Wowser, I can't get my head around that; whatever could have caused it? An asteroid, maybe? Anyone got any other explanation, or is it just more fake news? Or no news, according to which way you want to look at it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46181450
https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/15/europe/greenland-impact-crater-intl/index.html "It was likely formed when a half a mile (800 meter) wide iron meteorite struck northwest Greenland less than three million years ago. It was then covered in ice, hiding it from view, NASA said."
The YouTube glossed over what happened to the ice that was there. How much of it boiled off? Did this have an impact on the weather? What about the dust that would have been ejected? Did that cause weather changes? The BBC article says it might have caused a blimp in the weather.
Your quote distinctly states causal, and is not time-related. Why the hell do you keep defending them ffs? Is it some weird kind of denial?
Nope, I think you're read it wrongly ...can be read to say that there is doubt about the cause, the timing, or both. For example if I know that my postman is called Tony (in fact he is), if I were to say: I could be querying the time.
I took 2 minutes out of my day to find the original paper: http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/11/eaar8173 It's clear from the paper that: The cause is in no doubt The timing is in doubt
Yep, there is always, always room for doubt in a case like this. I think one of the big questions is what, exactly, impacted the site. Estimating its material and size when you don't even have access to the crater for direct study makes it very tough to be certain. I saw they were sampling deposits carried out from under the ice by a stream.
I whacked it into https://impact.ese.ic.ac.uk/ImpactEarth/index.html The effects are not global catastrophe, although it would be a bad day lol. Effects are considered to be less than the year without summer volcano. It's not really very big. Seafloor is also littered with impact craters which we can't confirm due to erosion. Craters don't last long under the sea.
