Actually that is what I am trying to do research for my PhD program especially for the relationship between anthropogenic climate change and global biodiversity. From the fossil records, it is concluded almost most mass extinction such as Devonian, Permian, and Cretaceous (meteorite impact is probably just a trigger ) as well as ecological abruption such as PETM in the history is correlated to rapid global warming and biogeochemistry change. It will be of great use if we understand the disturbance of the pass and compare with modern time to understand how human actually created those factors that will lead to the sixth mass extinction.
