Civilization Can't Arise Without Plate Tectonics And Carbon Dioxide

This artist's illustration shows Kepler-168b, an exoplanet in its star's habitable zone. It's a rocky super-Earth that's likely too hot to support life. Without plate tectonics and the right amount of carbon dioxide, rocky exoplanets like it in habitable zones are unlikely to be habitable. Image Credit: NASA Ames/NASA/JPL–Caltech/Tim Pyle (Caltech).

Can a planet that lacks plate tectonics and has very little carbon dioxide support life? Maybe. Can it support life long enough for a technological civilization to arise? New research says no.
