I recently did a podcast with Adam Frank who wrote a book and recently did published a paper on exactly that what the likelihood is of us being alone in the universe.
I think I did a podcast with Professor Adam Frankie wrote light of us stars and he identified that one of the byproducts of any world girdling civilization is going to be the level of global warming that we have because you can't have the energy you need for this civilization without the byproduct of the greenhouse gases and so.
