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.

Paul Krugman believes an alien invasion would fix the economy

Well, an alien abduction of Obama would be a step in the right direction. The DJIA would jump up an easy 1,000 points on the news.

Or, they may not...sounds a lot like a movie plot.

There’s no point acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start
making a fuss about it now.

It's crazy to believe in God, but not space aliens.

Glad we have that cleared up.

It may not be the most compelling reason, but it's as good as the others.

So, they’re going to destroy us because we destroy things? That’s what I take from this. Hypocrites.

Submit earthlings, or we will destroy all of you. Or have our Morlock allies do our bidding.

Seriously; this is how these people think? And we can't articulate conservatism in a way to completely dominate these people?
What an opportunity we have if we would just do it.

I believe this to be the result of mental illness caused by the grievous affronts to reality and common sense when Obama pressed NASA on outreach to the Muslims.

One also has to wonder if Obama is channeling L. Ron Hubbard or something.

They don´t. Not in this galaxy.

This is the left’s version of, “We have offended the gods! They come forth to smite us for our sins!” However, since the left doesn't believe in God, they have to come up with the next best thing, an advanced alien civilization come to smite us for our environmental sins.

This is a complete and utter humiliating admission of defeat for Al Gore and supporters of Anthropogenic Global Warming.

Esteemed Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman believes an alien invasion would fix the economy.

They're going to fix the economy and then destroy civilization.

Speaking of the economy, how many federal grant dollars were spent to produce this report?
