Scientists have used geologic evidence to determine that long term volcanic activity from the Siberia region led to the death of very nearly all life on planet Earth 250 million years ago. The release of so much volcanic material into the atmosphere had caused a thinning of the ozone and extended periods of acid rain, raising the overall temperature of the Earth’s climate. A vast majority of scientists now say they have accumulated data that shows our planet is now experiencing similar symptoms...
