“...and it’s a real possibility some 2400 years from now, it would mark the largest mass extinction our world has seen in hundreds of millions of years.”
TRUMP’S FAULT!
Fer Pete’s Sake - they can’t predict the WEATHER with any accuracy for more than a day out! I’m certainly NOT going to lose sleep over what MAY BE happening in space 2,400 YEARS from now.
A giant asteroid striking the sun, now that would
be something to see. I’d trade my Pan-galactic google
blaster for something like that, that’s real hard Rock!
What? We can’t blame this on global warming?
Wait, wait,......
I know it’s because Trump pulled out of the Paris agreement.
You’re right, it is Trump’s fault!
Modern astronomy seems able to predict when a comet will come within the vacinity of Earth making a hit possible. But the Earth is a tiny target in that vacinity so a hit is very unlikely.
That is wise.
However at some point in the future odds are we will get hit. So it is important that we figure out a way off this dirt ball and on to another one. Ideally, several other ones.
