Or what happens when you get more carbon into the atmosphere than the Earth can handle, as outlined in this Guardian article, in which it describes periods of volcano activity so intense they wipe out most life on the planet and turned it into a noxious, lifeless hell for pretty much everything. Fun stuff!
I like the following quote. Lips = Large Igneous Provinces, which is a cute, understated way of describing periods of extreme volcanic activity that move massive amounts of lava below and then onto the Earth’s surface:
Lips are the Earth’s way of rudely reminding us that our thin rocky surface, and the gossamer glaze of green goo that coats it, sits atop a roiling, utterly indifferent planetary drama.
Anyway, just something different from the stories about Trump’s health (tip to readers in the future: It ain’t lookin’ good!)
