Massive Asteroid Impacts Show No Long-Term Climate Change
Two massive asteroid impacts, one in what is now Chesapeake Bay 35 million years ago and another in Russia 25,000 years prior, surprisingly caused no long-term climate change, despite creating huge craters and immediate devastation, as revealed by analysis of foraminifera fossils.
