NEA are far more dangerous that global warming.

...it will pass Earth around November 6 at 0.07 AU, when the minor planet is at high latitudes in southern skies.Quick,...contact Al Gore,...We must pump groundwater out of the South American continent so the Andes may be lowered for just a little bit until this threat recedes......

You mean NEA, the teacher’s cabal? Or, NEA, the rock?
Guess it doesn’t matter... they’re both far more dangerous than global warming!

So how big is it?
Is it a larger object with low reflectivity or a smaller object with high reflectivity?

Jenniskens believes that this object may not, in fact, be an asteroid. IT’S A SPACE STATION!!

Jenniskens believes that this object may not, in fact, be an asteroid. “This is a now-dormant comet nucleus, a fragment of a bigger object that, after breaking up in the not-so-distant past, may have caused the gamma Piscid shower of slow meteors (IAU #236) that is active in mid-October and early November,” he says.

A very cool profession, in more ways than one.
