Hour-long hailstorm may have caused 1,000-year freeze, say scientists
An hour-long hailstorm from space may have changed the climate of the Earth in 11,000 BC, leading to a freeze lasting more than 1,000 years, scientists say.

The catastrophe, caused by a disintegrating comet, wiped out large numbers of animal species and disrupted human cultures.
A new theory put forward by according to Professor Bill Napier, from the Cardiff University Astrobiology Centre suggests it occurred when the Earth strayed into a dense trail of fragments shed by a large comet.
Thousands of chunks of material from the comet would have rained down on Earth, each one releasing the energy of a one megaton nuclear bomb.

But at least he's well versed enough in hydrostatics to understand that putting all that buoyancy below the waterline results in an unstable hull, prone to capsizing, unlike the ignoramus martinet of an admiral.
That occurred to me, too. From the context is appears (but how can you be sure?) that he means a hail of meteorites.
That is one theory. Another theory is it was
caused by collateral damage from this:
Dogs and cats were living together! Lions and tigers an bears, oh my!
....”and the fountains of “the great deep” were opened up”. Genesis
I’ve been seeing a rash of these stories from scientists lately who aren’t necessarily Bible scholars citing evidences of “at least regional floods” or sudden coolings causing great deluges”, ect.
What are scientists discovering that has them being dragged kicking and screaming towards a biblical account of the Great Flood?
It sure looks like a possibility. Apparently the post-Clovis/YD boundary carbon layer is present in at least some of those features as well. I'm going to have to find out more about that.
So thousands (thousands? More like millions? Wouldn’t it take millions or even billions of ice chunks to freeze the earth?) of one-megaton nuclear explosions cooled the earth?
So now the AGW weenies will be advocating above-ground nuclear testing to defeat warming, right? Right?
Oh. I thought you were just lithping about the big, black beatht.
It would take anywhere between one and whatever. :’) Depends on the mass and velocity of the chunk or chunks.
what are those nuts in England smoking???
I can get better predictions from the drunks in Pershing Square.
Well, the styrofoam keeps them from sinking, but they really need a keel to keep them from capsizing.
I think the Congressman should sponsor a bill entitled:
An Act to Keep Islands on an Even Keel.
The act would provide a stimulus package for building keels under all U.S. territorial islands such as Hawaii, Virgen Islands, Samoa, Guam, etc. and the Dems could tell the public they were focused, as Pelosi said, on three letter words-—jobs, jobs, jobs.
As I understand this summary, which omits the "research," this guy is saying it wasn't a single strike, but the Earth wandering into the remains of a broken up comet that was the triggering event. Sorta like the Millennium Falcon going into the remains of Alderaan.
It really is a scandal that anyone doing this kind of research has to throw in an obligatory reference to the global warming hoax. I guess they have to do that to get funding.
Gee, doesn’t professor Napier give Firestone, et al any credit. Seems to me they were there first with a lot more.
Read the book by Firestone that Sunken Civ has posted here. It is fascinating and answers a lot of questions.
If you just needed a slug of really cold water, drain Lake Agassiz. It had to have happened sometime...
I sometimes let the faucet run until I get the coldest water up from the underground pipes, so’s I get a nice, cold drink, but isn’t draining Lake Agassiz taking it a tad too far??? :-))
I think they do it annually in Grand Forks...I was there for the flood of ‘79 and that was an impressive mess.
