I am sorry, but I believe this news isnt new, I remember reading about it few years back on reddit.

I remember hearing about it in 1936 when Phantom Menace was released in crisp sepia-tone on one of them new fangled Beta Max Tapes

Now, we just have to discover what "iceberg calving" is.

Sometimes a mommy ice shelf loves a daddy ice shelf

So... I am going to get that new little ice-brother I've been wanting!

“breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier.”

So basically the planet is burning.

No, it's calving! Lots of little baby calf icebergs are being born.

Great. We wanted aliens and we get more climate doom.
I was hoping for whale farts.
I'm sure the universe is brimming with life.
That said, why would any advanced race expend resources to come visit a type 0 "civilization" of malevolent primates torturing and manipulating one another while they work towards planetary scale mass suicide eyes wide open? I mean sure, Einstein might have enjoyed 16 and pregnant, or the ironically unironic Squid Game reality show, but I doubt it.
Our culture sucks, we're still basically fresh out of the cave technologically, and if they're the conquering habitable worlds type, we're turning our habitat into fucking Mordor with what little technology we've recklessly implemented without caring to fully understand.
I honestly hope space faring civilizations, whether benevolent(explorers), neutral(silent observers), or malevolent(we've come for your raw materials), have better shit to do.
Are you saying that if you were that super intelligent life traveling through space that you'd pass up a planet if you thought its inhabitants were too stupid?
We keep certain aboriginal tribes secluded so we can properly research how societies arise, I don't see why they wouldn't.
Any space faring civ also has the tech to make human bodies to control from a distance and would have some of their members chilling with us down here. Likewise, I think a lot of people here would enjoy spending a bit of free time in different eras in our past, even though they are much more barbaric by todays standards.
I can't even imagine them just not caring.
