This seems like a great way to find extinct civilizations on dead planets maybe? But it seems pretty silly to look for something that would necessarily only occur for like less than 500 years in an intelligent life form’s history.

I mean basically we’re already at the tipping point where either we solve this problem or we very likely go extinct over the next couple hundred years. So yeah there’s no guarantee we fix it, but also like there’s no humans if we don’t fix it
