More than 90% of all species alive at the time may have gone extinct during the end- Permian extinction.

Experts say extreme El Niños caused wild swings in the climate, killing off forests and many land animals.

They found that the area of warm water during the Great Dying was much larger than today and therefore had a bigger impact than today .

As CO2 levels rose at the end of the Permian era, these El Niño events got stronger and lasted longer, the team’s models suggest.

In the sea, animals easily easily migrate to avoid the warming temperatures, which is why marine extinctions happened later when global warming became more intense.

By the peak of the extinction, the temperature during El Niños was up to 4C (7.2F), with each event lasting more than a decade .

The Permo-Triassic mass extinction, although devastating, would ultimately see the rise of Dinosaurs becoming the dominant species thereafter.
