Scientific paper
Evidence for a causal relationhip between global extinctions and bolide impacts is reviewed. Results support the scenario of massive leaching of Sr-87 (found in high abundance at the K/T boundary) from continental rocks during a deluge of acid rain, and the occurrence of an extended period of greenhouse-effect-related high temperatures produced by the partial transfer of dissolved CO2 from the oceans to the atmosphere and the CO2 formed by a global conflagration. The probability that a supernova occurred within 5 pc of the sun during the last 10 to the 9th years is only 0.06.
