Isn't it always?

global warming or sea level changes were responsible

Yada,yada,yada. What evidence was there that global warminig took place at this time??? From what I've read evidence points to global cooling.

That's nothing new. I have for years worked with unethical dinosaurs.

Another dream story. This is becoming entertaining.

INTREP

Obviously, the samples should have been divided into sets, labelled, and distributed to the investigating parties from the wellsite, or the nearest shipping point. Sheesh! We do this on oil wells all the time.

Point two: A thriving plankton population does not rule out a massive die-off in terrestrial metazoans, but could result from the increase in nutrients released by the impact. While this might be good for relatively basic aquatic organisms, the same impact could be catastrophic for vertebrate lifeforms and the plants which ultimately form the base of their food chain. It would not take a hundred years of darkness to cause mayhem, ecologically, only a few critical months of growing season.

If there were a major nuclear winter effect, some evidence of glaciation occuring somewhere at the K-T boundary should be present.

I find the 'study' results inconclusive for determining whether or not the impact killed the dinosaurs. They only deal with plankton.

The dinosaurs died because George Bush did not support the Kyoto Treaty on Global Warming. :-) which can be directly linked to Chad Fraud in Florida by the Demoncrats. Thus in reality the Dinosaurs died because of Al Gore's campaign. :-)

I can't wait to see what Ross has to say on the subject. ;^)
