Almost nobody noticed this, but back in December a chunk of space rock slammed into the Earth's atmosphere at 32km/sec over the Bering sea. The aerodynamic forces tore it apart and it released energy equivalent to a 170 kiloton weapon.
And almost nobody noticed.

My stomach was a little upset that day..
I just chalked it up to that :)
For those that know, does this explosion rival Hiroshima, just to get an idea of the strength.

This explosion was about ten times that of the nuclear explosion at Hiroshima.

So if an asteroid makes a nuclear blast over the Bering Sea and nobody notices, does it make a sound?
To: Larry Lucido
If it knocked down a mime the earth will be in balance.

Yeah, the only reason many of these have been learned about is the existence of nuclear weapons around the world.

The more poignant question would be:
If an asteroid makes a 2.5kton explosion, how does this affect climate change?

... and it didn't make a dent in our lives .... not now .... not in years to come.
Special message to the snowflakes that think there's a half degree warming or cooling over the last 100 years.
