Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The object 3I/ATLAS, described as a Manhattan-sized interstellar comet, is exhibiting unusual behavior that has led scientists to consider it a potential Black Swan event. Its unpredictable trajectory and the possibility of it altering course towards Earth could have catastrophic consequences. The rarity and unpredictability of such an event make it difficult to prepare for, and the potential impact on Earth could be devastating, warranting a high-risk assessment.
