The rise of mollusks across the globe was a harbinger of doom roughly 250 million years ago, ushering in the most devastating mass extinction in Earth's history, research now reveals.

Note the follow passage while keeping a good bead on the title of the article:
"The abundance of mollusks we see are symptoms of the conditions that ultimately caused the extinction."
Note the word SYMPTOMS. Mollusk abundance is symptomatic - not causal.
DOPE!
As always, have at it.
Mollusks? Were Democrats around 250 million years ago?
Of course! Mollusks! It's so obvious. Why didn't I see it before?

BAD SHELLFISH ALERT!
If there are too many mollusks, I volunteer to have a clam bake at my house.
Funny, in the 1980’s I remember the libs screaming that all the shellfish are dying from pollution and they will be extinct if we don’t do something about it.
We did, we elected a Republican and now the shelfish population is fine. And no one got sick.
In another 250 million years, some scientist will determine that the current abundance of leftist morons caused the (yet to come) worst extinction.
We’re doomed - but first, let me eat some oysters - to lower their abundance so we won’t have any more mass extinctions......
Gotta keep an eye on those Braichiopods, they are going to be the doom of us all.
Stop the Madness: Stop Continental Drift Now!!!
“If there are too many mollusks, I volunteer to have a clam bake at my house.”
See my post 9
Damn - there goes my theory. I was so sure it was sponges.
I can see where the Iranian Mullosks could cause a mass extinction...
next theory: rise of cats prelude to mass extinctions

Zebra mussels...
"Where is that T-Rex? I am going to - kick - his - effin` ARSE!"
"RUN AWAY RUN AWAY! The snails are coming!"
But the MSM already said is was Bush’ fault?!
I think Cajun chefs could put a pretty good dent in the mollusk population.
bad mollusks. bad
I vow to defeat these mollusk invaders with ample stores of butter and garlic.
