Betcha asteroids killed off more species quicker than any passing temp shift or human activity did.
New Scientist link re impending doom:
— Kamchatkans and Venezuelans beware. A 20-million-tonne asteroid could be heading your way. Californians have even more reason to worry - the asteroid is more likely to hit the Pacific Ocean, triggering a tsunami that could devastate the west coast of North America.
That link may be having trouble, but here’s the basics. The United Nations is urged to come to our rescue! We’re doomed, I tell you!
Although the odds of an impact by this particular asteroid are low, a recent congressional mandate for NASA to upgrade its tracking of near-Earth asteroids is expected to uncover hundreds, if not thousands of threatening space rocks in the near future, former astronaut Rusty Schweickart said.
“It’s not just Apophis we’re looking at. Every country is at risk. We need a set of general principles to deal with this issue,” Schweickart, a member of the Apollo 9 crew that orbited the moon in March 1969, told an American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Francisco.
Schweickart plans to present an update next week to the UN Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space on plans to develop a blueprint for a global response to an asteroid threat.
Are we in a 1950s sci-fi movie? That guy’s spent too much time in outer space and needs to come down to Earth. The UN was panned in its cameo role in the Godzilla-King Kong crises and it’s only been downhill since then.
Protein Wisdom also cocks an eye at the “UN save us” proposal.
Samizdata says basically the same thing, only with bigger words.

If this asteroid smacks down on John Murtha, it would be worth the resulting planetary devastation.

PS: If Hillary and Obama were standing near Murtha, that would be gravy.

We’ll never see the one that gets us. The thing will have a period of thousands of years or be some random one just passing through the solar system.

Clever scientists. They’ve discovered that money does, indeed, grow on special grant trees and all that is required to harvest the money is a noise loud enough to frighten the tree into shedding its foliage.
What we need is a large ax.
