There is a good deal of literature on this elsewhere....I'm not inclined to sift through an hour long Youtube history presentation to find ( or not) a "sound byte" that really proves nothing.
Critical thought and reading peer reviewed material works better for me.

Yes I am trying to get up to speed in this area. The video that I linked to was the first material that I had looked at on the subject but given it was out of Yale I felt it should have been reliable to a larger degree than claims offered up in Hancock type material.
And sorry I thought I noted where in the video to look so you would know where I got the idea re "exploding ice"...And I only offer this up to show that I did not pull the idea out of thin air and certainly not to prove any other point. If you go to 49 th minute you will hear him say what I said that I heard...it will be over in a minute.
And I do not take the opposite position to you when it comes to critical thinking or reading peer reviewed paper or whilst on the matter the scientific method. That lecture was the first I saw and after viewing it I began to think the claims re the sea level rise being evidenced in the ice cores was suspect given the limitations the lecturer in the posted video mentioned. I did say earlier that I was looking to find what was actually shown in the ice cores and after seeing that video backed off looking..other things to do..And I never got back to looking at more information.
In any event I still have not found any information where the ice cores for the period in question have been discussed by folk who are not pushing a particular barrow..ie an impartial scientific statement as to what the ice cores tell us about the sea levels around the period when the impact is alleged to have occurred.
Thank for your input re the ice cores as it now appears that evidence may indeed be available. Without getting carried away I have yet to establish the sea level rise if any...after all that claim is one that requires evidence ..the cores should be able to tell us what happened around that time I hope.
