    As you were told, that’s not what the comic was about, but maybe the aliens breathe CO2 and methane, so they’ve organized a secret plot to take over the planet.

      Read post title, “They’d probably do it again these days”, which places both a past and present day context to the post.

        Do you really think I was serious about aliens making a secret plot to put greenhouse gases in the atmosphere so they can breathe it and invade the planet?

          Do I think any of this is serious? No.

          But it’s food for thought. Like really, why would aliens be interested in a trainwreck of a planet such as this one, from any era?
