And we all know that computer simulations are always accurate. Especially about climate.

Many scientists agree that an asteroid strike 65 million years ago wiped out the dinosaurs.

Sorry, but this kind of “scientific” statement, in the face of comet crashes seen on Jupiter that are larger than planet Earth, is pathetic....

Dude. I’m going to be pissed if this say it’s not a comet it was an asteroid. There’s probably a diff there, but not to me!

“Comet strikes are an unlikely cause of past mass extinctions on Earth, according to computer simulations.”
Based on quite incomplete information.
No one knows either the number of comets in the Oort Cloud, or how the perturbations work that sometimes cause them to fall towards the inner solar system.
What we do know is that they are some of the highest speed objects that might strike the Earth, and they’re impossible to predict or identify in advance. A few months (or at best, years) warning is all you get...
We also have no way of knowing about more exotic objects, like brown dwarfs or small black holes. One of those could wander into the system at any time as well.

They are exonerating the comets so that they can blame the extinctions on George W. Bush.

Thanks BGHater. The validity of the impact model came from evidence still in the ground. The (to appropriate a recent phrase) deniers have literally nothing to back up their claims.
