The reruns have been a success, boosting Syfy’s late-night ratings by 13% in the adults 18-34 demographic and bringing new audiences, with 69% of its viewers new to the network (3Q18).

The report continues that such scenarios "give us reason to limit our growth and reduce our impact on global ecosystems." Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilizational expansion could be detected by an ETI because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions. We might be a threat to the galaxy just as we are a threat to our home planet," the report warns.Ī preemptive strike would be particularly likely in the early phases of our expansion because a civilization may become increasingly difficult to destroy as it continues to expand. In what sounds like the plot to a B-grade sci-fi sequel to Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", the scientists led by Shawn Domagal-Goldman of NASA's Planetary Science Division said human-induced climate change could be the signal aliens need to decide we're a threat to other civilizations.Īt that point, it's Death Stars and Death Rays for our little blue orb.Īliens (ETI) could attack humanity out of an "altruistic desire to protect the galaxy from us.
