5. The Permian Extinction wasn't sudden either.

Don't need a meteor impact to cause one. The Permian Extinction killed off more than 96 percent of the planet’s marine species and 70 percent of its terrestrial life. It was not instantaneous or sudden. Depending on which group of scientists one reads, the extinction even lasted for as long as 15 million years, with a competing theory suggesting the event only took 200,000 years with most of the die off occurring during the last 20,000 years.

This extinction was likely due to climate change related to volcanic activity which produced massive quantities of carbon dioxide.

The US produces lots of oil and gas from the Permian Basin. Ever wonder why all that petroleum is a fossil fuel?
