Scientists have described the comet that almost killed the Earth

Ученые рассказали о комете, которая чуть не убила Землю Researchers believe that this provoked global warming.

The journal Science published an article in which scientists described the fall of the comet an impressive 56 million years ago, which probably would cause the death of living organisms on Earth.

Researchers believe that this provoked global warming. In the discussions of scientists you can hear the relationship of the disaster of falling from high temperature Paleocene-Eocene thermal chaos.

Simultaneous events fall-warming are considered to be mutually bound with a minimum of abstract accidental and instantaneous release of carbon dioxide circulating in the atmosphere. The prehistoric model of the PETM now scientists have used as an analogue to analyze the flowing of current climate models in the development processes of the atmosphere. Temperature “pasludinasanas” era of the period were inflated with today’s 5-8 degrees, which planet has bloomed exotic tropical garden, with free ice poles.

In the flora and fauna observed order of the odd, sometimes inexplicable changes, which geologists in disputes between a moving jigsaw puzzle facts with eruptions or a lot of other geological surprises of the planet. Schaller with colleagues, expanding the array of key facts with the studied Eocene sediments in new Jersey, suddenly confirmed the story of the comet and the miracle of planetary warming.

They found the key-particles, that the case presented to comets and asteroids to the Earth at that time — microtektites with microcrystal allosterically forms from melting of rocks in meaudre from space. It was the comet of the Eocene with a mass of organic matter (hydrocarbons) and carbon burned at a meeting with the immersion in the atmosphere and a gift from combustion CO2 global thermostat, including the implementation of the PETM scenario.

At the same time, geologists Charles Langmuir and Gerald Dickens with his volcanic theory of events, while their opponents have not found the right size crater under a suitable comet, expressed his doubts about the Association of the comet and warming.
