Actually no! The best hypotheses for me is that the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) occurred during the opening of the north Atlantic which produced numerous volcanic eruptions in the north Atlantic region under water that destabilised methane clathrates, releasing an enormous quantity of methane in the atmosphere. Measurements indicate that the carbon released during the PETM was depleted in carbon 13 just like the clathrates would be. However, diamonds are made from a deep source of carbon not depleted in carbon 13. So it cannot be the source of co2 that would have caused the PETM.
So this theory is actually supporting the Verneshot theory proppossed by Jason Phips Morgan. This theory explains that there is never occurred big asteroid impact events like Chixhulub, but the're was enormous kimberlite eruptions linked with flood basalts and gennerating for extension, mass extictions. I actually find more logic this theory than the asteroid impact theory
Thanks as always! As I have said on a previous video, I first heard of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum from PBS Eons and Sci Show. The climate of that time must have been truly sweltering! Due to the warm climate and the dispersal of the continents due the breakup of Pangea, sea levels were significantly higher. The Eocene started with the Earth's average temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius, but it ended with the average temperature dropping sufficiently to allow the current ice age to begin. This may be controversial, but the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum gives somewhat of a perspective on how rapidly we humans are artificially warming the climate nowadays! We are pumping greenhouse gases at a much higher rate than the rate at which greenhouse gases were pumped out at the peak of the Paleocene-Eocen Thermal Maximum!

I 100% agree. Lived in Kirkland Lake Northern Ontario for 10+ years and there is a range of kimberlite pipes @ 100-140 Mya I believe in the area close by, Diamond Lake and Crystal Beach on the Larder Lake streatch. The theory is the prior mountain range took about 100 Mya to wear aware, releasing the compressed carbon under the range that finally released. Cheers.
Now this is a video for our times. Release a vast quantity of carbon dioxide to get to the tipping point that leads to the release of methane from the ocean floor. What does that sound like? And if there were no copywrite laws, you could of included a snippet of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend at 1 point.
Keeping out the weird politics of the forming of the Diamond National Park (not its real name) in Arkansas, can you go into the geological reasons for the only large diamond area in the America's?
I'm not buying the methane release part. The timeframe needed to warm the deep ocean enough for a significant, continuous spike in methane release would exceed the 50,000 years of the thermal maximum, especially since the oceanic currents would have been even less prone to mixing than it is now.
If Kimberlite had 40% CO2 and caused a bunch of plinian eruptions along with the heating effect of so much CO2, don't you also get the cooling effect of all that atmospheric particulate? But then I guess the heating feedback loop is effective over a longer timespan than the eventual settling out of the particulate.
Interesting. I had assumed the diamonds in NWT were of the same origin as the ones in northern Ontario, really old kimberlite pipes that had finally eroded to the surface. These diamonds are almost entirely industrial grade, so it makes sense that the gem diamonds now coming out of the NWT are of a different origin. The P-E thermal maximum idea is interesting. What do they think caused all this stuff to suddenly break through some of the oldest and thickest continental crust on the planet?
The Northwest Territories straddles part of the Canadian shield but some regions aren't as dense or as old as the regions around Hudson's Bay, northern Ontario and Quebec. There is/has been periods geological activity in NWT and the Yukon related to rift zones and magma intrusions. I find this theory plausible and agree that this was the likely culprit for that period of warming.
@@matthewgillies7509 Thanks. I assumed from the satellite photo in the video that the deposit was on the shield, but probably I'm not able to distinguish recently glaciated shield terrain from recently glaciated non-shield terrain. I don't know much about the geology of the western part of the NWT.
@@b.a.erlebacher1139 Fair, I didn't learn much about northern Canada in my geography courses. But one of his more recent videos examines the topography of the Yukon and NWT area. It is worth checking out as I learned a few new things.
Likely due to the "Azolla event," where freshwater ferns colonized the entirety of the Arctic Ocean during that time (it was largely cut off from the rest of the oceans, and high precipitation allowed for a freshwater layer to form). They very effectively removed and subsequently buried carbon, since they did not decay once they died and sank to the ocean floor.
Why did volcanism occur there? It seems like a very odd spot for a volcano, even during the PETM it looks like that area was still far from any plate boundaries or hotspots.
Northern Ontario is pure Canadian Shield 3.2-2.7Bya, the split between Matachewan and Larder Lake is considered to be one of the first major faults. Many, many rare metals in the area.
BUT the planet was coved in ice, and volcanic eruption under the ice, may have trapped large amounts of gases that were suddenly released. Or the perfect storm a comet broke the ice layer causing the gas release. In other words I don't know what I am talking about thank you. stay safe ALL
It is actually not a new hypothesis. It was first stated in a paper by Petterson and Francis in 2013. I wonder if there are any new evidence for this or is it just old news.
I have…a really stupid question. My parents heard your voice when I showed them one of your Yellowstone videos(since we’re going there during our trip to Montana on the 12th of this month). And my dad is convinced that your voice is not real, that it’s AI generated. XD So stupid question is…is this your real voice?
Diamonds have a huge amount of carbon dioxide, trapped inside them, so it would make sense if diamonds are responsible for a huge rise in global temperatures. I haven’t watch the video, but my assumption is that when CO2 from diamonds is released likely through volcanic activity, it causes an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. I’m just speculating here since I haven’t even watched a video yet as I’m getting blasted by ads lol.
@@b.a.erlebacher1139 Yes, they do. But the resulting CO2 does not come from within the diamonds - it is formed when the carbon in the diamond combines with the oxygen in the atmosphere.
So, do you support this theory on the cause of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum?
Actually no! The best hypotheses for me is that the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) occurred during the opening of the north Atlantic which produced numerous volcanic eruptions in the north Atlantic region under water that destabilised methane clathrates, releasing an enormous quantity of methane in the atmosphere.

However, diamonds are made from a deep source of carbon not depleted in carbon 13. So it cannot be the source of co2 that would have caused the PETM.
Can volcanos release methane gas in addition to carbon dioxide, sulpher dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide?
Sounds plausible to me. It would be a very unusual and unfortunate event for organisms at the time, but cool to imagine!

@@petermiller4953 no, which is why they produce CO2 and water vapor instead, what methane breaks down into.
Of course it was Canada's fault. They have been apologizing ever since.
😂
I’m expecting Trudeau will stand up in the house of commons and ask for the worlds forgiveness and of course there will be lawsuits and depositions.
I just want to say I appreciate your emphasis that this is a theory rather than objective fact.

This is fascinating, but what created that concentration of kimberlite, and why did it all spume off in such a short (devastatingly short) timespan?

Particulates precipitate quickly while CO2 has a long life in the atmosphere.

wait 1100 billion tons of CO2 is insane right? 1000km3 co2 weights only like 1.8 billion ton which is VEI 8? or am I missing something here?
even if it is over the span of 10 years that would mean around an equivalent of 600+ VEI 8's.
@@StagnantMizuVEI 10!
@@StagnantMizu It actually happened in 10000 years, so not *that* frequent. But still, that's a lot of carbon in geologically short time.

Now you’ve whet my appetite for talking diamonds. Is it still unknown what makes pink ones pink?
And ..yes it makes perfect sense. So I support it. Just like if there were too much ice on earth it would still be quite cold.
Yes
That's rather analogous to human activity almost.

If you put the stones together then the diamonds inside will start to glow...
