a humble microbe. I didn't do it, never traveled to that period.
To: Renfield
The dinosaurs made a big mistake. They should have put a carbon tax on those microbes.

Well.. some dinner parties need to be destroyed.
It’s sometimes an act of mercy.

I like how the last sentence compares the human race to bacteria. No agenda here, no siree.
These people are not scientists.
To: Renfield
I was going to say it was Obamas fault but then I noticed they said it was a “humble” microbe.

251 million years ago is before the dinosaurs. The microbes cleared the way for the dinosaurs to take over.
How they can get into the mind of an extinct microbe is beyond me...how do they know it was humble? Its victims would be no more dead if the microbe was a proud microbe.

I think it caused by a Gamma Ray Burst from a really close supernova, those things can cause a LOT of havoc!

No.
The range in that direction for my machine is only about 50 million years.
Not even close.
