Nice to say that, after all mankind has gotten itself to problems with nature in couple thousands years when dinosaurs ruled over hundred million years... and survived from couple changes.
Dr Norman MacLeod of the Natural History Museum in London is among a large group of scientists who are convinced the dinosaurs were already being driven to extinction by climate change long before the arrival of the KT impact, or impacts.

I read in a book Not By Fire but by Ice by Robert W. Felix that oil drillers in the Gulf had hit volcanic rock in the area that the meteor was supposed to have hit leading to the idea that what really happened there was the explosion of a massive underwater volcano. What would happen if a Yellowstone size event were to happen in the water? Would this heat the water to the extent that the increased evaporation would block out the sun for a great period of time resulting in an ice age and the deaths of the dinosaurs?

It wasn't just the dinos...
About 80% of all life was extinguished in a geological second...a true ELE (extinction level event)...many of which have occurred in Earth's past. .

The Urantia Book offers a view of the dinosaurs extincton some may find interesting. It isn't very spectacular, but interesting none-the-less.
