  1. Asteroid tax? Ha! A few days ago I posted a link a few days ago about how the Andromeda galaxy will collide with ours…. in some 4 billion years time. I’m sure Climate (soon to be changed to Astro) Barbie will shriek in the House of Commons that this country needs a galaxy tax because there’s a cosmological emergency looming.

    Many astronomers believe that the sun will eventually expand and become a red giant, which is part of the development of that type of star. Barbie will likely want to impose a sun tax on us as well.

    And here people thought that all those science courses they took in school served no purpose….

    1. My God, doesn’t anyone understand that the planet is spinning out of control and we are all going to do.

      And as to a collision with Andromeda, I bet you five bucks it doesn’t happen.

      As a kid, I was deeply disturbed to find out that the universe was supposedly expanding.

      1. And as to a collision with Andromeda, I bet you five bucks it doesn’t happen.

        There is evidence that the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies are heading toward each other. Similarly, there are indications that the MW collided with or swallowed up a number of smaller galaxies similar to the Magellanic clouds. As it turns out, collisions (or, more accurately, mergers) between galaxies are rather common. Here’s one example:

    2. Oh no, yet another excremental threat!
      Based on the past few years I expect most residents of ‘Gastown’ and neighbouring communities to favour adding a Giant Glowing Red Ball of Gas Tax to their existing Carbon and Transit Taxes. It goes without saying that Victoria will want it, they never come across anything with ‘Levy’ or ‘Tax’ in its name that doesn’t suggest progress.

  2. Wow,
    10 more years and the world will be destroyed with a big ball smelling like burning Carbon from Hell,
    Oh Shit, that little hateful commie girl from Sweden was right.

    Artificial Intelligence will please save us.

  3. Whether the object described is a clear and present danger is unknown, but destruction of life on Earth caused by an asteroid impact is definitely a real risk. Just ask the dinosaurs.

    I would sooner we spent a moderate amount of money and effort to mitigate a real risk, rather than vast amounts of treasure to pretend to deal with a phony one.

      1. Luis and Walter Alvarez published their findings about the K-T layer about 40 years ago. Evidence found since then indicates that the Chicxulub meteorite likely produced conditions that would have led to massive extinctions. However, there is another possible contributor to that, the Deccan Plains volcanoes, which were believed to have been active at around the same time.

        This is one subject about which the science has not been settled.

  4. You couldn’t blame the good Lord for wiping out society upon seeing men dressed as women and vice versa,A religion that wants to kill every non believer on earth and yet our government brings them into our country to give them a better chance of doing so.Free people not allowed to speak their opinion lest it hurts someone’s feelings

  5. Fortunately, it won’t matter by then because we’re all going to be dead in 12 years.

    AOC and Greta said so.

  7. Soon, we will have a “Solar Impact Tax” … when the INsane politicians finally “discover” global warming is entirely regulated by … the sun. So with every new solar flare … cha ching $$$ … a new tax bill will show up in your email inbox.

    1. “Climate change” is worse than even Climate Barbie could have imagined. Not only are the polar ice caps melting and polar bears and penguins are drowning, but–horror of horrors!–it’s erased all the sunspots! (sarcasm = off)

      The fact is that there sun has been spot-free for several months now. One consequence is that the high-frequency radio bands haven’t been active lately. Occasionally, I might hear faint signals on 20 or 40 metres, but the HF bands have effectively been dead for quite some time.

      Unfortunately, with the lousy weather we’ve had this summer, I haven’t been on satellites very much as I have to set up my station outside.

  8. Thankfully we can all employ the same mentality that haphazard transgenders use. Essentially, when we’re all about to be squished we can identify as being somewhere else. Just don’t wait until the last minute. Give yourself a little time to find a nice seat to watch the fireworks.

    1. That was my question, cgh, “How big is this thing”? As usual the lame stream media omits relevant facts in favour of sensationalism and speculation.

    3. My astrophysics course were twenty years ago, but I’m fairly certain that’s not even big enough to survive atmospheric re-entry.

  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_SU3

    Based on calculations with a shorter observation arc, the asteroid could have passed very close to Earth, about 9,700 km (6,000 mi), in mid-September, 2084.[3][5][6][7] According to astronomers, “Its small size of about 15 m (49 ft) would result in limited consequences even in case of impact.

    This is the most non-story of all non-stories. Keep trying to stir up hysteria though.

    3. andy Drew, you missed the whole sense of the thread, yer good like that , stupid as a box of dead rocks
