If you look at the large number of fairly large craters scattered around planet Earth, including some monster ones,
then the likelyhood of more such impacts is 100%, as stated.
But when is another matter, probability is a rather random event.
As for man having the 'tools' to do anything about it, that is also another matter.
Wasn't there a conference just recently about how to deal with such things. ?
Did they actually come to any resolution ?
Any committee involved in this will likely still be discussing as we get hit for six. !!
And, if we only get a few days notice of such an impact occurring, thats not enough time to organise anything,
except maybe a mass panic ?
