> If the world warms back to the saurian sauna for a few millions of years, maybe mammals will not be on top of the game anymore.

Yes! I've been saying this. Global warming seems like a given at this point, so instead of stopping it we should try to increase oxygen levels too and then stick Bombardier Beetle fire-breathing genes in back-bred Hatzegopteryxes. Those beasts had wingspans over ten meters, were apex predators, and were built like it. May as well get some dragons to look at…

Not new. Birds are theropods, same as T-Rexes. It's just a return to form.
