      bro this is soo wrong in every way you need to learn how actual co2 capture regularly occurs when there was mass co2 on the planet as well that co2 is a scam even the scamers are trying to pretend its climate change not global warming now. Co2 follows volcanic events and heavy solar increase not the other way around.

      It is reassuring that any alien invaders may not even realise there is land under the clouds covering the UK. It does make me feel a bit safer. In the book the Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury there is one story of travellers marooned on a planet where it never stops raining which is a horror story in itself. The film of it is very well done.

      @@peanuts2105 Yes but Paris also does not suffer the other issues , like constant bone chilling wind and the wind itself being often mixed with droplets of water creating this bone-chilling wind , So its why you do get people coming from colder places than here but often complain that it feels colder
      This is because you often wet + the wind goes right through you so you feel colder
      The same goes with heat, because of the Humidity the heat can feel worse while not being as hot as other places.
      Fun-fact
      Britain used to be a massive temperate rainforest , over time we lost the rain forest due to cutting it down but we still have Temperate rainforest weather

    What I still I'm waiting in a Carnian pluvial event video is an explanation on how the animals manage to survive and thrive if the majority of water sources got contaminated by acid rain pouring continuously? Plants kinda I get it there's always a tough resourceful type able to thrive in the most crazy conditions and can filter lot's of stuff but how Herrerasaurus could expand if many water bodies and river were subjected to all this acid rain? do paleonthologist propose any solution?

    • @ivanthemisunderstood6940
      @ivanthemisunderstood6940 7 дней назад

      H2S is heavier than air, so the critical levels of acid rain would likely have been isolated to lower elevations/basins. With the frequency/strength/volume of rainfall (think of a hyper hurricane season that never stopped) the amount of wind and rain would have made toxic acid rain events isolated and short lived. If an Herrasaurus couldn't drink the water, they could probably wait a day or two and/or travel a few miles to find potable water. The ocean creatures notsamuch.
