The impact likely destabilized a large portion of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Could this have been the outflooding of giant Lake Agazziz (sp?) which I understand happened about the same time?

Doing a bit of summary research on this "Younger Dryas" phenomenon and noticed your absurd comment re comet (non)explosions. If you are as scientifically astute as you claim to be, then how do you discount the explosive impacts of Comet Shoemaker-Levy on Jupiter?

I have long thought that there was simply no chance man could wipe out the mammoth.

Hell, you could have put twenty times as many American Indian natives on the plains, and they would have barely made a dent in the bison herds.

It took two things they didn’t have.
Horses.
And guns.

Man making mammoths extinct?
Dream on.

I'm sure your research is impeccable, but I have no idea what you could be referring to. Please provide me with a link.
