"Analysis of charcoal and pollen records from around 13,000 years ago showed no evidence of continental-scale fires the cometary impact theory suggests."
Is it possible for comet to cause "continental-scale fires"?
And aren't we talking about a period in which there was a fair amount of glaciers over most of the continent?
And addition suppose the comet hit during the winter- and it was similar to this year's winter in which most of the continent had snow cover.
You would think some of these geniuses would notice that during the winter, forest fires are a rather subdued problem.
But even if the impactor hit during the fire season, and hit at the right angle and location, I'm not not sure it could cause "continental-scale fires" nor how you would distinguish this comet caused continental scale fire from say a ten or 20 year period of natural forest fires.
