I think its strange that when theories about "What Killed the Dinosaurs" are presented, it's always framed as that theory was the only one in play. So far some of my favorites are:
1. Massive Firestorms caused by the impact
2. Dust causes Nuclear Winter scenario
3. Molten Glass Rain. Fine particles ejected into the upper atmosphere cool into glass beads, fall back down, superheat the atmosphere, and bake the surface.
And now oil soot cools the atmosphere. Why are these theories always exclusive. Multiple of these things could have happened, causing an initial massive die off from heat, and then a following slow die off caused by cooling.
