What killed the dinosaurs?

Dinosaur farts.

the bad news:

The team calculated the animals would have collectively produced more than 520m tons of methane a year - more than all today's modern sources put together.
It is thought these huge amounts could easily have been enough to warm the planet.
It is even possible that the climate change was so catastrophic that it caused the dinosaurs eventual demise.
The good news? It only took 100 million years for this to happen.
