Mass #extinction event 260 million years ago resulted from #climatechange, studies say
#Ocean stagnation, #ecosystem collapses, and #volcano eruptions all played a role.
This Capitanian #massextinction was once lumped in with the “#GreatDying” of the end-Permian mass extinction, but the lesser-known extinction occurred 8–10 million years earlier. It may not have been great, but it was quite lethal, seeing as many as 62% of species go extinct!

The Great Dying: To depict the worst extinction of all time, I drew the Earth as a skull. #GreatDying
Late Devonian Extinction: This one was set off by the evolution of trees completely changing how the world's climate worked. By breaking up rock into soil they released nutrients into the environment, leading to anoxic waters. Trees reduced the CO2 in the atmosphere, making it get cold. To try and depict the trees indirectly killing life, I drew them literally killing it with their roots.
