Asteroid Bennu Impact: Modeling Potential Climate and Environmental Consequences
A 500-meter asteroid, Bennu, has a small chance of impacting Earth on September 24, 2182; if it hits land, it would cause a 4-degree Celsius temperature drop, 15% less precipitation, and significant ozone depletion; an ocean impact would cause massive ozone depletion.
