Did asteroid that hit Australia help thaw ancient 'snowball Earth'?

WASHINGTON - Scientists have identified Earth’s oldest-known impact crater, and in doing so may have solved a mystery about how our planet emerged from one of its most dire periods.

“Looking at our planet from space, it would have looked very different,” said isotope geology professor Chris Kirkland of Curtin University in Australia, one of the researchers in the study published in the journal Nature Communications. “... You would see a white ball not our familiar blue marble.” The planet descended into one of its two primordial “snowball Earth” periods 2.4 billion years ago amid a rise in oxygen in an atmosphere formerly dominated by methane and carbon dioxide. The asteroid, estimated at 4-1/2 miles wide, landed at Yarrabubba in the state of Western Australia, coinciding with the end of the deep freeze.

Yeah right...the climate prophets just don’t want to admit that the climate changing is a natural occurrence so they concoct this crap to explain it.

Volcanic activity can cause craters to form. Volcanoes are found on other planets. Dents form with compression deformation. Land mass and Mountain elevation. Rock formation? The elements? . All the elements exist across the entire Universe. Fossil fuels?

Snowball Earth comes from confirmation of Equatorial Ice but to what extent? Maybe Earth had a much different tilt then so could be a reversal between tropic and polar climates?

Australia as we know it didn’t exist back then, there was a super continent going on called Pangea. Tectonic plates move about, still are today.

no no no

So cool!!

really sci-fi stuff! the likes of which go straight to video

Why? Did it turn the central heating on?

Well if it did contribute to GlobalWarming then it is evil and must be stopped! That’s what we are all supposed to say, right?

Yes. 🌏✌😎🇪🇺🌐
