How BP might be the cause of the Apocalypse

I’ve never heard of this Helium (the publication, not the noble gas) but the headline is quite striking: “How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a ‘world-killing’ event.”

Key quote:

The bottom line: BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological Apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years.

They compare it to Permian–Triassic extinction event. You know, the one scientists affectionately nicknamed “the Great Dying”.

In that case? I’m going back to bed. And when I wake up? Real bacon instead of this turkey bacon malarkey.
