york.ac.uk — Matching data sets of marine and terrestrial diversity against temperature estimates, evidence shows that global biodiversity is relatively low during warm ‘greenhouse’ phases and extinctions relatively high, while the reverse is true in cooler ‘icehouse’ phases.

This has been postulated for a while - I recall reading about it as a freshman geology major. It's usually called the "Holocene Extinction" or the "Sixth Extinction", and it's been occurring for about 50,000 years. It's sped up dramatically in the last 50 years.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction_event">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction_e ...</a>

Stating those beliefs is utterly hilarious though.

If anything life itself is kind of an error to the universe already, intelligent life is even more impossible. There is no reason for us to believe that our existence is anything more than a statical anomaly which is vastly improbable to ever be replicated again, so do not have much faith on it, your logic is clouded from fantasy stories. We better save ourselves, because -as far as we know- we're the only intelligence in the 'verse.

I won't take advice from a civilization that was not sufficiently advanced enough to leave said information in hologram form.
