Doesn’t it matter if the meteor is stone or iron?
However, if the meteor was at just the right angle, at the right speed, and has the right composition and mass, it could pass on through the water and into the seafloor ... huge tsunami plus fireball throwing matter into the upper atmosphere.
Funny how that's never accounted for. An ocean strike would also create beaucoup water vapor, a much more potent global warming agent than CO2.
Solve globull warming...
Your arguments are “obtuse”...LOL
actually this is exactly the kind of stuff governments should be doing. The prime reason for the existence of governments is to protect their countries from extinction. We know from geological records that big asteroids and comets have hit the earth. Only now have we progressed to the point to actually be able to do anything about it. If action is taken enough in advance slight nudges of an asteroid could save us from extinction
Just require all airconditioners and refrigerators to use freon again, and sell aerosols with proper propellants. Get those ozone levels back up in no time.

And turn one falling object into two...

Can I be in charge of asteroid control? I’ll rule the world. Step out of line and I’ll go all Tunguska on your puny city!
Tweaking asteroids can go both ways, away, and toward, Earth. You want to be very cautious of who gets that power.
Footfall.
OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! AGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
