That's a good point but meteors behave differently. Have you observed a meteor having an immense tail trailing behind it? Meteors are not charged objects like comets.
You misunderstand what he is saying.
He's saying that comets, as they orbit the sun, leave the scary deadly earth-killing trails behind them *all the time*, and the earth passes through these particle trails *all the time*, and yet, no "end of the world" actually occurs.
So... observations show the particle trails are NOT scary deadly earth-killing trails but are in fact ordinary bits of dust.
As shown by historical observations of this event that has happened many many many many many times before (several time a year, every year, in fact).

Well to that smug remark I say that no one knows for sure what exactly will happen. Not the experts, not NASA, and certainly not people on ATS. People can guess, speculate, and claim they do all they want. There is nothing wrong with discussion and preparing for what you may think will or will not happen. A bigger question that should be asked is when NASA had the ability to point one of the many satellites towards ISON (some that have been paid with supposed tax payer money)why they did not? We got a few still camera shots. Its 2013, don't give me that crap. Now its too late as it is behind the sun traveling through the asteroid belt until September.
The last I had heard, comet tails were creating zombies

This is simply not true. Now you're trying to discount the rarity of this event.

Even NASA is saying this is going to cause anomalies in the sky like never seen before.

They are saying the sky may have glowing blue clouds at night brighter than a full moon.

Okay, just so long as we're playing the "because the bible" card instead of looking towards real astronomical findings or any real predictions then by your logic, I shall play too.

The paper, published in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, reveals the results of Nasa's two-year AIM satellite mission, which was launched specifically to investigate the polar mesospheric cloud phenomenon. Shedding light on a more than century old mystery, the researchers used the satellite's Solar Occultation for Ice Experiment (SOFIE) to probe the chemical make-up of the eerie blue ripples -- which appear at night during the summer months of each pole 83 kilometres up in the air -- and found that three percent of every ice crystal is made up of particles from meteoroids.

7The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

I am more worried that our atmosphere is shrinking. This comet wont kill us...."i hope" but will cause changes to our planet.
