Well, for the most catastrophic mass extinction consider this graph:

The bar bigger than all the other bars is the Permian-Triassic. The lowball estimate on how many species were eradicated is 90%.

As to the temperate part, look to the left of this graph (linking because it's really big) at the border between P and Tr (Permian and Triassic), based on research from a paleobotanist and another PhD in something and a 4.5 / 5 score on doubleyou doubleyou doubleyou RatemyProfessors.com.

It should be 14, I did 9/4 instead of 9/5 for some reason (Obama?). And I agree that is unlikely we will cause the most devastating extinction event the world has seen in 5 billion years, but that's setting the bar a little low, isn't it? It would be like murdering 3000 people and pointing out that 99.999% of the United States population survived.

All I heard was that only the Bay Area in California and parts of NY have reason to worry. I don't live in those areas so it's all good.

USA! (Minus CA and NY) USA! (Minus CA and NY) USA! (Minus CA and NY)

Have you always been a communist? Liberal, God hating heathens like you laughed at and mocked Jesus because he wanted to build an ark to save the animals. Who's laughing now? Moses that's who! Because he had the right idea! Build a (space) ark, load up two of every animal and all 7 billion humans and find the next planet to destroy.

Here's a Bible. Read it. Memorize it. It could save your life.

Dude, Jesus can't build an Ark! He couldn't even make it as a carpenter.

Those humans with their SUV's in the Permian-Triassic era were real assholes. I'd like to think we're more evolved than that.

I don't agree that every evolved human should support a ban on SUVs, but it's your right to say it.

Wait, wait, wait... are you suggesting that the climate changed multiple times in the past and it had nothing to do with man?

FLAT EARTHER ALERT LEVEL 3!
