drauma

I am a worker, a tombstone mason, anxious to pleace
averyburies and jully glad when Christmas comes his once ayear. You
are a poorjoist, unctuous to polise nopebobbies and tunnibelly
soully when 'tis thime took o'er home, gin. We cannot say aye
to aye. We cannot smile noes from noes. Still. ....

where in the waste is the wisdom?

...
Say it with missiles then and thus arabesque the page.

...And, speaking anent Tiberias and other
incestuish salacities among gerontophils, a word of warning
about the tenderloined passion hinted at. Some softnosed
peruser might mayhem take it up erogenously as the usual case of
spoons, prostituta in herba plus dinky pinks deliberatively
summersaulting off her bisexycle, at the main entrance of curate's
perpetual soutane suit with her one to see and awoh! who picks her
up as gingerly as any balmbearer would to feel whereupon the
virgin was most hurt and nicely asking: whyre have you been so
grace a mauling and where were you chaste me child? Be who,
farther potential? and so wider but we grisly old Sykos who have
done our unsmiling bit on 'alices, when they were yung and
easily freudened, in the penumbra of the procuring room and
what oracular comepression we have had apply to them! could
(did we care to sell our feebought silence in camera) tell our very
moistnostrilled one that father in such virgated contexts is not
always that undemonstrative relative (often held up to our
contumacy) who settles our hashbill for us and what an innocent
allabroad's adverb such as Michaelly looks like can be suggestive
of under the pudendascope and, finally, what a neurasthene
nympholept, endocrine-pineal typus, of inverted parentage with a
prepossessing drauma present in her past and a priapic urge for
congress with agnates before cognates fundamentally is feeling
for under her lubricitous meiosis when she refers with liking to
some feeler she fancie's face. And Mm. We could. Yet what need
to say? 'Tis as human a little story as paper could well carry,.....

Climate

The most extreme climate event of the modern era (the Cenozoic—65 Ma to the present) was the

Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum, which occurred at around 55 Ma. [1]

Apparently, deep-sea temperatures were warming gradually when methane hydrates (ice containing CH4) in seafloor sediments melted and belched massive amounts of CH4 into the atmosphere. [2] Addition of this greenhouse gas to the already high levels of CO2 (approximately 0.2%) triggered a
global warming of 5°C to 7°C over about 10,000 years. [3] Recovery was slow, taking over 100,000 years from the onset of the event.

Support for this interpretation derives from the gradual decline in ¹⁸O and ¹³C values during the Paleocene (evident in drill core samples from deep-sea bed sediments), interrupted by a precipitous drop in both measures;
the drop in ¹⁸O values reflects a temperature spike,
whereas that in ¹³C values reflects that the CH4 released from the seafloor was enriched in the lighter isotope, 12C.

The two other major climatic deviations that occurred during the modern era were
global cooling events, indicated by
positive shifts in ¹⁸O values. [4]

The first of these (the
Oi-1 Glaciation) involved the sudden growth of ice sheets on Antarctica at about 34.0 Ma (the Eocene–Oligocene boundary). This event inaugurated 400,000 years of glaciation and caused worldwide shifts in the distribution of marine biogenic sediments and an overall increase in ocean photosynthetic productivity (thereby increasing ¹³C).


The second climatic deviation (the
Mi-1 Glaciation) was a brief but intense glacial maximum that occurred at about 23 Ma (the Oligocene–Miocene boundary). By the end of Mi-1, ocean productivity (and ¹³C values) had again increased, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations had diminished to less than 0.03%.


The Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum, Oi-1, and Mi-1 events precipitated the loss of certain organisms and accelerated speciation of others. Of particular note are the
extinction of benthic protozoans (single-celled animals who lived in sea or lake bottoms) at the Thermal Maximum,

the appearance of baleen whales and decline of broadleaf forests at the Oi-1 Glaciation,

and the extinction of Caribbean corals at the Mi-1 Glaciation.

Although the isotope records and other geological evidence indicate climatic variation throughout the modern era, including numerous glacial and interglacial periods, no other events approach in magnitude the Thermal Maximum, Oi-1 Glaciation, or Mi-1 Glaciation.


So: Cold -> More ocean photosynthesis (dissolved gas? dust from deserts? or hot oceans = less life ??
Less broadleaf forests
