Hopefully future global warming won’t get anywhere near temperatures of 250 million years ago, but if it does we have shown that it may take millions of years to recover," Professor Paul Wignall of Leeds Uni said.

I have no problem with responding to Dr. Wignall with an amused, "who cares?"

Given what we know about earth's history, we should expect some crazy stuff over the next billion years. Or maybe a different tense like "would have expected" or something, acknowledging the fact that not one of us or any recognizable ancestor of us will be subject to deadly global temperatures even under the current exaggerated models

Hello stupid. I meant “descendent” not “ancestor”.
