   So your argument is that a 100 million megaton impact killed   
   the dinosaurs.   
      
   Listen, and take notes:  Mammals survived. Mammals. The problem   
   wasn't heat. In fact, it would have caused a "Nuclear Winter"   
   on an off-the-charts scale. The dinosaurs that weren't killed   
   by the impact starved to death. Period.   
      
   A similar thing happened to archaic humans albeit on a smaller   
   scale, when Toba exploded. You had fire everywhere, lava but   
   what devastated humans was the global winters followed by a   
   thousand-years-plus cold period.   
      
   Yes it took more than a thousand years for the climate to   
   recover from the eruption of Toba...   
      
   And another similar thing happened more than a thousand   
   years AFTER the last glacial period (what you call an ice   
   age) ended:  The Younger Dryas Cooling.   
      
   Again, more than a thousand years before the earth clawed   
   back the temperatures lost...   
      
   NOAA insists that the Younger Dryas cooling was caused by   
   some lame "Ice Dam" theory. Everyone else says it was an   
   impact.
