Climate change alarmists have been busy blaming every conceivable threat to mankind and the planet on global warming. The mainstream media eagerly report every new study that predicts the Armageddon-like consequences we can expect from defiling the planet by breathing and burning fossil fuels. If we did not have enough to fear from melting glaciers flooding our major cities to extensive droughts and the invasion of exotic diseases, we now have to worry about aliens invading the planet to punish us for our eco-sins.
A recent study, “Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity? A Scenario Analysis,” released by the Pennsylvania State University Geography Department, contemplates extraterrestrial revenge due to man-made global warming. According to the authors, “….ecosystem-valuing universalist ETI may observe humanity’s ecological destructive tendencies and wipe humanity out in order to preserve the Earth system as a whole.” It sounds like an idea for a new Al Gore film. The authors go on to say: “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.”
It’s not surprising that climate change alarmists would turn to science fiction to support their cause. They have found it increasingly difficult to get the American public to buy their doomsday scenarios, especially when the public considers that regulations designed to reduce CO2 emissions come with a lot of economic harm and little environmental gain.

Space aliens are Liberals.
Who knew?
maybe we should all stop breathing...
Whoever funded this “Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity?” research should be fired along with the morons who put the report together. What a total waste of taxpayer or student funds.
I can’t imagine any organization with any common sense giving the go-ahead to some pin-heads to research something that can’t be researched to come up with these stupid conclusions.
eh hem. It’s not their planet.
also, I just realized they don’t exist.
Goes with the other story above .Liberals are mental do to climate change.
It’s not okay to drop out of school and munch on LSD... for a host of reasons apparently.
“The Screwfly Solution” by James Tiptree, book or movie. Aliens kill us all off to get Earth.
Consider, though, that the aliens may prefer a hotter, wetter climate than we can tolerate, and have infiltrated industry to have the Earthlings terraform Earth into the muggy, hot, CO2 infested planet they came from. And acid rain too.
In “The Kraken Wakes” by Wyndham, creatures for Jupiter (I think) come to Earth and colonize the Marianas Trench and any other deep water places, for the dark and pressure is what they like though they do have to deal with much higher temperatures. They try to eliminate life on land by melting all the polar ice among other things.
Most likely the space aliens (heh-heh) would wipe us out so that they could use our land and resources for their own expanding populations and industries.
Liberals think that they are peaceful Eloi but they are actually Morlocks, and we should never forget it.
Global Warming? If we can’t build a launching laser for the Monks, we’ll see global warming all right.
These climate change hippies are getting really desperate.
If ET finds out some of us believe in man caused global warming of course they will annihilate us all before the stupid infects the REST of the galaxy.
That east coast earth quake last week was just the beginning.

Bring on the ugly creatures. At our house, an alien
abduction means we abduct an alien and slap the snot
out him. We will slap him into the next century.
And then bring on the space guys, too.
No, no, no.
The threat to use their atomic blaster cannons was if we ever interrupted their soaps again! For crying out load you would think it’s been years since Hinkley shot Regan and we foolishly interrupted the Soap broadcasts. They only care about CO2 if it’s going to interrupt General Hospital.
Ahhh, nah. We proved that solar output can’t influence Earth temperatures back in 2002.
“use our land and resources for their own expanding populations”
Yes. That and spreading their planetary religion would be the few reasons to go to the effort of traveling dozens of light years. Coming for a mere look-see would be quite expensive not to expect getting some benefit.
