Grim. So it seems we now have two possibilites, neither of which we can do much, individually or collectively, to avert: (1) A sudden, catastrophic nuclear holocaust that incinerates the planet, in which any remaining survivors will envy the dead; or (2) if we are "lucky" the slow burn of an accelerating climate catastrophe, steadily and irreversibly eroding our biological support system, leading to one or another form of "heat death" for all of us. Or both...Enjoy the present moment if you can, for the end is near, one way or the other.
