CNN anchor wonders aloud if asteroids are caused by global warming (Page 3)

Hillary Clinton attended a Seven Sister college as well.

Here response upon hearing about the asteroid: "What difference at this point does it make?"

(HilaryClinton_whatdiff-630x439.jpg)

God "caused" the asteroids when he made the universe.  God created gravity and put everything into motion, so technically God made the meteor strike Russia. 

Or maybe it was all an accident... proving that the 4 safety rules are not in-fact infallible...

Sitting too long...  Truck drivers get them a lot...

What did one asteroid say to the other asteroid?

"My space or yours?"

What if anteroids are really gods poop and he just took a big one on russa.

It's obviously a case of a newshead trying to seem up to speed.  I can almost see the connection, if squint and turn you head sideways?

Ateroids are hunks of space rock left over from making the universe or colliding planets or such.  A meteor is when a piece of space rock get too close to us and burns up from the friction of our atmosphere.  Global warming is caused by hydrocarbons effing up the ozon and atmosphere (which means little to a meteor).  So maybe she sees meteor/atmospher - global warming damages our atmosphere??? and make the connection?

Man, I'm tying to help her out - but that's a toughy.

That's your problem right there.

Read the OP and just jump to the end and start yapping like everyone else!  You don't try to get the back story!  Otherwise, how else would we get the same comments/jokes made over and over again to let us know than none of us are really THAT creative and witty!

It was god's way of approving of same sex marriage.  "You all want a sign, here's a meatier shower."

It's the new "Pentaverate."

Meteors are the reason I keep guns.

BrianRunsPhilly - All I can say is, G-d bless all BT'ers. From asteroids to Teletubbies in less than 5 hours

What would actually happen if an asteroid of that size hit the earth? 17,000 miles is pretty darn close.

I'm thinking global warming would be over because the sky would be filled with dust and keep solar radiation out. Is it big enough to do that?

Seriously, what would happen?

Not so seriously, if global temperatures dropped because of dust in the sky, would global warming activists be calling for the burning of more carbon fuels in order to increase CO2 in the atmosphere in order to heat up temperatures? Would there be bumper stickers that read, "Love our Mother - Drive an SUV" or "Wind Energy Just Keeps You In The Cold"?

I got a Phalanx on my roof for just such emergencies.  Meteors and zombies.

I was listening to Neil DeGrasse Tyson the other day and he said there are no earth ending asteroids anymore that we need to concern ourselves with...  So rest easy! 

Now, there are plenty of "kill all life on the planet" ones to look out for.  But the earth isn't going anywhere!  WooHoo!

It's the same size as the one that hit Arizona and killed all the giant sloths and mammoths.  But I don't think it was an End of Life Event for the whole Earth. 

According to the below websites, it had the force of 2.5 Megatons of TNT.  The Tsar Bomba Russian Nuke was reduced from 100 Megatons to 57 Megatons.  It didn't end life on earth.

According to Eugene Shoemaker, a Hiroshima-level explosion happens every year on earth somewhere over the ocean or over uninhabited areas.  I guess he knows what he's talking about since he's the guy who discovered that comet before it hit Jupiter and NASA buried him and his wife on the moon. 

Hold on, what?  How does this work?  Did some poor schmuck astronaut have to dig a hole six feet deep or do they subcontract that?

Carolyn Shoemaker is still alive.  And, they (NASA) took some of his ashes to to moon.

As in currently?

Maybe back in the day...  I guess I can't imagine that if a Hiroshima level explosion happened, even at the north pole, it wouldn't make the news or go noticed with all the tracking and observations we do.

Plus the earth is 2/3 water, so reason to stand that 1 out of 3 years it would hit land mass.  Half of that is populated, so 1 in six hears a atom bomb type impact?
