UFO science key to halting climate change: former Canadian defense minister - Yahoo! News:

A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

"I would like to see what (alien) technology there might be that could eliminate the burning of fossil fuels within a generation ... that could be a way to save our planet," Paul Hellyer, 83, told the Ottawa Citizen.

Seriously,

1. why the hell is this front page news on Yahoo?
2. why the hell isn't there a single line from a (normal) ufo skeptic going "what the fuck?"

*sigh*

Except for Korea, Viet Nam and both Gulf wars.

Not defending the old fart, just the truth.

I was being *sarcastic*.

Ah sarcasm, 'twas hard to tell. That's why I have proposed for decades that a new punctuation mark be invented to denote sarcasm.

Maybe the aliens are suppressing the skeptics?
