Is There Intelligent Life in the Galaxy?
I would love to find polluting gases. And I've had to let go of that dream because it's so deeply implausible. But the nice thing about intelligent alien civilizations, they may have more biosignatures than non-intelligent ones. So they might be easier to detect that that would be the hope on Earth. That's not the case, but it could be the case elsewhere. Most of the biosignions we have on Earth are created by quite simple life. If you don't count pollution, pollution is all. Well, so you don't see polluting gases as a possible like. You just look for them.
