- Sadly, their careers survived.
Oh no! Just when you thought you had all your
paranoid fears about the Apocalypse itemized and planned for, science goes ahead and
surprises us with a new one: KILLER DEEP-SEA SUPERVOLCANOES. (Also the name of my new Japanese noise-rock project.)
And when I say "killer" I'm talking about species-wide extinction-level killer, which would be sad for us, insofar as we don't yet know what happens on TV's Lost. So, science tells us the following:
'Supervolcanoes' emitted large amounts of gases and particles into the atmosphere, and re-paved the ocean floor [... leading to]: Loss of species, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and changes in ocean circulation.
Thanks science!
