A similar cycle of volcanic activity and environmental change starting about 184 million years ago may have paved the way for the biggest of all dinos, long-necked sauropods, to lumber into dominance
Interesting that the species were so humidity loving. So much for time travel back and setting up a farm, it would be rained out.
Not to mention that giant astroid that ended the dinos and setup the mammals.
But we still have birds...

I mean, we hadn't built Miami yet. No one's saying life on Earth isn't resilient. It's the things we've made that are... built to tighter tolerances.

And, at some future time, they all come tumbling down and washed away. It’s pure pride that says what we have built is immutable. We could all be blown away in blink of an eye by an unseen asteroid. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…”

The Earth is fine, the people are f*cked.

This needs to be said more.
We might not be able to handle the effects of climate change. Man made or not, there will come a point when the Earth is done with us and some future civilization might dig us up and study who these two legged creatures were.

What is fascinating is a lot of the dinosaurs that we love in popular culture and science actually lived closer to the present day than some others. The T-Rex lived closer to humans than the Stegosaurus did to the T-Rex.
