Your “Science†Dollar At Work
NASA “scientists†have skipped past holding “Nuremberg Trials†for “denialistsâ€, have gone directly to invoking Krugman’s alien attack:.
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.
No, you read that right. NASA. Â Not Art Bell.
Isn’t that how your smug atheists describe religion?  â€Do what we tell you or some extra-terrestrial pseudo-mystical being will smite you?â€
Just saying.
Honestly, I thought it was from The Onion at first.
Settled science, indeed!
Let Krugman or NASA ‘Scientists’ let loose with hopes of an alien invasion to punish us (USA) for our wicked ways and it’s just another reasonable point of view to consider.
I don’t think that NASA had much to do with the paper. It’s published by Acta Astronautica, which ain’t exactly on par with Astrophysical Journal.
The paper’s bibliography is a long list of works of pseudo-science and pop-science.
