That’s pretty cool. It’s fun to see how the Earth has changed over the periods.

Navigation maps of Gondwanaland? How would those be useful…?

Time-traveling Cruise ships. We can have tourists ruin other entire geological eras!

And here it is 0 million years ago, right before the Post-anthropocene Extinction Event

the signs of the coming are obvious now; europe-wide drought like never occurred before; in berlin, just for example, it rained about 10 days since mid-april and its the hottest period in germany between april to juli ever known. its becoming finaly kinda real and scary. Im pretty sure we are already in a runaway and the 2°C-limit is just wishfull thinking and everybody in the climatescience-comunity knows it. 4°C till 2100 seems almost certain, and that means fucked up beyond repair, plain and simple.
