To understand how specific ecosystems were affected by a large asteroid impact that led to the mass extinction of dinosaurs, a team of scientists has analyzed the microscopic remains of plants from this period. They found that local plant communities and ecosystems experienced a long-term shift towards fewer aquatic plants and an increase in terrestrial plants, including trees such as birches and elms. Changes in rainfall patterns during the extinction event were relatively minor and short-lived. [1] Weird thing life is. One’s death is another one’s life. Dinosaurs died. Plants thrived. Now plants die. And we thrive. Or so it seems. Until we die…
And with our last breath we will wonder…
(Why?)
And the world…
And with our last breath we will wonder…
(Why?)
And the world…
Will laugh.
And cry.
And thrive.
Whispering gently…
(That is why no one of you was truly alive)
