They’re Coming: Fight “Warming” – Beat Them Aliens?

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

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

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.
