Palaeoclimatic cycles and new glacial periods induced by the impact of extraterrestrial bodies

摘要

The consequence of "nuclear winter"induced by unclear war and climatic catastrophe induced by extraterrestrial impact were widely studied for fear of the potential danger of the basic nuclear war (the total explosive equivalent 5 000 Mt TNT). Using zero-dimensional energy balance model authors reported the short-term climatic effect induced by six huge Cenozoic bolide-impact events (65, 34, 15, 2, 4 1.1, 0.73 MaBP).
