Scientists Now Modeling Climate Change On Made-Up Planets To Push Global Doom

The famous ‘Fermi Paradox’ asks why, if life really is every bit as prevalent in the cosmos as some astrobiologists claim, with their equally famous ‘Drake Equation’ (which purports to show extraterrestrial life should be teeming just about everywhere in the universe), then where is it all? [emphasis, links added]


One possible answer might be that, once all intelligent civilizations reach a certain point of advancement, they stumble across the so-called ‘Great Filter’, a developmental obstacle that simply can never be overcome, no matter what planet you are living on, which ultimately destroys the whole species in an irreversible Mass Extinction Event.

This Great Filter was once often imagined to be a nuclear war – now, it is increasingly deemed to be climate change, a phenomenon no cutting-edge industrial civilization can supposedly ever escape from unscathed, on Earth or off it.
