_ that nearly killed all multicellular life on earth. TL:DR; because fungi couldn't eat trees at first, absurd coal deposits formed, which burned in volcanoes and set off a chain reaction sp deadly it killed 90% or more of all life on earth at the time.

The Deccan traps popped off about 66-65 millions years ago and I think they possibly had something to do with that recent extinction besides the obvious comet that hit at that time.

Aside from the combustion of those coal beds and the fires caused by the massive supervolcanism needing oxygen, the plants of the planet dying off en masse, another crazy little feature about the rising oceanic temperatures and oceanic pH dropping is that it would have a huge impact on the oxygen levels within the atmosphere for animals to breathe. The vast majority of Earth's oxygen doesn't come from the likes of the rainforest or the like but from our oceans. So, the increased ocean temperatures, decreased pH and lack of light caused the phytoplankton and plants in the ocean that produce the oxygen to also die off en masse and thus, Earth's atmospheric oxygen levels dropped, which is also pretty catastrophic.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you!

Scientists are such great story tellers. It's the horrorstories that usually trigger the most funding.

[@corey2232]

That's pretty ironic, considering the "most funding" goes to entertainment & stupid shit... you know, from non-scientists, because it's easier to a "great storyteller" when you don't need facts or research getting in your way. How many people just rushed to theaters to watch the scientist story, Spider-Man No Way Home? What's the best selling book of all time, the Bible? Oh yeah, great science story. Worldwide flood, lots of wrath, murder & destruction! Must've been that funding they writers were after

[@tellyboy17]

@@corey2232 I'm sure there isn't a book in the world that triggered more funding than the bible. The Roman catholic church was the first multinational corporation and has been a highly profitable business for almost 2 millennia now. Doom sells! But of course I wasn't talking about funding in general but funding for Science. The way it works: scientist produce reports that show that something horrible is about to happen and further research is needed to stave off disaster. It's what the climate religion is based on.

And all this time I thought the G.O.P. was the champion of toxic out gassing. Nice show!

Although the Great Oxidation actually killed more, it generally goes unmentioned in terms of ELE severity as opposed to The Great Dying and the Cretaceous/Paleogene extinction.

You and Simon should do a channel together. You could call it “Today I Found Out Everything and a Bag of Chips”. Or “Bread vs Mustache”. The possibilities are endless! But you know you need to shave it off and let your skin breathe every now and then. Otherwise you get pock marks. Don’t worry your fans will understand, and if you loose view because you lost your tash. Then they weren’t really fans to begin with, and probably skipped your add reads anyway.

Great video as always, I'd like to more more about how they were able to tell how many species died out though, when we havent even catalogued all existing species in our current epoch.
