Comment on The Uninhabitable Earth (2017)parent

The problem I have with this article is that it straight up calls the permian mass extintion event as induced by global warming changes.

Being generous, that is -at best- a lie of omission. The Permian event was caused by massive lava flows from tectonic changes and a rise on the lava stratum to to lower end of the earth crust " The scientific consensus is that the main cause of extinction was the large amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the volcanic eruptions" [1]

Its really hard to take articles like this seriously when they play so hard and fast with the facts to fit their narrative.
