as a retired cab driver, i find this theory far-fetched. seriously, how could an asteroid the size estimated by the crater at chixalub have totally decimated a species the world over …i mean, wouldn’t krakatoa have had more effect? if indeed this is the case, then we need to focus more – or equally, anyway – on dodging asteroids than global warming.

I theorise that further atmospheric damage occured when the force of the asteroid impact was transmitted through the Earth, causing the Deccan Traps rift, releasing vast amounts of lava and gases.
