This one has been "named" and there are teams of scientists offering money and trying to figure out how to track it years before its "close encounter". You dont do that for just ANY near earth object. Look at Google news this thing has been in the news since 2004, thats 3 straight years. Matter of fact this deserves more attention, research and focus than fucking "global warming".
