Very interesting talk give at TED by Peter Ward. It explores the various mass extinctions endured by our planet and debunks many myths that surround them. As per usual, another outstanding TED Talk.

    This is some mind blowing stuff. Never knew mass extinctions were partly the result of high CO2 levels. Imagine we have secret H2S metabolic pathways in our genomes that we never knew about!!
