| Summary: | The story behind Dr. Gerta Ke ller's world-shattering scientific discovery that dinosaur extinction was NOT caused by asteroid impact, but rather by a series of volcanic eruptions on the Indian peninsula, a discovery that highlights today's existential threat of greenhouse gasses and climate change-and one that sparked an all-out war waged by the male scientific establishment Professor Gerta Keller is at the center of what has been called the nastiest feud in science, a contentious debate popularly known as "The Dinosaur Wars" over what triggered the fifth mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous Era sixty-six million years ago. Dinosaurs have enthralled us for generations, and the question of what caused their demise is more relevant than ever, as humankind confronts the paroxysms of an imperiled planet and the possibility that we may become the dinosaurs of the sixth extinction. |
