Would a comet collision be so bad? Presumably the damage would primarily be a loss of crops for a season (apart from the damage at the impact site). Food could be put aside in many countries but in many others there could be massive starvation with a resultant loss of population (perhaps half of the worlds total?). Mankind should survive but with a reduced population. Many other species may be lost and perhaps others which survive may even multiply. For the first time in history a real attempt could be made on a global scale to cooperate. External threats may unite us against a common threat and force us to face the challenges and problems of food distribution. We are hardly as helpless as the dinosaurs! After the changes of the past few years it is impossible to guess the world perspective 130 years into the future. Glen gkm@cc.uow.edu.au
