Got to love these 'predictions'. Yarkovsky affects everything but there are no models to predict the extent of the effect. We are only now in a position to measure the effect on a very small number of objects that have been observed over the last decade or more. The report may as well say there is sufficient orbital ambiguity in every NEO orbit that any one of them could collide with the earth outside the next 100 years.
