Large meteorite impacts are a significant forcing agent for climate on Earth. Although they are rare now, they were more common early in Earth’s history. These, as well as unusual volcanism (e.g. very large hot spot volcanoes like the one that created the Deccan traps) can have a very important influence on global climate. Compare the effect and timing of these two forcing agents on climate.
