Appears it's significantly more of a danger than man-made global warming.

Not to worry. With the dhimmicrats lead by peelousy, and grungy, it will just be hundreds of thousnds of dead islamofascists and illegals that will have taken over by then, dying in a tsunami. Nothing to see, move along...

There is a considerably greater chance than 1:45,000 that we can figure out a better way to spend the money required to deflect this asteroid.
I wish these "experts" would care enough about it to pay for the response themselves, instead of asking others to carry the load.

"I wish these "experts" would care enough about it to pay for the response themselves, instead of asking others to carry the load." A good excuse to implement a UN World Tax huh?

"Everybody get your home owners insurance up to date." Does not cover flooding caused by hurricane or asteroid. (You're not in good hands)

Schweickart's group will host a series of meetings to provide the UN with a 'decision process' for assessing and acting on the hazard posed by Apophis and other near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). A draft document ready for consideration by the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space is expected by 2009. It would be entertaining to see the clowns at the UN if there were a real observable threat. For the record, they would be complaining the the United States isn't doing enough to counter the threat.
Under the radar, discerning UN clowns would be phoning NASA and the Joint Chiefs asking nicely what could be done.
