   I snipped utter bullshit.   
      
   I know what the FAKE "science" says. But I also know what REAL   
   science believes, and that's volcanic activity sparking your   
   extinction event.   
      
   Volcanoes actually  /Cool/ the earth, btw. When Toba exploded   
   over 70k years ago it threw the planet earth into a global   
   winter. Most human life died. We came very near becoming extinct   
   ourselves!   
      
          ...temperatures in the northern hemisphere plummet maybe   
   20F, and it took well over a thousand years to recover!   
      
   The southern hemisphere and the equator recover more rapidly,   
   obviously...   
      
   So you can imagine the huge clouds billowing out of a volcano   
   and you can extrapolate that... orders of magnitude larger   
   volcano throwing orders of magnitude more of that "Cloud" into   
   the sky...   
      
   Over an extended period of time, what's going to live? All life   
   comes from the sun.   
      
   NOTE:  A much smaller than Toba volcano erupted over 40k years   
   ago, and one researcher claims that most plants in the northern   
   hemisphere stopped producing pollen for like a year...   
      
   But even a thousand years is very short term in geologic time,   
   isn't it? And it's not like if Toba took a thousand years to   
   clear then 2x Toba would take over 2,000 years. I don't think   
   it works that way. You can check with a volcanologist but, sulfur   
   and particulates don't really know that there's other sulfur &   
   particulates and they need to wait their turn.   
      
   It's been FOREVER, but I'm pretty sure it's similar to how the   
   blast zone of a nuclear weapon does NOT grow directly in   
   proportion to the yield. This is why the U.S. always concentrated   
   on smaller & smaller weapons, btw. You could cause far more   
   destruction by dropping more than one small weapon than one large   
   one.   
      
   But, hey, sulfur likes to come down as Acid Rain, don't it? And   
   the ocean needs to be alkaline. If it's not, things like shells   
   just kind of dissolve.   
      
   Not good for fish, either.   
      
   And it eats the ozone.
