I was reading a few days ago about the big asteroid that (according to many) "wiped out" the dinosaurs.

I read that if it had struck just a littler earlier or later on that same day, it would have landed somewhere else instead of smack where it landed in what is now the Gulf of Mexico, and it would not have been quite as "hard" on the dinosaurs. Because there was a lot of sulfur or sulfur mineral in the area where it hit and that caused a lot of sulfate droplets to linger for better than a year afterwards, high in the atmosphere, and reflect a lot of sunlight back into outer space, causing global temperatures to drop, suddenly and severely.

That would have happened even if it hit some other place on earth, but the place where it hit had an abundance of sulfur, so the global temperature drop that followed was even more severe.

According to whoever originated that report.

So, what you're saying is we won't have to worry about global warming anymore.

HEY!!!!!!!!

Nobody woke ms up. I missed the apocalypse.

Slackers.

Sigh.... Well, there is always the next end of the world.

If there are humans on the planet that survive the "big chill out" after a major asteroid strike, which would keep global temperatures low for a year or perhaps a few years afterwards (based on what I've read), they would then be looking at likely global warming--not just warming up to where things were immediately before the asteroid, but warming back up to that same level and then beyond.
