The situation is not that grim when Earth survives.

Because Bioware handled the whole sci-fi expansion a lot better than in most other universe : by the time of ME3, a huge proportion of the Human population is living on Earth. I would say safely than over 90% of Humans live on Earth. (It shows in game, were the largest colonies have populations in the million range)

So, even without FTL, the effects would not be as devastating on Earth than on other homeworlds, as Sol is apparently mostly self sufficient (the colonies are far from supplying Earth in vital things such as food, as they are barely sufficient themselves) : not to mention that following ME1, Citadel space factions have at least a rough understanding of the relay system.

Not to be a party pooper, but potentially giant pieces of the Citadel are falling to Earth.

This is going to cause some... extinction level events if not properly disposed of.

Nuclear winter is the best winter

Not nuclear winter... think of what was said about the Terra Nova colony asteroid thing and times that by 3.

Large pieces of falling metal/whatever lands with the force of a nuclear explosion if the piece falls at a certain speed and is of sufficient mass. Whiel it may not be necessarily nuclear in nature the amount of debris kicked up into the atmosphere would easily be able to herald in a new ice age. I just chose nuclear winter since who knows what woudl happen when those things crash back down.

Hardly. We're not talking about a huge relative velocity difference here.

Exactly how much force do you a massive explosion is going to give to giant space station arms and pieces?

If the pieces land in water, it's worse than it, and no nuclear winter would not occur in a lot of cases, there are worse things, the Terra Nova scene explained it best and in like 16 lines of detail.

I think Earth is pretty much screwed. 'Saving it' = letting any survivors on it, have a chance to escape.

I think regardless, a Mass Effect 4 will disregard Earth. Either it was lost, or people had to evacuate it due to the battle over the Crucible. Humanity will be forced to recoop and expand even further. Unknown what all this stuff means for the fleets in Sol.
