Aliens don't like global warming?
Evil is evil, no matter how small
I think said motile sentient broccoli would "reward" us with advanced weapons technology ... they would show us how effective their weapons are when they attack. We are enslaving large numbers of their non-sentient cousins all over the planet after all.DeltaV wrote:Unless they are intelligent, motile broccoli stalks who need high levels of CO2.

Just because you can't hear them doesn't mean the broccoli isn't screaming.
A planet whose industry depends on burning coal is no threat. As long as they see pollution in the atmosphere they know we're too backwards to be dangerous.
Cleaning up the air is the problem. They would assume that means we perfected nuclear, most likely fusion, and will be on our way shortly. The combination of widely scattered radio signal sources in our system and a clean atmosphere is probably the warning bell.

Ya, if i was an alien species, I would only look at Earth as a threat if the humans finally got their shit together, developed fusion power, cleaned up their air, and started moving out into space. That would tell me they would be becoming a threat to my species dominance of any nearby star systems we'd colonized, and so before that happened I'd infiltrate Earth and engage in political actions with front groups to stagnate the planet technologically and economically.Tom Ligon wrote:A planet whose industry depends on burning coal is no threat.

"Zessldorf, you evacuated your vacuoles less than 20 nerstats ago. You can hold it until we reach the next cluster. We're not stopping at every tourist trap and unoccupied system between here and home"
"But Mom..."
"One more whine out of you, and you'll be squirting in the Oort cloud! Now you can just wait!"
Some things will never change...
When opinion and reality conflict - guess which one is going to win in the long run.
