What I find most interesting is the claim that volcanoes caused the hot/dry climate, but later volcanoes made it rain.
It's also interesting that the speaker claims it was CO2 that caused the hot climate while most geologic and ice core climate proxies indicate that increases in CO2 levels follow and lag behind rising temperatures.

So, if it's true that CO2 (not "carbon") warms the climate, the moisture would be locked up in the atmosphere, which would need to cool down to get another wet intermezzo. |
