Rising greenhouse emissions may tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report for Nasa
It may not rank as the most compelling reason to curb greenhouse gases, but reducing our emissions might just save humanity from a pre-emptive alien attack, scientists claim.
Watching from afar, extraterrestrial beings might view changes in Earth's atmosphere as symptomatic of a civilisation growing out of control and take drastic action to keep us from becoming a more serious threat, the researchers explain.
This highly speculative scenario is one of several described by scientists at Nasa and Pennsylvania State University that, while considered unlikely, they say could play out were humans and alien life to make contact at some point in the future.

“Aliens my destroy Humanity to protect other civilizations. say scientists.”
Really? And bats my unexpectedly fly out of my a$$, too.
Good Lord, now the pseudo scientists are threatening us with alien invasion to make us accept AGW. How pathetic is that? How stupid do they believe we “breeders” are? (Never mind. That’s a rhetorical question.)

If aliens wanted to destroy us they would have done it the day after Barry Soetoro was sworn in as president. Give me a break.

Of course, the building of a hyperspatial express route through the star system! It has nothing to do with pollution.

Is there some reason that scientists can’t just go back to doing something productive with their time, like actually practicing science and leaving science fiction to the writers?

Apparently that is today.
I cannot figure out how the Oblidiot’s administration can legally do this.
There should be an immediate legal challenge to that crap.

"Is there some reason that scientists cant just go back to doing something productive with their time, like actually practicing science and leaving science fiction to the writers?" Revelation 12:9 - "The great dragon was hurled downthat ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 - "For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness."

The obvious fact that there are no “other civilizations” doesn’t seem to dissuade these “scientists” from making looney proclamations.
Where is the science?
SETI has found nothing in 40 wasted years. (still listening though :o( )

My thoughts exactly, since TV travels at “C” we should
start saying that
“Aliens will come kill us because all of our
nightly news broadcasts are liberal lies.”
