Isnt it believed by some researchers that in-case of a big meteor/asteroid like that hitting Earth, the atmosphere would just burn. Cant remember exactly how it was, but the point is, even much smaller asteroid could kill most life on earth due to the dust etc. that would raise up to the atmosphere and either poison it (=acid rains) and/or block the sunlight on most parts of the earth causing the temperature to lower very fast.
