Dimethyl sulfide.
You've heard about the biosignatures found on the
planet K2-18b, including what looks like dimethyl
sulfide, a tasty little morsel known on earth only
from life and/or human industry.
It comes from plankton, apparently...
You know about the Great Oxidation Event, right?
Something around 2 billion years ago, the planet
crazy with oxygen emitting microbes, the
atmosphere got so saturated that things started
to oxidize -- "Rust," baby! -- and said life started to
become non life i.e. dead, as oxygen was poison
to it.
Hence; "The Great Oxidation Event," which was the
first ever mass extinction.
Now what if Snowball Earth got kicked off the same
way?
Life.
Plankton.
Dimethyl sulfide.
Sulfur can be a very nasty thing in our atmosphere.
For starters, it's a planet cooler!
(Coal is the biggest sulfur criminal of all the fossil
fuels)
The sulfur converts into an aerosol and bounces
sunlight -- energy from the sun -- back out into
space. It's gone. And if the atmosphere was
saturated by life with this Dimethyl sulfide stuff
the same way earlier life had poured on the
oxygen, that could have caused or at least
contributed to Snowball Earth.
READ YOUR GRETA GOSPELS! Memorize the
Gwobull Warbling narrative: CO2 is supposed
to stay in the atmosphere for 300 to a thousand
years, as NASA is ordered to report. Well that's
nowhere near enough time to warm up the
earth after a single VEI8 volcano!
It took over a thousand years to live down the
effects of the Toba eruption. over 70k years
ago. The Younger Dryas cooling lasted over a
thousand years, and pretty much all of science
outside of another government agency, NOAA,
think it was caused by the impact of an object
from space or a super volcano...
So if life had saturated the atmosphere with
Dimethyl sulfide, to the point that it was driving
some cooling, and there was a period of major
volcanic activity, we're talking a double-doom
scenario here!
See, The Great Oxidation Event happened NOT
because oxygen is yucky and we need to pay
Greta and Extinction Rebellion to get rid of the
stuff. It was so terrible because there was no
balance.
Yet.
The atmosphere had never been saturated
with oxygen before so the planet, life had
never found a balance. Life had evolved
WITHOUT all the oxygen in the air, and now
suddenly here it was... THEY WERE
BREATHING THE STUFF AND EVERYTHING!
No wonder they all died!
So what if something along the same lines
happened with Dimethyl sulfide. All this
planet-cooling stuff was getting pumped into
the air and, like The Great Oxidation Event,
may have tipped an unprepared world off
balance. Or, all the Dimethyl sulfide billowed
by life sent everything critical during a
period of heavy volcanic activity.
AND DON'T BOTHER GOOGLING ANY OF
THIS!
Science is gone. Journalism is gone. It's all
100% Gwobull Warbling 100% of the time.
Nothing real.
And it's all self refuting. If you don't believe
me then, yes, Google it. Read about the
shithead claims volcanoes caused Snowball
Earth but then the CO2 they gushed warmed
the planet and stopped it.
Snowball Earth lasted for MILLIONS of years!
MILLIONS.
So unless you now want to pretend that CO2
is eternal, volcanoes could not have both
caused Snowball Earth and stopped it.
Impossible.
BECAUSE the goddamn CO2 they let out
when they erupted can't stay in the atmosphere
for millions of years!
You'd need more volcanoes... and the claim is
that volcanoes froze the planet so we're back
to Square-1.
Yes, it's another "Ah, science!" moment brought
to you by the ruling elite... "If you only backed
hyper regressive taxation, like we said, none of
this would have happened!"
