The age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago with an asteroid strike, not a prolonged period of climate change wrought by volcanic activity, according to new research

The city-size asteroid that slammed into Earth would have plunged the planet into a drastic winter, which would have lasted for years, thereby creating a world largely unsuitable for dinosaurs to live in. The new study has poured more cold water on the theory that massive volcanic eruptions in the Deccan Traps, an area that now sits in modern-day India, played a significant role in their demise.

"Instead of only using the geologic record to model the effect on climate that the asteroid or volcanism might have caused worldwide, we pushed this approach a step forward, adding an ecological dimension to the study to reveal how these climatic fluctuations severely affected ecosystems," said Alex Farnsworth, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Bristol and the co-lead author of the study, in a statement.

While the dinosaurs were ended by the asteroid let's not forget those that came before the dinosaurs in the Permian–Triassic extinction event were wiped out by accelerated climate change and the effects that come with it.

False theory. In which continent/location were the dinosaurs? If the asteroid was so big, where are it's remains ?

This won't be the only time climate change will be given more credit than it deserves.

This Network is full of fuckin’ dopes. 😂

We knew this. Are they suggesting that the asteroid did not change the climate of the world? Which is what the believed thought is?

Is it millions or billions? I’m confused.

Yes, I remember like yesterday. İt was the early hours of June 1st New York time when four giant asteroids slammed on Continental Americas, and 30 minutes later with an even bigger one hitting almost the same location. All life ended right there and then.

66 million years ago, an unnamed source reported that If you turn CNN off you’ll see reality 🙃 Disclaimer: Unnamed source asked to not be named, so in full compliance with MSM protocol we’ve kept unnamed source anonymous to protect their identity 🙃

We really need another asteroid to hit earth again. Time to start over again.

I bet dinosaurs didn’t get stupid coronavirus.
