Or maybe the Chixulub event did not wipe out the dinosaurs. This event is alledged to be bigger and yet did no or little damage on a plantary scale? hmmmm, something does not cumpute.

There is some indication that it triggered a major volcanic event - the centuries long basaltic flow that created the Deccan traps - enough lava flowed to pretty much cover India to a depth of a mile.

Lots of ash, dust, CO2 and sulfur dumped into the atmosphere. Major global warming and acid rain...
