Many of the severe effects would be local or regional in scale. The global effects would be due to the dust lofted into the atmosphere. The atmospheric effects of this dust would not be long-lived enough to cause extinctions in a global sense. Though it could certainly cause some extinctions among animals that only live in an area close to the impact. Several creationists are now publishing technical papers related to impacts and cratering, such as geologist Carl Froede, physics professors Don DeYoung and Danny Faulkner, S.R. Steele, and Thomas Fritzsche (minerologist).
