大概是一次冰河时代导致了这场大灭绝。南半球表面形成的一个巨大的冰盖引起了全球气候剧变,海平面剧变下降,导致海水中化学成份变得混乱。
An ice age has been blamed for the extinctions - a huge ice sheet in the southern hemisphere caused climate change and a fall in sea level, and messed with the chemistry of the oceans.

而且我关心三巨头更因为他们对天天破坏我们脆弱的环境,融化我们的两极冰盖负的责任比谁都大。
And I care about what happens with the Big 3 because they are more responsible than almost anyone for the destruction of our fragile atmosphere and the daily melting of our polar ice caps.
