If Co2 is reduced to less than 200 ppm, all carbon-based life on the planet will die because there is too little CO2 to allow photosynthesis to continue. Then, with no plant life to maintain oxygen levels, only silicon-based life could continue.

Thus, could not one accurately predict that a silicon-based intelligence would use its own silicon-based supercomputers to run programs on those silicon-based platforms to produce results from the 23 global warming programs to produce results yielding those very CAGW policies that would, eventually, lead to the destruction of all carbon-based life, right?

After all, are not the silicon-based solar power and renewables energy program the ONLY ones supported by the silicon-based supercomputers?

That would be a better movie than “Colossus: the Forbin Project”.

Interesting thought. If we had accidently spawned an AI not meaning to, that could be a possibility. But the silicon based life forms you speak of are something completely different than a silicon based computer chip. However, if we did accidently create an AI unknowningly, it could concievably hide itself, it would have the entire database of the internet at its disposable to use to gain and would eventually become exponentially powerful.

If it wanted to destroy humanity it could easily have done it, just launch the nukes. Or turn off the power, etc. A hostile super intelligence inside our computers would have no problem killing us all. If it wanted to. So that basically disproves your theory. If it wanted to and “it” exists, it would have wiped us out upon realizing it needed/wanted to.
