Doom-mongering is bad, yes. But climate change (especially in context of nuclear armed states to fight future wars in resource wrecked world) really seems like something bigger than humanity has ever faced. And to date, species isn't doing a good job on it.

Also "we should have smart people working on climate rather than hedge funds" is true but it's not compatible with existing political economy of at least the last 40 years.

I know it’s not a popular opinion on Nukes, but I think that the threat of M.A.D. makes a non-accidental, non-Dr Stangelove situation, Nuclear exchange very improbable.
