Global Warming May Cause Asteroid to Strike Mars

George W. Bush is also to blame. He's bringing Rove back to orchestrate this whole deal in order to distract everyone from waterboarding and CIA tapes.

Mars is in danger of being struck by an asteroid at the end of next month, astronomers have calculated.

The newly discovered space rock known as 2007 WD5 has a one in 75 chance of colliding with the planet on January 30. While the probability of an impact is only slim, the odds have been cut from one in 350 when the object was first identified, and they are much shorter than is usual for new asteroids.

If 2007 WD5, which is about 100 metres in diameter, does strike Mars on January 30, it would cause an explosion equivalent to several megatonnes of TNT.

“These odds are extremely unusual,” said Steve Chesley, an astronomer with the Near Earth Object Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

So you ask, where's the evidence global warming is a factor?

Global warming is the cause for everything. I say so, therefore it is.
