Dinosaurs died from sudden temperature drop 'not comet strike', scientists claim

I read this the other day...puts a whole new spin on things, doesn't it?

i know it wasn't a meteor or whatever they say...


they were removed so that the Human could be put here.

It was a magnetic Pole Reversal.

heres how it happenned

dinosaurs caused global warming - global warming increases asteroid meteorite strike rate - asteroid strike then nuclear winter and dinosaur deaths...!

Shouldnt need to tell you over and over again.

Global warming ALWAYS caused by primitve life ... !

Global warming also increases volcanic activity .. INCLUDING super volcano eruptions. Watch how they STEAL my barins..!

i hate to say it to you but i completly disagree with you, global warming somehow sucks in asteroids? the simple answer is nibiru, i think that with all these mass extinctions and the increase in how ripidly they happen are because the brown dwarf is getting slowly sucked into our sun, so the orbit is decreased greatly every rotation and will eventualy merge with or destroy our sun.

Global warming is a scam and doesn't exist.

Actually recently scientist groups came to the conclusion that is was, in fact, an asteroid that would have wiped them out.. that's the official word now. Of course, that was the trigger.. the event would have caused, among other things, a global "nuclear winter", killing much of the large life, if the firestorms from the blasted molten rock raining from the sky didn't get em..

Good times.

But wouldn't a comet impact not throw several tons of biomass into the atmosphere, resulting in a massive temperature drop?

Exactly.. that's a symptom, not the cause, even if it was a supervolcano and not a meteorite (at that particular incident, supervolcanos were involved elsewhere in different eras)

Nobody has ever claimed that an asteroid strike was the only cause of the dinosaur's extinction. The theory is that after an impact, drastic changes in the environment, caused by that impact, wiped the dinosaurs out. They know there was an impact around that time. Maybe there were volcano eruptions as well. All of this blocked out the sunlight and caused temperatures to go lower than dinosaurs could survive in.

You guys ever hear of the KT boundary? Its an inch or so of soil that tells the story of 65 million years ago. This inch of soil is high in irridium and is located over most of the world...HOWEVER its highest concentrations are in Mexico where a HUGE crater exists at the edge of the penninsula there.

This Asteroid caused the crater, and the KT boundary... but it ALSO caused the sun to be blocked out for months if not years, which caused extreme global cooling.

So yes, most dinos died from global cooliing, HOWEVER this was a result of the Asteroid impact.

Interestingly... The Deccan Trapps in India is a Huge Supervolcano that had a huge release during this time, however most evidence suggests that it was a lava spewing event rather than an eruption.

Dinosaurs died in The Flood, they where buried in sediment, that's why we find them all over the world.
