The abstract of the paper discussed in the OP is:
If an industrial civilization had existed on Earth many millions of years prior to our
own era, what traces would it have left and would they be detectable today? We
summarize the likely geological fingerprint of the Anthropocene, and demonstrate
that while clear, it will not differ greatly in many respects from other known events
in the geological record. We then propose tests that could plausibly distinguish an
industrial cause from an otherwise naturally occurring climate event.
I don't see the conclusion you quote. Here's the paper:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03748v1.pdf
THIS is the paper that was the subject of the posted article:
The Anthropocene Generalized: Evolution of Exo-Civilizations and Their Planetary Feedback
Frank A. Carroll-Nellenback Jonathan ,
Alberti M. , and
Kleidon A.
What you brought up is NOT found in post 1 article, the one many are making fun of.
You are a confused boy.
You're mistaken. The OP links to a Daily Caller article about the Frank/Schmidt paper, for which I provided a link to the PDF.
IN the Daily caller article is the
LINK to the Atlantic article that contains the science paper link I posted.
Daily Caller:
"How would alien civilizations solve a problem like global warming? Sounds like a science fiction novel, but a group of researchers are actually taking the question seriously.
Adam Frank, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester, was the lead author of a study trying to model the “possible histories of alien planets, the civilizations they grow, and the climate change that follows.”
Frank’s study was published in the journal
Astrobiology in early May, but Frank
wrote about his work for The Atlantic. “We’re interested in how exo-civilizations develop on their planets,” Frank wrote Wednesday."
bolding mine
The Atlantic link states:
"Remarkably, science has now advanced to point where we can take a first step at answering this question. I know this because my colleagues and I have just published a first
study mapping out possible histories of alien planets, the civilizations they grow, and the climate change that follows. Our team was made up of astronomers, an earth scientist, and an urban ecologist."
the Link from that goes to
HERE, showing this which was first mentioned in the Daily Caller:
The Anthropocene Generalized: Evolution of Exo-Civilizations and Their Planetary Feedback
Frank A. ,
Carroll-Nellenback Jonathan ,
Alberti M. , and
Kleidon A.
The paper YOU bring up is an OLDER paper found further down in the daily caller article, but not the one the DC and Atlantic articles are discussing:
"This isn’t Frank’s first foray into questions about ancient extraterrestrial civilizations. Frank wrote another
op-ed in The Atlantic in April on a paper he co-authored with Gavin Schmidt, the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
That’s right, NASA’s top climate scientist co-authored a
paper on advanced civilizations that could have existed millions of years before humanity on Earth."
You are indeed a confused boy.
The OP agrees with me, but I'm sure you're entitled to your own facts.
Here is the OP you irrationally claim your support.
The very FIRST three paragraphs from The Daily Caller article:
"How would alien civilizations solve a problem like global warming? Sounds like a science fiction novel, but a group of researchers are actually taking the question seriously.
Adam Frank, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester, was the lead author of a study trying to model the “possible histories of alien planets, the civilizations they grow, and the climate change that follows.”
Frank’s study was published in the
journal Astrobiology in early May, but
Frank wrote about his work for The Atlantic. “We’re interested in how exo-civilizations develop on their planets,”
Frank wrote Wednesday."

Now click on the word WROTE.
The SECOND paragraph from the Atlantic:
"Remarkably, science has now advanced to point where we can take a first step at answering this question. I know this because my colleagues and I have just published a first
study mapping out possible histories of alien planets, the civilizations they grow, and the climate change that follows. Our team was made up of astronomers, an earth scientist, and an urban ecologist."
Click on the word STUDY, that leads to this, from the journal ASTROBIOLOGY:
The Anthropocene Generalized: Evolution of Exo-Civilizations and Their Planetary Feedback
Frank A. ,
Carroll-Nellenback Jonathan ,
Alberti M. , and
Kleidon A.
This is the paper ADAM FRANK the Atlantic author and the lead scientist of the paper are talking about. The one the Daily Caller, the Atlantic and the Journal Astrobiology talked about.
After the Daily Caller savages the absurd paper in most of the article, they near the bottom of the article finally mention
another paper Adam Frank published:
"This isn’t Frank’s first foray into questions about ancient extraterrestrial civilizations. Frank wrote another
op-ed in The Atlantic in April on a paper he co-authored with Gavin Schmidt, the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
That’s right, NASA’s top climate scientist co-authored a
paper on advanced civilizations that could have existed millions of years before humanity on Earth."
Daily Caller didn't discuss that paper at all, the Atlantic article doesn't even mention it despite that the author is Adam Frank himself.
Stop making a fool of yourself.
