The gradual cooling of the oceans ended the ice age.

How could a meteor cool anything?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Whatever happened to the asteroid that they were going to name after Trayvon Martin?????

[txhurl]

They throw up water or dirt, depending where they land, into the atmosphere, blocking the sun’s rays.

[editor-surveyor]

.
so you’re telling us that a meteor threw up debris sufficient enough to cool the ocean and end the ice age?

But then that same debris would preserve the ice too, would it not?

It hit the Ice Cap - per findings of meteor specific elements found all over the Northern Hemisphere - the meteor was calculated to be one mile diameter. Heating from the collision melted vast areas of the Ice Cap. This resulted in mega floods. 1000 years later another meteor of about the same diameter from the same Taurid Group hit the remnants of the Ice Cap, this time throwing vast amount of dust into the atmosphere dropping the temperature below the average during the Ice Age - this period is called the Younger Dryas. This is due to happen again sometime as the Earth passes through various sectors of the long-broken up comet's debris torus. These two event are postulated to have ended the previous civilizations on Earth - we see their structures in what 'modern' archeology calls Megalithic structures - none of which can be specifically linked to any known civilization other than by inference - a dubious proposition. See Göbekli Tepe, in Turkey built 12,000 years ago then buried.

Thanks, that answers the exact question I was asking about this story.

[Defiant]

LOL!

Technically speaking, the one from a week or so ago “buzzed” by, AFAIR.

First we had an asteroid whizzing by Earth.

Now this one is a close shave.

I guess Earth is the bathroom of the solar system.

Which explains the Democrat Party.

Well, duh! I heard it.

You mean 2008StSkittles?

The ice age was simply the result of the hot oceans that remained after super heated steam from “the fountains of the great deep” that caused the Genesis flood caused intense precipitation.

(just as hot ocean water now does in “el nino” cycles now in microcosm)

The existing flooded cities along the coasts were the result of the melting of the ice age glaciers as the oceans cooled, reducing precipitation.

This one is going to “hurtle past”

“Hurtle past” is OK, to NOT “hurtle past” is a problem.

[Verginius Rufus]

161,280 kilometers? It looks like someone took “100,000 miles” and converted it to metric.

[PIF]

Old and out dated information. Science moves on.

[editor-surveyor]

.
Physics is never out dated.

The fairy tales you offer were out dated the day they were dreamed up.

Hot oceans will continue to cause heavy precipitation, and cold oceans will always bring decreased precipitation.

Very basic.

[BenLurkin]

Good catch!

[PIF]

It is not the physics - its the geology, the chemistry - the oceans have little to do with catastrophic events like the very sudden end of the Ice Age or the onset of the Younger Dryas.

Geology and chemistry are not fairy tales!

There are many peer reviewed papers on the possible causes of these two catastrophes, none of the latest attribute ocean warming or cooling - all causes are external to the Earth. Find them on your own.

Esle you are simply another troll.
