    Why does everybody argue against using nuclear weapons for asteroid defense? If you break it apart you won't have a massive impact, and the shrapnel will burn up, because you'd be increasing the surface area of the rock to be burnt up by friction, unless I am missing something here...

      Its wansnt a asteroid. It was the event of Mammals. the rodents ate the dinosaur eggs. and the older dinos died off. No young plant eating dinos and the meat eating dinos began killing the larger plant eaters. and rodents brought fleas lice and ticks that affected the cold blooded dinos. However we still have Dinosaurs today. Crocks ,Alligators , Turtles and snakes. The snakes crocks and gators protect their eggs and eat rodents. The turtles bury their eggs.

      @@blucci-_-boy4208 Demographers are saying that population growth has slowed dramatically. 39 countries in the world have negative birth rates. Every first world country has negative birth rates, the only thing saving them from going down in population being immigration. However, once immigrants get there, they stop having kids too. The only thing separating first and second world countries is water access since it seems cheap food has all but solved the starvation problems in china and india and africa. Yet, only india has positive birth rates and that has slowed dramatically too. Within 30 years the number of abortions will equal the number of live births on earth. It isn't more abortions happening to cause it, its just people not having kids. We will have worldwide negative population growth by 2050. If this trend continues, we will have a world population of 1 million by 2400. 1,500 by 2500. Zero by 2600.
