Disappointed.


hang on until the fall of 2030 when the Earth will pass through the densest part of the Taurid stream. Last time was around 12,800 years ago and ushered in the Younger Dryas Period - colder than the Ice Ages. Ah, you say throw another log on the fire.

Well, if it is like last time, expect a 21 year period of heavy bombardment replete with continental-wide firestorms (not mere forest fires), air bursters (like over Russia a few years back) and ground impacts in the 5 MT range. Watch for the occasional 3Km rock impact to give scale to the plentiful 1Km impacts. You won’t need logs to keep warm, rather luck to keep from being incinerated or basted into atoms.

Did I mention that the focus of the last time was the North American continent? Hope you have a nice day then - I’ll be in my late 80s so a little excitement will be interesting.

Cheers

Are you saying AOC is right but for the wrong reason?

Which would explain why the ancients built massive underground cities around 12,800 years ago.

Thanks for the info. Good to know that my 401K only has to last me until 2030. Maybe I can buy that diesel motorhome after all.

"expect a 21 year period of heavy bombardment"

Insurance Adjusters will be very busy.
