Space Aliens Hate Global Warming, Too

Ian Sample at The Guardian:

“A preemptive strike would be particularly likely in the early phases of our expansion because a civilisation may become increasingly difficult to destroy as it continues to expand. Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilisational expansion could be detected by an ETI because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions,” the report states.

“Green” aliens might object to the environmental damage humans have caused on Earth and wipe us out to save the planet. “These scenarios give us reason to limit our growth and reduce our impact on global ecosystems. It would be particularly important for us to limit our emissions of greenhouse gases, since atmospheric composition can be observed from other planets,” the authors write.

I couldn’t make this stuff up. Since the science behind global warming is falling to pieces faster than Al Gore can pick it up and put it back together with tape and chewing gum, they’ve now resorted to hypothetical Independence Day scenarios in which yet-to-be-observed aliens are so appalled at our treatment of planet Earth that they literally want to eliminate our species.

Further, this brainchild of some delusional liberal scientist is supposed to serve as a guide for human civilization.

Even if we never make contact with extraterrestrials, the report argues that considering the potential scenarios may help to plot the future path of human civilisation, avoid collapse and achieve long-term survival.

Yep. I think it’s safe to assume that any alien life capable of traveling to Earth is undoubtedly liberal, and subscribes to liberal environmental policy. All while having virtually no carbon footprint of their own.

Profound.
