How come the researchers don't research the possibility that the soot coughed up by the asteroid impact blocked light from reaching Earth and led to drastic cooling? Temperatures in the dinosaur days were pretty high relative to now, so it doesn't seem far fetched to me that they died of cold, and not heat. This theory also explains why smaller animals survived, especially mammals (hair is a good insulator).
- yannis 17y agoThe cooling effect is more possible and can also account for extinctions in the oceans as well. After the Krakatoa eruption for years the world had a cooler climate.
- roqetman 17y agoActually they have researched the possibility; but they haven't found enough soot deposits to justify the theory.
