It will be like pumping the brakes and critically thinking, while staying in a landslide (caused by you, but blame assignment will not do much at the moment). Climate change will not wait. Extinct species will not pop up back into existence. Asteroids on impact course (if any) will not stop moving for that matter. We need to run faster than ever to have a chance to fix at least some things.

With regards to asteroids, the question is when, not if.

The probability that none of the known or unknown space objects will ever collide with Earth until the sun exhausts it's fuel is incredibly slim.

Of course, an asteroid collision is perfectly natural.
