Imagine that you and your fellow scientists have recently been asked by the government of the United States to combine your knowledge to prevent and create solutions for Global Warming. Creating solutions for Global Warming isn’t anything new however upon accepting this task you learn there is a catch that you can only know about if you accept. Needless to say you and your group accept and find that the U.S. government along with many other countries have recently come in contact with a peaceful race of alien beings who say that planet earth is their property. They insist that they made an agreement with our ancestors that if we watch over this planet with care they would merely act as peace keepers for us. They have since come to our planet and have been quite upset with the shape that earth is in. They are giving the human race one hundred years to create new ways of creating clean energy and better life for all beings on planet earth. If we do not improve things ourselves they will forever peacefully take control of planet earth. However the human race has a strong bond with mother earth and we wish to keep it under our dominion. The beings find Global Warming to be a direct result of our greed and do not approve of the state that the planet is in. You and your qualified team are to come up with new and innovative ways to better our planet. You are among the first to find out about this evidence of life outside of our planet and for the moment it is top secret. The public will be informed slowly and in such a way to not cause panic. The U.S. government has chosen you and your team for their areas of expertise and has the fullest confidence in your abilities to create positive solutions.
