An asterod impact caused one out of the five major extinction events in earth's history, and are suspected in other three. I'd say, they rank pretty damn high in the "what could go wrong" scale.

Problem is, it makes no sense that Earth has become an unlivable wasteland by the year 2381 when it is canon that by the year 2179 terraforming tech is commonplace. Hell, it retroactively makes less sense now that the backstory to Prometheus has Weyland solving earth's enviromental woes using large scale geoengineering in 2017.
