(Natural News) Recent findings published in the journal Science Advances refute the claim that the Younger Dryas — a period of abrupt cooling in the Northern Hemisphere — was caused by a meteorite impact. Instead, the study shows that debris from intense volcanic eruptions in the Northern Hemisphere blanketed the atmosphere, deflecting sunlight and cooling Earth. The researchers were reluctant to […]

(Natural News) Meteorites taken from the Thorsberg quarry in Sweden suggest that violent collisions occurred in space about 470 million years ago, flinging rapidly traveling meteorites toward Earth. Birger Schmitz of Lund University in Sweden is leading the research on the meteorites aged millions of years old. His team’s findings, published in the journal Nature, show that the meteorites hold […]

(Natural News) Sediment cores taken from White Pond in South Carolina show that an extraterrestrial collision may have triggered an abrupt change in the Earth’s climate 12,800 years ago, said archaeologist Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina.  About 14,500 years ago, Earth’s climate began to shift from glacial to interglacial, characterized by warmer temperatures. However, partway […]
