No, because of a catastrophic event, namely a meteorite impact. Please do not bring up this fallacious argument about the advantages of a warm world. It is advantageous for everyone who is born into already stable conditions in such a world. Then life flourishes. But the path to that, especially since it is geologically almost unprecedentedly fast, is marked by upheavals, which those who live in these interesting times have to manage. ( Disclaimer: It is of course true that a completely ice-free, warmer world, after the adaptation phase, is richer in species and more "productive". But that practically does not concern the corpses that pave the way there. )Are the dinosaurs perhaps only dead because temperature and CO2 concentration massively declined and the ecosystem at that time therefore massively lost "productivity"?
