If the dinosaurs had invested more on their space program and less on their SUVs and lame liberal social programs (that didn't work) they'd still be here today.
Because it’s there.
First, why was this not placed in Breaking News where it belongs?
Second, this is obviously fake news because it does not end with the obligatory and mandatory scientific observation, “more research and funding is needed.”
Third, they got the number of years wrong. It was 300 million LAST YEAR. This year it is 300,000,001. Obvious math error. Just careless.

It is our own fault, maybe we need to think about why the asteroids don’t like us.
Glowbull Warming - it has to be the cause afterall, anything that happens or even could happen that is bad, is caused by this.
A brown dwarf swept by waaaaay out past Quora and nudged the orbits of stuff in the Oort cloud? Maybe Kuiper belt too. It would take a long time for those nudged orbits to get here.
That would be about the time the planet that use to orbit between Mars and Jupiter was destroyed by the Martians.
"The Martian Race had encountered the people of the fifth planet, grokked them completely, and had taken action; asteroid ruins were all that remained, save that the Martians continued to praise and cherish the people they had destroyed"
("Stranger in a Strange Land" - Heinlein)
Nibiru was captured by our solar system 290 million years ago.
no one knows why?

We’re in a bad section of galaxy spiral arms?
Galactic collisions happen.
More likely that just appears to be the case. That the evidence from before is just no longer recognized because it has been mostly erased by time and occurrences, (other asteroids slamming into the earth, volcanic eruption, flooding), that have transpired on earth.
A better question would be “Why not?”
Not an attack by ancient aliens?
Pretty sure it was white people who used the asteroids to subjugate other races.
The article supposes a whole bunch of stuff that can’t be proven.

I’d wager that triple the impacts is due to triple the orbital coincidences....if they go down, impacts will go down and someone can scratch their head wondering why that happened.
