Asteroid TERROR: Fears of human EXTINCTION as scientist says deadly rock will hit Earth

IT’S inevitable that a massive asteroid will smash into Earth, potentially leading to human extinction, unless leaders take action according to a top scientist.
Greg Leonard, a senior researcher at the NASA financed Catalina Sky Survey (CSS), put the probability at “one hundred percent” unless changes are made. He was speaking to science writer Bryan Walsh for his new book, ‘End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World’.
Mr Leonard is also a professor at New Zealand’s University of Otago, where he forms part of the school of surveying.
However he did also admit that the chances of being killed by an asteroid are currently lower than dying after an asteroid strike.

According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory each year an asteroid roughly the size of a car entered the Earth’s atmosphere, but usually burn up without causing damage.
