the Earth suffers a violent impact on the order of a 10-megaton explosion. Instead of once in 500,000 to one million years, as astronomers now calculate, catastrophic impacts could happen every few thousand years.

Well, don't have to spend a lot of time worrying about global warming...

The Libs will. They would be complaining about the pattern on the living room wallpaper while the house was burning down around them.

"Well, don't have to spend a lot of time worrying about global warming"

Exactly! "global warming" is political science. Natural events such as Mount St. Helens' eruption have more impact than our styrofoam cups. If the earth's orbit around the sun were to vary just slightly (relative to 93 million miles distance to the sun) we would all be frozen or all be toast. "global warming" is nothing but speculation designed to support a political agenda.
