I grew up listening to fundie christian parents babble at length how we were living in end times. And mocking them mercilessly (at first among my fiends, later to their faces) as often as possible.

Now look at us - on the brink of non-existence politically, environmentally, and civilizationally. Not sure that last one is a word.

If they were right I'm gonna have some 'splainin to do.

Dammit.

There is nothing in the IPCC reports that even come close to civilization-ending predictions from climate change.

Climate change alone might not be enough to do it, but do you honestly think we'll get through all the strife it will cause without significant nuclear weapons use?

Climate will drive crop failures, which will cause widespread food insecurity in nations with nukes. Do you really think that we're going to watch nations with nukes endure mass starvation when they could attack another nation and take it's resources?
