Near-Earth asteroids pose a significant impact threat.

Recorded sources
10 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Near-Earth asteroids pose a significant impact threat?

Yes. One peer-reviewed 2024 study states that near-Earth asteroid impacts pose significant threats to humanity. Other reference sources describe NEAs as posing a potential or continued impact threat, though several frame it as potential rather than significant.
