    The planet will be fine. Completely inhospitable for human life, sure, but the planet itself will manage.

        We were hotter than Venus was at the time, before the Cyanobacteria Oxygenation Extinction event a few billion years ago

        Technically Venus would be way easier than Mars to terraform. Throw oceans worth of ice asteroids at the planet and seed it with cyanobacteria, and wait. They’ll eat up all that tasty methane.

      There’s this crazy theory floating around that humans only evolved to release all that carbon back into the atmosphere. I assume once we’ve finished that we’ll no longer be needed.

        I thought the theory was that aliens have been farming us to heat up the planet to make it more hospitable for their reptilian species?

        Which is ridiculous, because if that was how evolution worked, wouldn’t it make more sense for that carbon to have never been sequestered in the first place?

    The fact both the alien’s eyes are attached to its head is creepy and weird. I’d shove it back in, too.

    Also this is more or less the plot to End of the World.

      Butt also why is he naked? Interdimensional space travel, but no slacks?

          I think you’re right! His head is gray and the dude lifts him up by the suit

        They’ve evolved beyond our prudish sense of “decency”

    I see it’s from 2021, I’m surprised this isn’t used as a meme template (or at least I haven’t seen it)

    It’s a common theme in abduction or encounter stories, that the aliens warn the person about humans destroying the environment and themselves.
