If these guys are right...then we must have been having a major climate change...hint: global cooling...that they could not have survived. The earth is simply not a continuous perfect machine.

The title does not accurately describe the article.

An extraterrestrial object that impacted the Earth near the Yucatan in Mexico 65.51 million years ago doomed the dinosaurs and 70 percent of the Earth's other species...

Think of the extraterrestrial object as a "Cosmic SUV".

The ones that survived gave rise to us.

While the mean annual temperature in North Dakota today is 43 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, during the warmest part of the warming episode, the mean annual temperature was from 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The North Dakota site was then at the same latitude as Quebec City, Canada, and not only palm trees, but alligators and turtles thrived too.

The K-T event must have shut down the automobile industry and fossil-fuel power plants that the dinosaurs were operating. I mean, how else do you explain the global warming that was going on before that?
