Now, if you have an impact into land, well, now what happens? Well, impact into land, you're going to eject dust. will inject large amounts of dust into the atmosphere that will circulate around. It'll also produce primary fires at the point of impact. Then the fallback debris will create a whole bunch of secondary fires.
So you end up with, like there's evidence that 10 to 20% of all the biomass on earth burned up at the Younger Dryas. That puts a lot of soot into the atmosphere. So between dust and soot, you're now increasing the opacity of the atmosphere. And to me, that is a likely explanation for this sudden plunge in temperature that was associated with the Younger Dryas.

And then that has to clear out after a period of time. Now, what's interesting, though, is if you have an impact into the ocean, It's going to inject large amounts of water vapor. This is a greenhouse gas, the most effective greenhouse gas. So you're going to have a short-lived runaway greenhouse effect.

Additionally, if you have a multi-impact event and some of those impacts are into land, you've got now particulate matter injected into the atmosphere. And that particulate matter provides the nuclei for raindrops. You know when they do...

You know, by engineering and they're trying to create rain and they silver chloride and whatever it is that they dump into the atmosphere because that provides a nucleus and then the moisture in the atmosphere will accrete around that nucleus and rain out.

So you're going to get the same effect if you have a lot of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere, along with water vapor, you now have the recipe for hellacious rainstorms. And I think that that could explain why we have major evidence for mega floods that are not geographically located where they could have been direct meltwater.

And I've got some, if Ryan goes back to the, we'll just do like a quick. run through and you'll see some examples if you go back to my PowerPoint show Ryan okay so now this is kind of where we left off the slideshow these are the giant current ripples in Montana and showing the current flow this was I think I'm about 2,500 feet up when I took this picture So go to the next slide, Ryan.

You can see how extraordinary these are. I mean, there's like actually, let's see. There's a farm down there. There's a couple of farms down there that you can barely see. So yeah, those hills in the distance were pretty much overtopped by the water. And this is a five-mile wide, the water was 1,400 feet deep. Okay, go on. Then this is in Washington.
