Were the Dinosaurs Really Wiped Out by an Asteroid?

I've been noticing in the last year how many have been backing away from the asteroid theory.

Now it seems as with this story that volcanoes are the culprit. Though I've read where volcanoes were just the jumping off point and that a few other factors came into play as well.

I believe one has to do with large amounts of methane being thawed by the warming from the volcanoes which led to a depletion of oxygen. Since Dinosaurs needed higher concentrations of oxygen than we do, to power their enormous weight, they simply suffocated.

It will interesting to see how far they go with the new theories. Until someone comes along and proves they were wiped out by a strange flu bug.

I've always thought YES they were and still do...
