    It IS true! The Earth WILL pass in front of the same Taurid meteor stream in 2032!

    In fact, the Earth WILL pass in front of the same Taurid meteor stream in 2031! And 2030, and '29, '28, '27, '26, '25 and '24!

    Sigh if only this guy was not a deluded person and meteors did end humanity. We deserve it so much.

    Ok, say that this is true, what should we do to prevent it?

    Because I can’t see humanity surviving an ice age of 1300 years.

    Even if we find shelter, what would we eat?

    I can’t see any way out of a scenario like this, and since if this is true it is a true inevitabillity we have zero reason to panic since it won’t help.

        That is a fair point, and I should clarify what I mean.

        There are two options of how to interpret the the doomsayer.

        1. Global ice cover, which is how I initially interpreted it as meaning, then we are truly gone.

        2. Partial Ice cover, here we can interpret “we” as the current civilization, that will be gone.

        I did not consider scenario 2 as much as I should have, but since the author didn’t specify closer, I jumped to scenario 1 and worked from there
