两亿多年前，一场被称为二叠纪大灭绝的灾难性事件毁灭了超过90%的物种和近97%的生物。其起因长期以来一直是古生物学界的一个谜题；在20世纪90年代和本世纪初，认为死神来自天外的人与认为背后机制更为复杂的人之间展开了一场大论战。刚协助证实了小行星撞击导致恐龙灭绝的古生物学家 Peter D. Ward 转向了二叠纪谜题，并得出了一个令人震惊的结论。在他的调查中……

> 气候变化并不意味着地球不适合居住。纵观地球生命几乎全部的历史，对于地球上的绝大多数生命来说，这句话都是错的。Peter Ward 的《Under a Green Sky》从科学角度探讨了这个主题，非常值得一读；而 Peter Brannen 的《The Ends of the World》则以更偏纪实报道的风格更广泛地覆盖了这一话题。我们掌握的地质证据有力地……
> A changing climate doesn't mean an unlivable earth. For virtually the entire history of life on this planet for the majority of life on the planet, this statement is false. Peter Ward's Under a Green Sky is a great read on this subject from a scientific point of view and Peter Brannen's The Ends of the World covers it more broadly with a more journalistic style. The geological evidence we have strongly…
……更令人担忧的是，大量的地质证据表明，存在导致温室气体（GHG）和气温急剧飙升的反馈触发机制，而我们并不确切知道什么时候会跨过这些红线。古生物学家 Peter Ward 在《Under a Green Sky》一书中提出了相当有说服力的证据，表明绝大多数灭绝事件都是由二氧化碳变化引发的快速气候变化造成的。我搞不懂你为什么不……
…Far more concerning is that this tons of geological evidence that there are feed back triggers that cause rapid rise in GHGs and temperature and we don't know exactly when we might cross these. The book Under a Green Sky, by paleontologist Peter Ward lays out rather convincing evidence that the majority of extinction events have been caused by rapid climate change triggered by changes in CO2. I'm not sure why you don't…
……大规模饥荒。但如果你真想聊聊不加遏制的气候变化走向——也就是我们选择不把碳氢化合物留在地下会发生什么——我强烈推荐读读 Peter Ward 的《Under a Green Sky》[2]。他是一位备受尊重的地质学家，提出了极其令人信服的论据，证明绝大多数大灭绝事件都是由二氧化碳快速上升引起的。他指出，我们面临的现实可能之一是……
…massive famine. But if you really want to talk about the unmitigated climate change path, which is what happens if we choose not to keep hydrocarbons in the ground, I really recommend reading Peter Ward's Under a Green Sky [2]. He's a respected geologist that makes a compelling case that the vast majority of mass extinction events were caused by rapid rises in CO2. One of the realistic scenarios we're facing, he argues,…
古生物学家 Peter Ward 提出了一个相当有说服力的论点（无论是在学术研究还是科普书《Under a Green Sky》中），即几乎所有重大的灭绝事件都与大气中 CO2 的骤增有关。当 CO2 快速升高时，发生的事情可远远不止变暖那么简单。一个主要问题是它对……的影响
The paleontologist Peter Ward has made a fairly compelling argument (in both academic research and the popular science book Under a Green Sky), that virtually all major extinction events are related to sudden rises in atmospheric CO2. A lot more happens when CO2 rises quickly other than it getting warmer. A major issue is it's impact on the…
……https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/29/major-se... 考虑到气候系统的滞后性，升温 1.5°C 现在岂不是基本无法避免了吗？我们需要极其大幅度的减排，但根本没发生。《Under a Green Sky》读起来很过瘾，它把古生物学简史（以及好玩的学术圈互掐）与“变暖最终将导致大量硫化氢释放”的预测结合在了一起。我们也许正在迈入……
…https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/29/major-se... Given the lag in the climate, isn’t 1.5C warming more or less unavoidable now? We would need extremely steep emissions reductions that aren’t happening. I enjoyed ‘Under a Green Sky’, which combines a brief history of palaeontology (and amusing academic point settling) with the prediction that warming will eventually cause huge releases of hydrogen sulphide. We are perhaps entering…
……并导致了多次物种大灭绝[1]。同时值得指出的是，大西洋经向翻转环流（AMOC）已经表现出减弱的迹象[2]。古生物学家 Peter Ward 的《Under a Green Sky》对这个话题做了很好的概述。0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_meridional_overturnin... 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_event 2. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aaz4876
