- 2.5 billion years ago, there was a planet whose atmosphere was mostly methane with very little oxygen, and whose oceans were so rich with iron that they bore a green tint. Then a disaster happened that so transformed its climate that nearly all life on the planet perished. And guess what—you're on that planet right now. http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=673& 39 comments reddit.com
