On Earth, everything that is an equation needs to be balanced. If you heat the oceans, they will try to cool down. Similarly, if you add in all this methane and carbon dioxide, another gas needs to be removed to make room, so to speak. In this case, that gas was oxygen; as temperatures rose and plant and algal life died out, this vital gas was rapidly removed from all of life’s environments.
From the initial volcanic trigger, life was frozen, burned, overheated, corroded, and suffocated in a climate change nightmare.
