New Ancient Fungus Finding Suggests World's Forests Were Wiped Out In Global Catastrophe

interesting post :-)

Earth experienced global catastrophe within the last 13,000 years.

"When the Earth Nearly Died carefully documents the fascinating story - which has never been told before in such detail - of how this Golden Age of peaceful conditions and equable climates ended traumatically in a tremendous catastrophe about 11,500 years ago. This was part of a cataclysm which disturbed the whole solar system, destroyed at least one sizable planet and its satellite, and also severely devastated Mars and Earth.

Among the fundamental geophysical effects experienced by Earth were a massive fracturing of the crust, a realignment of Earth's axis, elevation of new mountains, and widespread rearrangement of land and sea. These changes were accompanied by an appalling global conflagration, a gigantic flood, and what has been described as 'collapsed sky' conditions. A bombardment by debris from the disintegrated satellite of the destroyed planet added to the worldwide chaos.

Much of Earth's animal and plant life was annihilated by these frightful events. Remains were often buried hundreds of feet below and within vast new deposits which smothered huge areas, both on land and under the sea. Elsewhere they lay piled in caves, choked rock fissures, or were massed into veritable hills. Some havens and refuges did exist, offering shelter to various faunal and floral species from flood or fire - then to have to endure the appalling conditions which followed. These included intense cold, occasioned by chronic atmospheric pollution which severely restricted the solar radiation reaching the Earth, loss of vital resources such as shelter, tools and sources of warmth and nourishment. The extent of the damage was so great that the immediate survivors found themselves literally catapulted into what was, in effect, a new world."

Some forms of life will always survive.

Oh no....they dug up more shit...
Didnt they dig up an eskimo frozen in ice that had the floo?

Zetas Right Again!

The earth always survives ( so far), its the species that die out and change :)

Who told you that bullshit? Fox News?

did it taste good fried in some butter and a few chives?

The earth's climate has ALWAYS been mild, pleasant, and totally stable, until man started burning fossil fuels!

You must of failed High school science

what was the ice age then?

Did you even go to school?

The ice age is a myth invented by neocons to try and downplay the dangers of man-made global warming!

Cool thread, any information on how humans survived this? I couldn't see any info on it.

None i could see either

'This [fungus] was a disaster species, something that perhaps enjoyed the extinction a little more than it should,' explained Professor Mark Sephton of the Impacts and Astromaterials Research Centre at Imperial College. 'It proliferated all over the globe.'

Yes: and Full Circle is also correct. Some forms of life will always survive, so long as the planet exists. Or, until sterilized when the Sun expands, anyway.

I read somewhere that the "average" species exists some 5-6 million years, and then it's gone. Notwithstanding unusual species such as the Coelocanths, sharks, turtles, etc., most species don't really last all that long.

But they are replaced. And quickly.

In both an Adriatic island and one of the Bermudas, studies have shown speciation in so short a time as ONE YEAR!

...“Striking differences in head size and shape, increased bite strength and the development of new structures in the lizard’s digestive tracts were noted after only 36 years, which is an extremely short time scale,” remarks Duncan Irschick, a professor of biology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst."

..."Such physical transformation in just 30 lizard generations takes evolution to a whole new level, Irschick said.

It would be akin to humans evolving and growing a new appendix in several hundred years, he said.

"That's unparalleled. What's most important is how fast this is," he said."

Oops! That liz-zard post was by me, if anyone cares....

Forgot to log in. Senile, eh?

Another one. New species can evolve REALLY QUICKLY!

..."The change came sooner than expected. Just six months later the anoles were almost exclusively tree-dwelling, and longer-legged lizards had died in disproportionate numbers.

SIX MONTHS!

Life on Earth shall not die, not until the Sun destroys all.

Now, WE - we humans - may well die out or destroy ourselves, but the rest of the planet has seen hard times which we can barely imagine. Life always comes back, somehow.

BTW: the original article I found fascinating.
