Oh no!!!

An astrobiologist affiliated with Penn State and NASA has co-written a paper suggesting signals to space be curtailed since they might inspire aliens to attack us due to our slowness in dealing with global warming.
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, along with fellow scientist Seth D. Baum, Jacob D. Haqq-Misra, issue this dire warning in their paper Would contact with extraterrestrials benefit or harm humanity? A scenario analysis which is now making international news.
Granted these smart people posit possible positive contacts with ETs such as advancement in knowledge and such.
And they note that in the event of a hostile encounter we might heroically triumph over them or be saved via intervention by a second group of aliens.
And you kind of wonder how much tax money went into producing this stuff.
Those who support shoveling this money at Domagal-Goldman et al are the same ones who laugh at those who have expressed skepticism of evolution such as Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann.

It’s true. Now everyone prepare by sending me all your money before it’s too late.
ping for your interest
If I never have hear the words global warming again, I say a mere alien attack is totally worth it.
If you were to assert that abortion, materialism, and atheism, motivated God to punish society, it would be met with more skepticism than this.
maybe the aliens will just take the global warming nuts back to their planet for lunch
Oh no!!!
Out of curiosity I just went to a certain web-site where the footballs are little and colored green.
He’s actually defending this study and condemning any and every one that dares to question it as anti-science troglodytes.
CJo has lost all sense of proportion. I know this is nothing new, but it would be nice to see a sliver of reasonableness emanate from the guy.
He’s gone all MSNBC on us.

The less you fear God the more likely you are to fear invisible men in the sky.
This is so absurd - everyone knows NASA is a Muslim Outreach program, it has nothing to do with space.
All your global warming are belong to us
Is this an end run by algore since Cap and Trade seems doomed to fail?
It’s bizarre. “Science” has become like “magic” for some people. They accept anything without understanding or proof just so long as an accredited priest utters the word “science” when declaring it to be so.
Oh, come on!! The space aliens who will destroy us for our oil-dependent destruction of Earth will be sent by Allah!! It’s in the Koran. Everybody knows that.
One moronic idiot astrobiologist that should be immediately fired from any academic endeavor(s) he is involved with. =.=
This makes the third alien attack warning on FR today...they must be really PO’d!;-)
