Geological records show correlation between falling CO2 levels and mass extinction events

The geological time scale (GTS) contains certain eras where CO2 levels were historically high due to thriving plant life, and also contains periods where CO2 levels were catastrophically low, which correlate with mass extinction events and the inability of certain species to adapt. The climate and botanical history during these eras and the volcanic and seismic events that occurred over these periods indicate the all-important influence of atmospheric CO2 levels over life on Earth. This history of the CO2 cycle and its natural sequestration has implications for the survival of entire species.

Today, globalists seek to interfere with CO2 levels using large scale geoengineering experiments. These globalists hope to achieve a “Net Zero” future by sequestering carbon into the ground and reducing this essential compound to zero. Certain eras in the GTS show that this is a path toward devastation and the destruction of multiple species over time.

The geological time scale (GTS) is a historic time scale based on the Earth’s rock record. It classifies eras throughout the Earth’s history spanning hundreds of millions of years. The GTS is a chronological dating system that relies on chronostratigraphic (the study of how strata relate to time) as well as geochronological (a scientific field of study that focuses on determining the age of rock). It’s primarily used by earth scientists (e.g., geologist, paleontologist, geophysicist, geochemist, etc.) to explain the timing and relationship of events in geological history. The geological time scale has evolved over time by studying rock layers and their relationships, as well as identifying features like lithologies and paleomagnetic characteristics, as well as fossils.

During the Devonian Period, (around 400 million years ago) CO2 levels were over 2000 ppm. Compared to today’s records, CO2 concentrations were five times greater at this point in the geological time scale. Because of this abundance in CO2, plants rapidly spread across the land and rapidly diversified. Paleontologists refer to this time as the Devonian Explosion. As plant life multiplied, marine species also flourished, giving the Devonian period the nickname, the Age of Fishes. By the end of this era, the boom of photosynthesizing plants had reduced CO2 concentrations drastically, giving rise to a new era rich with atmospheric oxygen. Back then, atmospheric oxygen levels reached 35%, compared to today’s level of 21%. Amphibians that breathed oxygen through their skin were better adapted to this climate. Giant arthropods thrived during this time...<<<Read More>>>...
