It can be said it also preserved those towns too. Buried them under a lot of ash. It's one of the best ancient archeological sites in the entire world.
There aren't really enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction. Don't get me wrong, a nuclear war would, at the very best, cause "only" hundreds of millions of deaths, though the actual death toll would likely be over a billion.
There's a old British movie called The Day The Earth Caught Fire, about two simultaneous nuclear tests, throwing the Earth out of its orbit and off its normal axis....it plunges towards the Sun and heats up with disastrous results....the film ends on a cliffhanger.
Glad the writer included the Siberian Traps as I plan to use the event to write my senior thesis. A quick correction from newer data (Vinnik, L. P., Oreshin, S. I., & Makeyeva, L. I. (2017)) puts the conservative estimate of CO2 released at 68 Gt between the degassing of carbon deposits (burning of coal) at the time as well as contact metamorphism of such deposits. I personally have used petrology survey boreholes to put put together a rough estimate of 1.3 million sqkm with 12-19,000 sqkm producing an estimated 1000 Gt CO2 (Henrik H. Svensen) over a period of roughly 500,000 years which led up to the P-T extinction event. There is some dispute over an eruption hiatus shortly after the extinction period which according to Burgess and Bowring's 2015 data chart may have lasted for roughly 500,000 years, but there is still evidence of intrusive magmatism during this time. Regardless, I just love to use this data to point out that during the event, Gt CO2/year production would have been .068 over the 1 million year-long eruption, but today its around 37.5 (2022 data). So .068 Gt CO2/year * 500,000 year = mass extinction. What does 37.5 Gt CO2/year * x year = ?
Siberian Traps, The basalt eruption/large igneous province that occurred also burnt life already present, so your measurements of just the off gassing of lava and various gas chambers wouldn't be including all the organic material that would be absolutely incinerated alongside creating even more gasses. I am CERTAINLY not as smart or knowledgeable as you, but I do know large igneous provinces were absolute behemoths which actually helped shape large land masses, etc.
Unfortunately because we do not have a way of knowing the amount of organic material that previously existed in the area, so we cannot safely apply the information to our calculations. What we can do, however, is understand that it is possible for new and more data to become available (specifically dC13 data as it is the carbon isotope that represents plant life the greatest) to use in the future. For example, if I were to take all the dC13 data for the 1 million year eruption timeline and only apply it to the 500,000 years leading up to the eruption, the result would still only be .136 Gt CO2/year, which would be a disingenuous figure. Hopefully more samples and testing in the future will lead to more exact numbers, but until then I would like the estimates to reflect the data as clearly as possible without adding speculation.
We have LOTS of active volcanoes here in Washington State, including Mt Saint Helens, Mt Rainier, Mt Baker about 25 miles from me, and several others. They would explode rather than leak lava. It certainly would be exciting and liven up the place.
Simon and the writer pump out like 5 or 6 episodes a day spread across all their channels. At this point, I think Simon is just reading a dramatic version of someone's written summary of a wikipedia page with some pop culture rumors and lingo thrown in there. They decided to go for the adrevenue dollar over the intellectual respect which you can't really blame them for. Simon used to present these scripts very differently not even that long ago. These channels went from educational entertainment to entertainment with some educational basis.
0:10 Well we really don't have a good way to redirect them either so I'd be careful about giving dinosaurs shit for that. We are kind of on the cusp of being able to do it though and we have even done some practical testing. Right now, we MIGHT be able to redirect an asteroid but it depends on the size and the amount of warning we get. If something the size of the Chixulub impactor appeared tomorrow and was going to hit us within a few months, we'd be pretty fucked too. Also one possible correction. The Permian-Triassic extinction event in where the Siberian Traps spilled a crazy amount of material, that MAY have been ultimately caused by an asteroid too. The Siberian Traps are the antipode of a massive impact crater in Australia that we think may have triggered the Traps. I don't believe it is the scientific consensus though at this point.
Simon - At about 2:00 you say that between 10-20 volcanoes are erupting every day. Well, as of right now today there are 47 actively erupting volcanoes around the world. That number changes daily though.
It's still a hypothesis that the Deccan Traps had a part to play in the extinction of the dinosaurs. It's hypothesized that the Chicxulub impact exacerbated the ongoing volcanism occurring at approximately it's antidote
There is also now fossil evidence to indicate that the impact happened in late Spring and it is also suspected that the object, may have split in two. There is a evidence of a crater in Africa, of a similar age.
Look into the final episode of M*A*S*H. So many people watched the episode at once that when the episode finished, all the plumbing in the cities had a lot of issues.
@@austinfisher1015that reminds me of a video Simon made about how soap opera episodes would cause a power surge when they ended and people went to get tea.
The great oxygenation event is estimated to have wiped out between 80 to 99.5% of all species on earth. This was the 1st mass extinction event and no volcanos were involved.
The moon is steadily moving away from the earth which means it was much closer in the past. 65 million years ago it was only 30 feet above the ground which explains why the dinosaurs went extinct, or at least the taller ones.
Not all birds are lame. There are the raptors, and the cassowary which will gut you like a JP velociraptor then most terrifyingly leave you to die in agony while it goes to find some fruit to eat since they're herbivores.
Ooooh, did you include dormant volcanoes in the arctic and antarctic? There are volcanoes under the polar ice caps and Greenland. Wouldn't that be fun?
Just like when a movie is being made it will usually have a working title before it gets its final named title as the scripts are changed and we end up with something different from when it started. Since the content of the videos has changed from the original premise of what was before they have now come up with a final name for the channels.
@@ThatWriterKevin I don't think I inspired it. You can take all the credit. I'm just glad it was made. I don't even know if it was this channel I made the comment on.
Mt Tamboura is the single biggest reason why humankind must not become totally reliant on solar energy. We can do without fossil fools, but we need more than solar.
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, decreased ocean pH, and increased ocean temperatures - kinda like now? Well, it's been an honour and privilege to have known you

Fort the record, CO2 does not cause acid rain or oceans, sulphur does. The amount of CO2 needed to bring pH down from 7 to 6 is _mega collossal_ to continue with the terminology. Only a fraction of that amount in sulphur is needed to do the same thing. Looking at Icelands current effusive eruption, they list 11kt a day for CO2 and 8kt a day for Sulphur. Did I mention yet that sulphur is orders of magnitude better at dropping pH yet? I am agronomist, I know how to make fertilizer solutions, and pH is a big thing for us. Additionally, I have an aquarium in which I deliberately dissolve CO2 through a reactor in order to get the plants to grow better. At full juice, I can bring the pH down from 7.2 to 6.6 using CO2. I can crank it up further, but the off-gassing happens far too quickly for this to be a real option. Remember, the more water moves (waves, currents, tidal motion), the more it off gasses. I can say with confidence, based on my own experiences that bringing down the pH of oceans is virtually impossible with just CO2.
Where I live in Massachusetts we would have had a centimeter of ash from the last yellowstone eruption. I found a map. I also LOVE that you went into the knock on effects of the Siberian Traps. The great dying is my worst nightmare!!
Wouldn’t the simultaneous eruption of all the volcanoes result in a diffusion of pressure that reduces if not eliminates the amount of particulate matter that reaches the upper atmosphere?
Calls Dinosaurs stupid. Proceeds to ask the stupidest question. The Siberian traps were way more devastating than as they erupted for millions of years 😆
Is it possible for all the volcanoes to go off at once? Wouldn't that require the core to become so hot that the planet would just blow up first? Like Krypton or Alderaan?
I haven't seen a presentor get so excited about the death of humaity in a long time. Would it be time for Mr Whistler to become a James Bond baddie (he is British after all)?
I think some you can confirm extended. Take the Hawaiian islands. The one that just erupted active the the others in that island chain since there not over the hot spot ther extinct. But that raises another question since they were created by the same spot do are they considered 1 volcano since each island was made by the volcanic hotspot
Oh hey Kevin. Simon let you branch out did did he? Did not realize since I've had a hard time keeping up with his content somedays. Did the blazement chain get longer because of this
Maybe Simon can answer why he changed the name of the channel? I just recently found out that there is a HUGE book series (39 books) geared towards teens that is called "The Science of Science Fiction". Is this the reason you changed the channel name? To avoid any legal problems that could come your way (or even RUclips take down notices) from the author of that book series? It sucks, though. The original name was finally unambitious, and very interesting and focused. Despite what some think, you'll have a long way to go before you come close to running out of scifi ideas to investigate.
@@ThatWriterKevin ok. Just figured that scifi topics are pretty endless (since scifi is commonly rooted in actual science, especially theories that make for interesting stories). The old title was more of an audience draw and really defined the channel (something Simon struggles at, lol). The new one is ambiguous and kinda boring, tbh. He has half a dozen channels that can host nondescript science videos.
The eruption of Mt Vesuvius destroyed not only Pompeii but also the nearby much smaller city of Herculaneum.
And those people's heads exploded because of the heatwave
@@sebaseba6710 at least it was quick apparently

So all the nuclear weapons detonating are "better" than all the volcanoes .. thanks nature.
There aren't really enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction.
