It would be quite the movie plot if extraterrestrial life were revealed right when the humanity needs to work together in a massive push to avoid the climate catastrophe.

That would basically just be "Day the Earth Stood Still," but with an environmental, rather than anti-war message.

And it's too late to avoid the climate catastrophe anyway, so the only reason aliens would actually show up is for the free real estate after humanity completes its self-fumigation.

It's never too late. We are just one World War 3 away from the solution...

Humanity could bomb itself back to being just a single stone age tribe tomorrow and it likely wouldn't reverse the course of climate change.

The avalanche has begun, it's too late now for the pebbles to vote.

Nuclear winter? That could reverse the course of climate change, and then some. (It's not a good answer to the climate problem...)
