rich life at higher temps

Until it goes even higher. The release of sub-permafrost and continental slope methane deposits will push it way past the balmy arctic stage before the feedback ends and equilibrium is regained.

Genocide Joe would never get his hands dirty. He is more the drones and blank checks for genocide kind of murderer.

Well the vampires are on the nightly news reports about Wall Street, and zombies are shown in attendance at every tRump rally... so yeah the ETs would certainly know they are quite prevalent here. Don't see as many werewolves in the news, but they interview a shit ton of ghouls.

Even if ALL human sourced carbon emissions ended today, the global warming feedback loops already in motion will end most life. Fossil records show that it has happened before.

The thing about unsustainable systems is that they are by definition unsustainable. Humanity has fucked around and now we are finding out.

What are they even trying to get

Black votes I am guessing.

Being a sociopath is a prerequisite for being in the U.S. government. Or in the "C" suites of corporations. But I repeat myself.

My theory is that if any ETI exists, our species is under quarantine until we have either grown up or burned ourselves out. They will have seen violent, self-destructive beings in the past and know it is dangerous to let them spread and destroy peaceful society. If they can travel between the stars, they would have to be able to communicate to keep cohesion, this communication could very well include the warning "Avoid this system, there are killer apes on that planet".

Well, there is a lot of stirring involved. I like to reduce that as much as possible.
