Rising greenhouse emissions may tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report for Nasa
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.

The best part of that scene was the old woman watching it on TV going, “They blew up Congress....HA HA HA HA HA!”
When I saw Mars Attacks! in the theater, everybody cheered that scene.
Imagine that to write this nonsense about aliens killing us over global warming, they even had to ignore the part where the aliens kill us because we have nuclear weapons!!!
Klaatu look, planet Earth is 4 degrees warmer than uh, Al Gore thinks it should be! (Oh and they had a little thing called WWII but back to that temperature reading....)
Punishment from above? Rather Biblical.
Good one!!!!
These liberals have to get on the same page!
I have it on absolute authority that I have been deemed the Alpha God of the alien crowd. I will rule with mercy but rigid firmth throughout the firmaments.
Global Warming alarmists are going over the edge... Why would Aliens kill us because we’re killing ourselves ( according to liberal warming logic)??? Seems they’d be profoundly disinterested.
They'd dismiss increased emissions as indicating nothing more than another stage in the normal cycle.
We are safe unless we do somethin to DISTURB the cycle ~ then they'll come.
Clearly NASA has not thought through the problem.
Yeah, because sludge monsters from Planet Zoob just hate alternate energy. The author of this article should probably not be allowed to walk around in public without a minder.
If we offer to sacrifice George W. Bush I’m sure they’ll change their minds.
Boy, too bad Rick Perry didn’t know about this yesterday. I’m sure this would get him on the AGW gravy..er..band wagon.
AAAaack Aaack Rrrrack Rack!
no need for low level aliens traveling in spaceships to be concerned, we are great at killing ourselves off, religion, concrete the earth, or just good old ancient hate...
“Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists”
MOSLEMS may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists.
OMOSLEM may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists.
would be much more concerned about some of the extremely-well radar-and -human documented cases of UFO’s near ICBM facilities, or more generally military-related sightings of UFO’s from this time period (or the washington UFO 1952 event).
Its easy to make fun of the topic in general, but when you go and READ some of the DoD reports, from the 50s and 60s, they had objects visually observed from ground, sky, and radar doing things no technology on the planet do today.
I’m not afraid of those guys. They are 0-2. Keanue Reeves couldn’t do it either! ;-)
