Global warming is a 'catastrophic risk' that might kill a few million people in a few decades. Global thermonuclear war is an 'existential risk' that could kill 7 billion people next week. If
@AOC doesn't understand the difference in scale and urgency, we've got a real problem.
Nuclear war won't kill 7bn instantly. It could _start_ at any time, killing a couple of billion within days, and then the nuclear winter would kill everyone else within a few years.
