"The researchers behind this massive undertaking found that those previous spikes in temperatures - like when an asteroid crashed-landed on Earth and killed all the dinosaurs about 66 million years ago, or the 250-million-year-old extinction event known as the " Great Dying" that eradicated most life on this planet - provide more evidence than ever that rapidly rising global heat is accompanied by planet-wide mass death."
"To Rogan's drug-addled mind, however, the millennia-spanning temperature spikes and plummets show that climate change is a hoax - and he has a graph, which was produced by the Washington Post in an article about the study, that he thinks proves it. That graph shows the ups and downs of surface temperatures over millions of years. Somehow, Rogan completely misread the chart's time scale and insists that the "drop at the end" shows that Earth's temperature is "plummeting,&""
Scientists compiled over 150,000 data points from climate models and fossil records to reconstruct global surface temperatures across the past 485 million years. The reconstruction reveals that Earth has been much warmer during certain intervals and that rapid temperature spikes have coincided with mass extinction events, such as the asteroid impact 66 million years ago and the 250-million-year-old "Great Dying." Those past extremes provide evidence that rapid global heating is accompanied by planet-wide mass mortality. A widely shared graphical misreading inverted the reconstruction's timeline, producing a false impression that modern temperatures are "plummeting" rather than rising.
