Reply to We are MIT scientists studying past global environmental catastrophes (mass extinctions, etc.) and their relevance to modern-day climate change. Ask us anything! by mit_catastrophe

Hi, thanks for doing this! I have a couple of questions. :)

  1. What prompted you to study these topics in particular, and how do the conclusions you draw assist in combatting climate change in the present day?

  2. Would you say your research has made you more pessimistic or optimistic about the ways in which governments/international organisations tackle climate change? Are we doing enough, and if not, what is our biggest drawback in this endeavour?
