Sometimes I wonder if global warming and related environmental hazards explain the Fermi paradox. Maybe the reason there aren't von Neumann probes all over is because every planetary civilization is unwilling to halt the inertial force of dirty industrialization before succumbing to it and having a chance to build them, in a cosmic tragedy that keeps playing out over and over.
