    This is so laughably funny I had to post it: Rising greenhouse emissions could tip off aliens that we are a rapidly expanding threat, warns a report says Shawn Domagal-Goldman of Nasa's Planetary Science Division and affiliated scientists and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University [^] I am thinking cart-horse here. Shouldnt they prove the existence of Aliens before worrying what they might think about our activities? Not only that, dont you suppose the Iraq war, Guantanamo bay, and rioting in the UK might be of more concern to them? :)

    Unless of course it's proof that we still rely on primitive energy sources and are therefore not a threat at all. Any species that could actually travel here is likely to be far beyond us in energy production.

        Well, the milky way is only 100,000 light years wide, so it wouldn't take millions of years! :laugh: The difference between CO2 from volcanism is debatable - volcanoes here emit water, CO2 and SO2 mostly (in that order), so any increase in CO2 not accompanied by the other two would be significant. However, this may not be the case on other planets, but it is likely that sulphur compounds would indicate natural processes rather than industrial. Probably worth sending a probe anyway!

        Well, that's assuming top of the line 3x10^8 speed light. You might get some light that is a little more sluggish and have it take longer. ;)
