- does it have any side effects on the ecosystem? - does it have any impact on, you know, the farms you're putting it on? These two questions probably already have an answer: we already grow plants, vegetables, fruit trees on basaltic

All the oceanic crust is made of basalt, so approximately 2/3 of the planet is covered by several miles of it. Unfortunately mining oceanic crust is impractical, for obvious reasons. However some oceanic crust got trapped between mount

Probably in many places along the Alpine Himalayan mountain range, including Algerie, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, India, among others. These mountainous areas are usually heavily fractured by faults and the resulting rock bloc

you probably do not understand what I've wrote but it's fine, it's your right. I'm not replying to you anymore, I wrote the people that paid my education in order to study palaeoclimatology and give a educated opinion in

I understand that you are correcting some assertions, but the way you did questioned the scientific competence of other contributors is reducing the value of the entire sentence you were replying to. You are throwing out the baby with the b

I'm replying exactly to your assertion "Do your homework before repeating random exaggerated claims you've heard on the internet". I did, I didn't get my qualifications searching on Wikipedia, did you? "This me

temperature is not a concern, Life can exists in a relative large range of temperatures. The problem is the speed of temperature rise, that is incompatible with the speed some species can migrate from now-hostile areas. Dinosaurs didn'

I'm a geologist and I've focused on palaeoclimatology putting an eye on the rate of climate change. I've wrote several articles on international peer-reviewed journals. I can say, basing on 20+years of study and lab/fiel

It's not that simple. The graphs you are pointing at do not include the last century, and even if - they are tracing temperature by a proxy: bentic foraminifers dO16/O18. They are organisms living in the oceans, not necessarily in

As a geologist: we are not concerned about the change, we are concerned about the rate of change. The fastest is the change, the largest number of groups of organisms will be exinct.

As a geologist I'm intrigued by the possibility of adding such 'fog of war' but I believe that, if possible, it will make these palaeogeographic reconstructions a little pointless. First of all you have to define what you mea

Geologist here: no. Geomagnetic field reversed thousands of times in the Phanerozoic (last 650 My) without any relation with mass extinction events. Organisms can deal with this kind of events.

Geologist here: I've studied in 1997-2003, than I've had a PhD in stratigraphy in 2007. I researched on a similar subject trying to identify what caused "dinosaurs" appearence (spoiler: another extinction event). At tha
