A former Canadian defence minister says be believes advanced technology from extraterrestrial civilizations offers the best hope to “save our planet” from the perils of climate change.
Which is a tremendous insult to all the people working in alternative energy, technology, science, research, for the environment, studying climate change, studying ecology, and to the mothers and fathers and spouses who tell one another and the kids to turn off the lights when they got to bed.
What an embarrassment.
(And yeah, I read this as a link from a story about Haut’s letter on Roswell, which actually hit Korean news today. Lime asked me what I thought of it, and I was shocked that it was even in the news here. At least the /. thread is interesting.)
Oh, and I liked Jerry Pournelle’s thoughts on the topic.
