An interesting video.

"Boris" has been around much longer than we suspected then? :lol:

Good international cooperation. I guess, much like this forum, it's in suspension at the moment. :(

By coincidence this appeared in the past week. It's not going to hit us, thankfully, (the odds must be phenomenal) but there's a lot of this stuff flying around out there and - like the Tungusta incident, only much bigger - is certain to happen again one day. :shock:

On a lighter night - well, sort of :shock:

This one did not arrive from the sky; this was a methane explosion and was witnessed as it happened. What is more worrying is not what is coming from the sky but what viruses we release from the permafrost once it melts.

I got that.

As far as novel viruses are concerned it seems to be a similar story, in some cases down to mankind relentlessly encroaching on the wild in places like sub-Sahara Africa (Ebola, et al).

All the evidence suggests the original (1908) Tunguska incident was a meteor. Not big enough to be an asteroid, so only about 12 Megatons. The rock in the Gruinard article would be far more cataclysmic. An extinction event. It's only a matter of time until the next one.

It's alive

Next we shall find out that Neanderthal is still alive in Cyprus and goes by the name of maxi baby. It is an ugly creature best not approached especially if it just brushed its teeth and is salivating.

Very simple solution really. It is not rocket science is it. The Ukranian war will destroy the Ukrainian ecology because the tree will be cut down for firewood which will exasperate the climate change.
