1. Benjamin Franklin was the first person to correlate change in weather with volcanic activity 2.

At the end of Permian time, about 90% of life on Earth died out 3. Global cooling generally follows a major volcanic eruption 4. The cause of the Great Dying was giant fissure eruptions of flood basalt in Siberia 5. At the time of the Great Dying, North America was part of supercontinent Pangaea 6. Cygnognathus is a dog-like animal that survived the Permian extinction but died out at end or Triassic extinction event 7. Synapsids are animals that arose in the Permian and eventually gave rise to mammals 8. Trap is the step-like appearance created by abrupt termination of successive flood-basalt flows 9. In 1783, high concentration of fluorine gas from Laki eruption killed of livestock in Iceland, resulting in famine, which killed 10.000 Icelanders 10. Continued global warming can eventually raise ocean temperatures sufficiently to cause frozen methane in marine sediments to gasify, bubble up to sea surface, and become part of the atmosphere 1.
