DKos: Global Warming Killed the Dinosaurs and Now It's Going To Kill You

Behold the latest missive from the reality-based community.

Sixty-five million years ago, a large rock came screaming in from space. ... The common conception is that it was this falling stone that signaled the end of the dinosaurs and cleared the slate for the mammals to take center stage.  The truth was messier. ...

The largest mass extinction event of all, the end-Permian, occurred during one of the warmest ever climatic phases and saw the estimated extinction of 95 per cent of animal and plant species.

If global warming and the associated changes are what really does in ecosystems, what does that say about our immediate future? ... The next time someone tries to shrug off global warming with some remark that "the planet has been warmer before," you might want to let them know that when it was, massive and widespread death was the result.

Repent and get your affairs in order, while there's still time.  Or, at very least, vote Democrat in 2008.
