Yes, drop a large enough rock from, say, orbital height and there might be zero carbon emissions going forward.

For a rock to extinguish all life on and in Earth from an orbital drop it would have to be quite large. I suppose Jupiter would be big enough.

Just human life would do, not all life. But just a drop wouldn't have the relative speed of most asteroid impacts.
