no it was friggen tragic.
The series finale of Dinosaurs depicts the irresponsible actions of the dinosaurs toward their environment, and the ensuing Ice Age which leads to their demise. The episode "Changing Nature" begins with the failure of a swarm of beetles to show up and devour a form of creeper vine. Charlene discovers that Wesayso has constructed a wax fruit factory on the swampland that serves as the beetles' breeding grounds, causing the extinction of the species. Fearing a public relations fiasco more than any environmental threat, Wesayso quickly puts Earl in charge of an attempt to destroy the vines, which have grown out of control without the beetles to keep them in check. Earl proposes spraying the planet with defoliant, which causes the destruction of the vines, but also kills off all plant life on the planet.
Richfield assumes that the creation of clouds will bring rain, allowing the plants to grow back, and so decides to create clouds by dropping bombs in the planet's volcanoes to cause eruptions and cloud cover. The dark clouds instead cause global cooling, in the form of a gigantic cloudcover (simulating the effects of what the viewer would recognize as nuclear winter) that scientists estimate would take "tens of thousands of years" to dissipate. Later, Earl apologizes to his family for his actions. The episode ends with Howard Handupme as he finishes his broadcast, grimly saying "Goodnight" and "Goodbye" to the audience.
The episode was a marked change from the series' normal humor. "Changing Nature" merited a special parental warning in TV Guide's listings the week it aired, cautioning that its subject matter might frighten or disturb younger viewers.

This thread is great! It went from the threat of world ending nuclear war, to a silly dinosaur gif, back to the end of the world again! Coincidence? I think not, it's fate!

Russia always pushes the limit, testing how fast we respond and whatnot...we scramble our fighters, intercept, take pictures/videos, wait till they leave then we leave. Been happening for the longest time....
