>A nuclear exchange would put us in Mad Max territory pretty quickly if you ask me. It's one of a number of unlikely but far from impossible scenarios that we should consider.

Climate change does not and can not create nuclear war. People create nuclear war.




"Guns don't kill people! People kill people!"

Having climate change around sure makes it easier for people to work themselves into positions where they have to use the nukes.


Dear god please tell me this is a joke.


I don't see why. You are ignoring the fact that many people simply don't share your value calculus, and that that group might include people who have control over nuclear weapons.

It's a mistake to assume everyone else has the same priorities and basic values that you do; their actions might seem illogical to you but actually be logical courses of actions if you knew what their starting premises were.


Oh give me a break. You are the very person going around insulting other's intelligence in this topic, telling people that disagree with you that you 'have a better memory than them,' or they 'have bad reading comprehension.'

Go ahead, keep justifying nuclear weapons on the basis of your presuppositions, whatever they are. The truth is given your reputation here, I'm not keen to give you the time of day to let my imagination run wild about what you are supposing if nuclear war is your answer.

I really don't appreciate these posts of yours.
