We detected the biggest friggin tsunami in the history of the friggin world and they wanna talk to us about "the need for good, current advice"!!
Details of where money would best be spent would be worked out by an international committee modelled on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which advises politicians on global warming.Lemmie guess. By the way, Indonesia, ANSWER THE FRIGGIN PHONE NEXT TIME!

They should call the system SPACEGUARD, after a similar project described in a novel by Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
Nice to see the Brits stepping up to the plate on this one.
Hey -- they could even have a rapid-response rescue team of marionettes!

They can't save themselves from the EU
and the EU's France can't even save their owh people from the hot Summer's sun.

Well this will be the new EU come 2015, considering French bureaucrats will run it.

We need a whole lot more than a glorified alarm system to protect us from asteroids and supervolcanos, but I guess this is a good first baby step..

Now if only they could launch a rocket into space by themselves, we would have something here.

That's true, apparently warning everybody does not correlate with saving everybody. Warning us that earth will be split in two by an asteroid next Monday probably wouldn't do us a lot of good.

More would be trampled in the chaos than by all but the truly word disaster events.

The Brits can't even save us from endless versions of Dr. Who, but they're going to save us from asteroids?

On hitting a cloud of their extremely dense debate with a lot of hot air it would generate, any would-be impactor would completely burn out and disintegrate without actually impacting and causing any more serious damage.
