What we could do to the Super Carrier depends entirely on its position.
Do note in all cases, It would take time for the Various Nuclear powers with Missiles to actually Target the Carrier. ICBM's and SLBM's are hard to retarget, with the Failsafes and such in place, its a time consuming thing to do.
High Orbit: Not much we can do. Any Nuke strike is doomed to failure, not only is there the posibility the Carrier's PD can down a Nuke spam before it gets close, Most Misilles won't have the range, and Its Hard to try and hit a moving target in space.
Low Orbit: Much like High Orbit, but the Chances of a couple of nukes hitting is slightly better. Still likely not to do anything.
Atmosphere: Here we can break out every bomb worth noting, from the Lowly tac Nukes to every one of the Bigger bombs. While it would still take time to Retarget the ICBMS, if the Big 5 can play their cards right, they can get the nukes to hit around the same time. To cover for the Nukes, an Air strike running interferance would help greatly, even if it was suicidal. While the chance of actually downing the thing is still rather slim, this Offers the best chance to bring our weapons to bear.
If the Ship master is a cocky bastard and trys landing his forces, the millitaries of the world have a turkey shoot. Basicly every Weapon and Vehicle the Modern world has is better than their UNSC counter part, short of the Longsword and the Pelican, and thats because we don't have Space superiority Fighters and Dropships yet. Our MBT's Main gun is larger than that of the Scorpions by a considerable margin, and is not designed by artists who have little idea why our tanks are designed not to horribly expose thier crews. Things like the Scarab can be taken out in short order by Gunships of every make and size, from the Little Bird to Hinds. Those Gunships could probably take out the Banshees and Covenant Dropships while they are at it. The Seraphs would be a bit of a problem, but enough missiles should solve the those problems.
But at the End of the Day, its that carrier that will decide the Victory for the Covenant.
After humanity has tried everything, that will be the time to don the War paint and armour, grabing the nearest heavy sharp object, and give proper Prayers to the Khorne.

this has to be the best post ever, of all time just because of the last paragraph "KILL MAIM BURN, KILL MAIM BURN!"
