99. Abundant Food, Warm Climate. Same as item 70 on page 288.
100. Yedomas and Loess, Frozen Muck, Vertical Compression, Suffocation. The meteorite theory does not explain why mammoths, yedomas, and loess are related, why yedomas contain so much carbon, where so much muck originated, why muck has sometimes buried forests, why at least some of these huge animals suffocated, or why Dima and Berezovka are compressed vertically.
101. Rock Ice. The meteorite theory might explain why Type 1 ice melted and allowed mammoths to sink into icy bogs, but Type 3 ice is not explained.
102. -150°F. This theory tries to explain a sudden warming trend. It does not explain why temperatures went suddenly in the other direction to -150°F.
103. Animal Mixes. A sudden warming at the end of the Ice Age might have caused some animals “to blunder to their deaths in icy bogs.”173 It does not explain why this happened to so many different types of animals that are quick, surefooted, or mobile (such as birds).
104. Other/No Burial. The rapid jump in atmospheric temperature required to melt permafrost to a depth necessary to bury 13-foot-tall mammoths would have incinerated their bodies.
