They’re Coming: Fight “Warming” – Beat Them Aliens?
The Winston Review ^ | August 19, 2011 | -TWR-

Posted on 08/18/2011 9:29:29 PM PDT by AustralianConservative

Extra, extra read all about it (hat tip Andrew Bolt):

Aliens may destroy humanity to protect other civilisations, say scientists

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

Is it April Fools’ Day, or is someone playing the alien card?

The scare report was brought to us by the Guardian’s science correspondent, Ian Sample.

One threat – preemptive strikes:

The authors warn that extraterrestrials may be wary of civilisations that expand very rapidly, as these may be prone to destroy other life as they grow, just as humans have pushed species to extinction on Earth. In the most extreme scenario, aliens might choose to destroy humanity to protect other civilisations.

Close entire industries?

I have a better idea: You grab the car keys – I’ll fetch the kids, coz we’re outta here.

Is Paul Krugman involved in this somehow?

If you can get someone to believe an absurdity, you can get them to commit an atrocity....

Nearly all of the Brit (Pom) news publications have published UFO stories for several years now. One would think that they’d have given up on a sort of distraction propaganda that hasn’t worked well.

If you read the article, it says NASA assumes (Hansen?) that the aliens are “green aliens” - yes, it uses that term.

What if they are actually "brown aliens" and polluted enough to develop efficient, economical space travel? I guess NASA wasn't allowed to postulate on that.

You wonder what these so-called scientists are smoking...:^)

Considering the facts that the US has practically abandoned it's Space Program, and that it is highly unlikely that humans will leave the Solar System even by our grandchildren's adult years, I don't think the 'aliens' know about us or care.

Even if there are 1 TRILLION planets in the Universe with LIFE on them, it is doubtful that any of them are even aware that EARTH exists. Most of them may only know our GALAXY as a tiny spot of light in the night sky.

Krugman said we needed an alien invasion to stimulate the economy. So... logically, this means we should produce all the global warming we can as rapidly as possible to encourage war with the Awful Green Things from Outer Space, thus saving our economy and validating Krugman's Nobel Prize!

You can't make this stuff up....

Aliens haven’t noticed our radio transmissions or nuclear detonations but they picked right up on a one degree rise in the planet’s temperature in the last hundred years. Oh, wait, we cooled a degree the last decade. What are they worried about?

Well, apparently we’re contagious as Mars has warmed up a bit, too...

Apparently these highly evolved spacefaring “green” aliens are quite morally capable of pre-emptive genocide against another race to prevent that other, non-spacefaring race from what?

Exporting a violent culture capable of potential genocide against another race of space creatures?

This is not only nonsense, but it is specious, illogical nonsense.

Exactly the kind of journalism that the Guardian has specialized in for decades.

We used to call stories like this “pica fill!”

A writer/reporter was given a certain amount of space they were required to fill each week. Slow news? Doesn't matter. You must fill those picas. Any trash will do!

Reporters today, like this Ian Sample, have become so totally lazy and unethical that the trash they produce reads less like news and more like dime store sci-fi novels.

My 12 year old niece writes better.

So these highly intelligent beings can’t just show up and clean the planet? I mean, it’s a fact illegal aliens work in housekeeping, doing the jobs earthlings refuse to do!

It sounds like a couple of movies, one considered a classic, the other,which sounds a little closer to what the Guardian is proposing, not so much.

Let me get this straight; Aliens are going to destroy us because we are industrializing and improving life for everyone on the planet through free market principles which have the side effect (if global warming scam is to be believed) that we have increased temps imperceptibly and with questionable effect.

But the Aliens are NOT concerned with the industrial scale mass murder that Marxists/Communist/Socialist ideologies have undertaken in the 20th Century, to the tune of over 100 million deaths, in order to take away freedoms to facilitate total control, ...for our own good...

-yea- (s)

I don't want to defend the Guardian...:^) ...but the “Green Aliens” speculation comes from the Cornell Univ. paper that is referenced by them.

It's the Cornell conference folks that are sprouting nonsense...

NASA got the idea during its Muslim outreach Obama assigned them to do.

I’m afraid this proves that algore and his “smart” pals are aliens, just as I always suspected! ;)
