WHAT? We can’t have this kind of stuff contaminating the convenient narrative that man is a piece of crap who only kills everything in sight!!!
If you are of the educational capacity of this editor, what that headline means is that a new study suggests that man wasn’t the cause of mass extinctions of now nonexistent big animals that once roamed Africa.
Science Magazine has access to information about the study (subscription required).
New Center Maine shares more information.
For example: “The animal decline might have instead been because of environmental factors such as declining atmospheric carbon dioxide and expansion of grasslands, researchers write.”
OH MY! GASP! SPUTTER! CRY, fall on the floor and bang your head. Is this “suggestion” suggesting that global cooling (decreased carbon dioxide) was the cause of mass animal extinction in Africa? If so, nothing makes any sense. If according to the Algorites, increased levels of carbon dioxide warm the planet and will eventually kill us all, then millions of years ago, according to the research being examined, a lack of carbon dioxide caused extinctions, then wouldn’t increased carbon dioxide, i.e. Global Warming, a.k.a. Climate Change be good for some animals and bad for others? Haven’t sensible scientists and observers been suggesting this since like forever?
And all of this without internal combustion engines and billions of people farting.
Isn’t carbon dioxide mostly a good thing?
According to the brilliance of man, no matter what happens to carbon dioxide surrounding this existence…wait for it… We’re All Gonna Die! – after some have made their millions/billions/trillions.
Then we become useless eaters and need exterminating.
