WHICH previous warm times?

Because I don't believe that the current species of mammals and birds
-- not sure about the corals -- actually did survive ALL of the
previous Warm Times that the planet has experienced.

There have been five great "Extinction Events" in the earth's history,
according to the evolutionary biologists, and I believe that at least
some researchers are saying that the very worst of them, back in the
Permian or thereabouts, was associated with a huge build up of
greenhouse gases and major changes in global temperatures.


You just made that up. Cite?
