Giant comets thrown into short-period, Earth-crossing orbits are a major source of mass flux into the inner planetary system. Their disintegration products may give rise to climatic cycles, ice epochs, periodic mass extinctions and other global disturbances. Comets ≳100 kilometres in diameter, in chaotic orbits beyond Jupiter, probably constitute a more substantial current hazard than stray asteroids.
