"And in a worldwide oubreak of volcanic activity, all of them were associated with flood bassalts? Name the locations please."


What worldwide outbreak of volcanic eruptions, where?  All the flood basalts in geologic history have been related to mantle plumes and have been regional eruptions only, but several have had dire global consequences.  The Permian eruptions in Siberia in particular caused the Permian-triassic extinction event because it released so much CO2 over the course of about 2 million years in a long sequence (documented both in Siberia and in sediments in Greenland) that it caused a global warming event that raised global temperatures by 10 degrees C.  And I don't think even you can ignore the severe consequences of such a huge increase in global temperatures.  Certainly not with a fossil record that shows thqat 80% of all species were wiped out in that event.


But no doubt Gipper will think it was a Marxist conspiracy.
