A new study by biologists in New Zealand is now blaming Plankton for climate change! Well, not that Plankton, but more than 2-thousand species of ancient plankton, and another micro-animal called graptolite, that lived as long as 400-million years ago.
And actually they’re not blaming the plankton, but rather they believe the extinction of the ancient plankton was caused by radical climate change. Professor James Crampton, of Victoria University, concluded that “…extinction happens in short bursts or episodes… ….it is the severity of the change in the environment that determines if old or new species are prone to extinction…. …the modern rate of environmental change could alter the balance of extinction risk….”
Please note that the ancient creatures studied lived at a time when humans did not exist, yet the extinction of these micro-animals is blamed on radical climate change. So what happened? Did professor Emmet Brown travel back in time in his piece-o-junk Chevy wannabe DeLorean (he got the car because they were dirt cheap because nobody wanted them) and then proceed to massively pollute the atmosphere?
Study says tropical groundwater benefits from climate change!
