At the same time, we can't really measure the impact. Extinction of the human race? I doubt it. But it would give us some trouble.

If plants that require propogation are killed off then the void will quickly be filled by plants that don't.

No way this is a serious threat to the survival of humanity.

I think it's the economic and sociological effects we'd have to worry about more than the biological effects.

You're probably right, but I sure would miss my flowers.

It's not big enough. It'd have to be several kilometres across before you could really say it would have immediate effects as far as a threat to all of humanity goes.

But not that big. Something as little as 50 kilometres across would do it, I'd imagine.

Still, you'd rather it hit land and not water. That "Oh, whoa" moment as you sit on a beach lookin' up at a iminami. Board would look like a toothpick then. Eh.

Plenty to worry about but these type of things are only threats to short-term peace and prosperity.

Then its just the stuff of history.
