Scientists believe that an asteroid that struck Earth over 2.2 billion years ago and created the Yarrabubba crater in Australia could have driven global warming. At the time of the collision, the planet was believed to have been encased in ice and researchers believe that it was the collision that began the global thaw. Climate change in Australia has caused global concern.
