Sure, there aren’t any heat adapted mammals

Doesn't matter if there's no food or extremely scarce resources.

Losing the plankton in the ocean on top of losing vegetation would also cause oxygen problems, iirc.

One of the planet's mass extinction events was The Great Oxidation Event. Future lizard scientists will study our time period and coin it The Great Carbonisation Event!

Why would that be though? Last time there was a supercontinent it also supported large animals
