tvoivozhd---A six-mile meteor is not merely a possibility but absolutely 
inevitable in the course of time.  Given ten years warning it can be 
pushed off course by a lens focussing the energy of the sun on the rock, 
turning the focal point to a gas-jet and avoiding another extinction 
like that of the dinosaurs, but inflicted on present earth-occupants.

An almost-as-bad event is the upswelling Yellowstone---as I recall, it 
has risen about thirty feet---at some point it will blow and extinguish 
all plant and animal life in a quarter or more of the United States.  
Thinking people will get out of the way of that, too.
