the impact set off serious climate changes

Scientists don't think all the dinosaurs happened to be sitting under the asteroid when it struck. Instead, they believe that the impact set off serious climate changes all over the world.

Hi,
Does 'set off' in the above refer to "triggered" or "resulted in?" Thanks.
