disasterbaiting 

Creating clickbait articles with headlines that make it seem as though a cataclysmic event is predicted in the future (typically an asteroid impact), when the article itself actually claims no such thing.

Another article about an asteroid "approaching" Earth, but actually predicted to miss by half a million miles... getting sick and tired of all this disasterbaiting.
