But when will it push back at you? Before or after it has triggered a mass extinction event?

There is evidence that there have been multiple mass extinction events in the planet's history, some of which may have been caused by the earth getting too hot or too cold.

Could you give me an example or two of such mass extinction events which may have been caused by temperature changes? I would like to think about your point in context.
