At this point, I'm not sure whether I'd prefer (1) a rapid, explosive megadeath from nuclear weapons or (2) a slow but accelerating, now inevitable deterioration of our biological support system due to global heating, leading to the incremental, interlocking collapse of ALL the infrastructures that sustain our population: agriculture, energy, trade, the financial system, and civil society, all spiraling into chaos, violence, starvation, and death, all over the planet. What an awful choice!
