“The Comet strike ushered in the Younger Dryas Period which was even colder than the Ice Age and lasted another 1000 years when another part of the comet cloud struck earth and ended the cold and began the present warming period we are in geologically.”
Pardon my iggernunce, but why does one strike make it cold and the next make it warm?

Confusing right? The first event struck the ice cap in the vicinity of the Great Lakes an caused temps to plummet from all the fires whose as rose to make a long period of what we would call a “nuclear winter”.
The second, a 1000 year later, ended the Younger Dryas by possibly shattering a ice blockage of the Gulf Stream (this is just a scenario, as it cannot be proved at this time, but is a likely conjecture). Releasing the Gulf Stream warm ocean currents thawed the shores of the Atlantic as it does to this day
