MSM proves once again they lack reading comphrehension skills (NASA and "aliens")
Advertisements [?]
So its going around that NASA "scientists" think aliens may want to destroy humans over global warming due to this article in the Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/aug/18/aliens-destroy-humanity-protect-civilisations
This is based on one speculative article (ie, little better than science fiction writing) written by a blogger who has an ASSOCIATION with Nasa on his CV
http://paleblueblog.org/post/9110304050/some-important-points-of-clarification

The irresonsibility of someone picking this up as a serious piece of research angers me greatly. It makes NASA look ridiculous to skeptics and science haters in general AND gives "global warming is a myth" haters more fodder for their idiocy. AAAAGH. :banghead:

Oh and SHAME to the Guardian, whom I usually respect for horrible, shoddy journalism here.
