Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Research shows how cosmic impact sparked devastating climate change

“Imagine living in a time when you look outside and there are elephants walking around in Cincinnati,” Tankersley says. “But by the time you’re at the end of your years, there are no more elephants. It happens within your lifetime.”

Tankersley explains what he and a team of international researchers found may have caused this catastrophic event in Earth’s history in their research, “Evidence for Deposition of 10 Million Tonnes of Impact Spherules Across Four Continents 12,800 Years Ago,” which was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

This research might indicate that it wasn’t the cosmic collision that extinguished the mammoths and other species, Tankersley says, but the drastic change to their environment.

“The climate changed rapidly and profoundly. And coinciding with this very rapid global climate change was mass extinctions.”
