  1. Causes of the Siberian eruption? by Evil+Pete · · Score: 1 · on Volcanic Warming Eyed in 'Great Dying'

    I posted a comment on this somewhere else, but it should have been here.

    There are claims that a large (Chicxulub size) impact occurred in Northern Australia 251 million years ago at the same time as the Permian Extinction. Two things come to mind:

    1. Both the KT event and the Permian involved potentially very large long lived volcanic regions (Deccan Traps, Siberia) and asteroid impacts (well the Permian one isn't proven yet)

    2. On Mercury there is evidence of a large region of the crust being ruptured due to the impact of an asteroid on the exact opposite side of the planet due to the focused shock waves

    So could the Permian extinction have been triggered by an impact but brought to fruition by the vulcanism?

    PS. If I had mod points and I hadn't already posted I would have given you a +1 Informative

  2. Asteroids & Volcanoes? by Evil+Pete · · Score: 1 · on Volcanic Warming Eyed in 'Great Dying'

    The Deccan Traps occurred coincidentally at about the same time as the Chicxulub impact. Now there is an interesting feature on the surface of Mercury where a large impact on one side of the planet triggered crustal rupture on the exact opposite point of the planet ... since that is where the seismic waves were focused. I'm wondering, and I'm sure this has already occured to planetary scientists, if this might be the origin of the Deccan Traps. Recently some researchers suggested that 251 million years ago there was a large impact in what is now Northern Australia. The crater would be about the same size as Chicxulub.

    So are we seeing another extinction caused by the double whammy of impact and vulcanism with the vulcanism causing even worse long term grie?

    Yeah, God forbid that happens.

  7. Phase out gasoline engines, not replace them by DaveWhite99 · · Score: 1 · on Renewable Energy From Algae?
    In the EU, diesels engines are in about 50% (and rising) of new automobiles sold. Why, just recently, MB re-introduced diesels to the U.S. . You can go down to your local MB dealer and pickup an E320 CDI that can go from 0-60 in 6.8 seconds and still average over 30mpg. Not bad for a car that heavy !

    If, like me, you can't afford a $50,000 USD Mercedes, take a visit to you local VW dealership and checkout their lineup of diesels available in every model they sell save the brand-new minivan.
