One overdue hit by a major asteroid and we have a real climate crisis, not the phony one due to the Global Warming hoax and Climate Change religion!
An estimated 14,000 larger asteroids still have to be discovered and tracked.
I guess, we can be lucky that the last two impacts by asteroids happened in thinly populated Siberia and central Russia (Tunguska 1908, Chelyabinsk 2013).
"... That's easier said than done. Asteroids don't emit any of their own light, so usually, the only way to detect them is when sunlight reflects off their surface down to one of the various telescopes watching the night sky. ...
Now for the disturbing parts – of those 32,000 near-Earth asteroids, more than 10,000 are more than 140 m in diameter. By most common estimates, if one of those were to hit the Earth, it would be capable of wiping out an entire city. ...
They estimate there are more than 14,000 140m diameter asteroids that we have yet to find. And one of those could well be on a collision path. Even more strikingly, they estimate that there are around 50 1 km diameter asteroids that we have yet to find floating in the void of space. ...
In comparison – the asteroid that hit the Chelyabinsk district of Russia back in 2013, shattering windows and injuring almost 1,500 people, was estimated to be at most 20 meters. ..."
