Our obsession with finding life in distant galaxies while ignoring the destruction of life on Earth is one of science’s greatest failures. Priorities matter—and ours are upside down. #ClimateCrisis #ScienceEthics

Here's my follow-up story on K2-18b, the distant planet where scientists claimed to see a possible sign of life last month. In three preprints, other researcher argue that the signal is noise. nyti.ms/4jaqQRv
There’s Probably No Life on K2-18b After All, Three Studies Conclude
In April, astronomers said they had detected a possible signature of life on the exoplanet K2-18b. Now, three independent analyses discount the evidence.
