The Great Dying: Earth's Worst Extinction Event

We dive into the Permian–Triassic extinction (~251.9 million years ago), its drivers—Siberian flood basalts, skyrocketing CO2, global warming, ocean acidification and widespread anoxia—and the brutal, multi-million-year recovery that followed. We then draw the parallels to today, examining how rapid carbon release could push ecosystems toward tipping points with lasting impacts on life for millions of years, and what lessons this ancient catastrophe holds for our era.
