A large asteroid colliding with the Earth would trigger a great cooling that might lead to some extinctions.

How can loss of Genetic Diversity can lead to extinction?

A species that is genetically diverse is more likely to survive in the event of a major change in it's environment, because of chance. A large swing in climate for instance, could entirely wipe out a species that was solely suited to a specific climate. However, if a portion of the species is more adaptable to a colder climate, and a portion is more adaptable to a warmer climate, even though a climate change would mean death for a large portion, a portion would be more likely to survive.
