-(Natural News) An international team of researchers has found further evidence that volcanic eruptions were responsible for the largest mass extinction event in history. In a study published in the journal Geology, the researchers detailed their discovery of coronene, a type of hydrocarbon that can be produced by an intense volcanic eruption, in sedimentary rocks. Link of coronene to […]

-(Natural News) A chain of supervolcanoes on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian ocean erupted continuously for 30 million years, according to a study published in the journal Geology. Researchers from Curtin University and the University of Tasmania in Australia, as well as Uppsala University in Sweden, said that the supervolcanoes were fueled by a “magma conveyor belt.” […]

-(Natural News) According to a recent study, the asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago likely released an enormous amount of material into the atmosphere, leading to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and several other species. In their report, which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an international team of researchers […]

-(Natural News) A string of exploding stars might have caused at least one mass extinction event 365 million years ago, suggests a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Multiple supernovae depleted the ozone layer for a long period of time which increased the amount of radiation that entered Earth. As a result, several […]

-(Natural News) Impacts from near-Earth objects (NEO) have caused some of the biggest mass extinction events ever experienced by Earth. Now, an international team has come together for an exercise to track one such NEO and assess the threat it posed while demonstrating how experts from around the world can come together in response to such […]

-(Natural News) Children have been coming home from school afraid for their future, afraid for their lives. Some kids now believe they have less than ten years to live because of something that has been pounded in their heads — a political dogma called climate change. Children are being told that nothing is being done to address […]

-(Natural News) Appearing before the United Nations recently, climate activist Greta Thunberg went on a tirade about how humanity is supposedly undergoing a “mass extinction” event due to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Apparently unaware of the fact that CO2 is a “greening” molecule that contributes to plant growth and sustenance, Thunberg was […]

-(Natural News) Volcanoes could have caused the worst mass extinction on Earth. According to researchers from the University of Cincinnati (UC) and the China University of Geosciences (CUG), the most reliable evidence for this outcome comes from a recent mercury discovery buried in layers of ancient rock. The event, known as the Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction, took place 252 million years ago […]

-(Natural News) Wherever you are in the world, the news is about the same things: protests and riots, environmental crises, civilians that express their frustrations on social media, and governments that couldn’t care less. At this rate, civil and political unrest will soon uproot the global, industrial civilization. Will you be able to adapt to such drastic […]
