Same computer models they use to back up Global Warming Myths.

So, just where did it hit if they know so much? Or, are they guessing again?

Of course they’re guessing.

It’s total supposition wrapped up in a veneer of pseudo-scientific frou-frou.

Grab them by the nose and kick them in the butt as Patton said in the movie.

Like I always say, they had an army of T Rexes to save them but the best they could muster was small arms.

Alligators, Sea Turtles, Parrots, honeybees living in and around the Gulf of Mexico survived at ground zero while Dinosaurs around the world went extinct.

Suuurrreee, sounds believable

The Chicxulub crater on the Yucatán peninsula of Mexico. Try to keep up.

My thoughts exactly! How do they know what the hydrocarbon of the earth was BEFORE the event? The impact likely liquefied the earths crust in a certain area and superheated and ignited the oxygen in the atmosphere.

They have no idea what they are talking about and can speculate at best. Note that EVERYTHING didn't die. BUT everything needs sunlight and vegetation. I'm sure if they can get more money they can come up with other interesting questions to answer and problems to solve.

A lot of meteors are carbonaceous chondrites. A HUGE lump of coal.

I often thought about what it would be like had the Buffalo been herds of the 1700s been preserved. Can you imaging a 15 million head heard 50 miles long and 20 miles wide crossing I-80?

The planet’s gravity had to be about a third of what it is today for the dinosaurs to live. In today’s gravity they would all collapse and die. No land animal can be larger than an elephant. So, if geological dating is correct (a big “if”), then the Earth’s gravity increased significantly sometime around 65M years ago, and then again when the giant mammels disappeared.

Well, as Enrico Fermi said to Robert Oppenheimer during the Manhattan Project that ended WWII, “This is superb physics”.

Thus, certain things do get done. And we do know a little about a lot.
