It was a comet. And it didn't miss. There were surfers riding in above the preacher on the cliffs near Los Angeles.

He got hit by an asteroid 12600 years ago and he still can't write a coherent post.

Depending on the size and composition / density of the impactor, generally a large explosion in the exponential megaton range, that causes a blast / shockwave that will incinerate 'half' the planet.  All the kicked up debris will then serve to put the rest of the planet in 'nuclear winter' conditions for a few years.  Crater at the impact site.  Perhaps a minor pertubation to the planets rotation or precession.

The people that believe the world is flat will be right.

Maybe rethink the importance of the affects of climate change and be glad you even have a climate much less a warming one.   Ten years after "Decarbonization " is complete an asteroid strike occurs and kills everything,    all that convoluted trouble for nothing, it's fate.

Land or water doesn't really matter. Moving at 10,000mph which would be slow, the heat generated by the asteroid in the atmosphere would vaporize the water.
A 10 mile around asteroid hitting at the Marianas Trench would be impacting the bottom of the trench yet still have 3 miles of rock above sea level.
The shockwave from the impact would flash vaporize everything within a few thousand miles. Crust material would be ejected into orbit. Some of it would leave orbit. That material would circle the globe still molten and rain down on at least half the planet
Tsunamis thousands of feet to a mile high would race across the world oceans at the speed of sound. Pretty much everything in the hemisphere where the impact was would be dead in the first few hours after impact.  90% of life on the opposite side of the planet would die of starvation within the next few weeks. Life would survive. Some humans will survive, but they will wish they hadn't.
The impact would trigger world wide earthquakes above 9.0 and trigger volcanos across the globe to begin erupting further adding to the misery and global cloud of debris that would plunge earth into darkness for years if not decades.
Look at all the life in earth now and realize that most of it, including us are only here after 66 million years of evolution of the creatures and plants that survived.
Recovery of the human race if we survived, would take thousands of years.

I'm not worried.  The Whitehouse is distributing 400 million free N95 masks.  Two weeks and the dust should be gone anyway.

Is there aluminum-26 in the 12800yr layer?

No, not really.

Lol,  my FIRST thought!

"WE DIE!"

Isn't that the one that they theorized killed the Clovis people?

Death by ooga booga

It will only be the size of a Chihuahua's head.  

Pretty sure thats it.

Like I said been a while and really doesn't matter to us now as a species a whole lot.

I'm sure if someone were to research it a whole lot more they could deduct how long it took for things to die off and come back.
Who made it and who didn't .

I found it interesting though since its a recent find and not discussed much but something large smacked the planet and fucked shit up.

The Biblical story of Noah's Arc could have been an accurate portrayal of a decent sized asteroid striking the ocean. Vaporized water and raining for 40 days and 40 nights.

A ten mile wide asteroid would kill most of the world's inhabitants over the course of several years and probably trigger an instant ice age. People not killed by the initial impact and firestorm would starve to death after food stores were exhausted. Enough debris and smoke from the fires would block the Sun's rays, maybe for a decades.  

Only 200 years ago the entire world suffered two years of crop failures because of a volcanic eruption in the South Pacific. "The year without a summer" caused panic in Europe. Riots and raids on government food stores. I think it was Quebec that got 12" of snow in July.

If a massive volcanic eruption can do that, a large asteroid would be devastating. There isn't a whole lot that can be done to stop it either. The colossal cost and waste of resources that might be directed to intercept or destroy this eventuality would be better spent on long term food storage and infrastructure redundancy.

Look at those pictures of the Schumacher/Levy (sp)
Comet impact on Jupiter....

It broke into several pieces  and cluster bombed that planet.

If it comes....I hope it lands on my head.  I want no part of what "life" would be for those that survived the initial impact.

It's a decent fantasy read about an asteroid impact. If you get your panties in a wad about sex or goofy, far fetched gun play, look elsewhere.
