Mars Attacks: Scientists Say Aliens May Destroy Mankind Over Global Warming
The New American ^ | Saturday, 20 August 2011 | Selwyn Duke

Three years after the release of the remake The Day the Earth Stood Still, a team of American researchers has made the film’s theme a scientific theory: They are suggesting that an alien race might destroy man to stop our release of greenhouse-gas emissions and global warming.

Writes Fox News:

The thought-provoking scenario is one of many envisaged in a joint study by Penn State and the NASA Planetary Science Division, entitled "Would Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity? A Scenario Analysis."

It divides projected close encounters into "neutral," those that cause mankind "unintentional harm" and, more worryingly, those in which aliens do us "intentional harm."

While the idea of meeting our end at the green hands of anti-CO2 aliens may be more laugh-provoking than thought-provoking, another scenario in the harmful category is only slightly less amusing. Writes The Guardian, “They [the extraterrestrials] might invite humanity to join the 'Galactic Club' only for the entry requirements to be too bureaucratic and tedious for humans to bother with.”

Call this the Barack Obama Scenario.

Another example of denying what our LORD did for us on the cross. This just goes to show that humans will worship a turnip rather than the truth.

I have no idea who or what these “space aliens” might be, but if they think that the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from the combustion of various forms of carbon compounds contributes to “global warming”, then it is a total surprise they ever advanced enough to get off their own planet.

Could you imagine a race of Al Gore clones gaining supremacy in this, or any universe, EVER?

The Fermi Paradox is the apparent contradiction between the high probability extraterrestrial civilizations’ existence and the lack of contact with such civilizations.

IOW, If Space is full of advanced alien civilizations, why have they not stopped by for a spot of tea?

Or better yet, invaded to steal our:

(chose one or more)

Oil
Water
Minerals
Women
Moon-Pies & RC Colas

Aliens must be liberals. Always intolerant and hating.

Sad to see how far NASA has fallen.

Yeah, and instead of people driving around playing 50s music making the Martians heads explode, the Martians will drive around playing announcements that Global Warming is a fraud causing all the Global Warming pimps heads to explode destroying civilization as Al Gore knows it.

Yes indeed! The liberal development of a fantasy based on fraudulent information and the adoption of the crazy curly Q light bulbs and bird slaughtering wind mills. How far will they dig when they hit bottom?

The truth of the matter is that space aliens could care less about global warming.

Why would aliens give a da#n what we do with this planet?
If they exist and wanted it they would have taken it over a long time ago.

News flash: You're not truly a scientist when you obviously work in a "meth lab".

If they haven’t destroyed us over “Sex in the City,” I don’t think they’re ever going to destroy us.

That’s why we have Capitol Reef N.M. in Utah. They attacked us because of global cooling.

Clever line from the article:

‘I can suggest more plausible scenarios involving aliens who destroy humanity. While there might be a race called the Algoreians who travel the Universe exterminating beings to save their resources, I don’t think aliens would come and get us because of the Greenhouse Effect. It’s more likely to be the Greenback Effect: to make money by stealing our resources.’

Gosh.

Sounds like the plot to a liberal Hollywood movie, or something.

The dumber and more educated people are the more time they seem to have on their hands.
Unfortunately, I bet it's taxpayer money funding this retarded adult playground.
