What Happened to the Dinosaurs?

9. Climate Change?

One thing we hear a lot about these days is climate change. We’re even privy to being able to see just how climate change is affecting the Earth. After all, as well as the hole in the ozone layer, our polar ice caps are now melting. If only we could ask the dinosaurs, who very well could have succumbed to this themselves. Climate change is one of science's more gradual theories for how the dinosaurs might have wound up extinct. However, there are also theories that climate change was even responsible for how well they flourished during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
