Forget Global Warming, we need to solve this problem

Near-Earth Asteroid Streaks Through Night Sky (washingtonpost.com)

An asteroid will pass close enough to Earth to be viewed with binoculars tonight, but astronomers said there is no immediate danger that the half-mile-wide space rock will strike the planet.
Known as 2002 NY40, the asteroid was discovered July 14. Astronomers said yesterday that it will zip by about 350,000 miles from Earth.
It is expected to be faintly visible by binoculars or by telescope after sunset to about 3 a.m. EDT Sunday as it appears to pass near the star Vega and clip through the constellation Hercules.
