    “calm” would be Ukraine no longer being invaded and occupied. Working towards that end is arguably a more effective way to calm shit down.

        You don’t think we’re headed there anyways from climate change, pollution, deforestation, or any of the other shit that’s already causing ecosystems to collapse and entire species to go extinct?

          Climate change causes mass extinction, not total extinction. Nuclear war causes total extinction

            I genuinely doubt nuclear war would cause total extinction.

              Fortunately we have scientists who are smarter than you who have published studies showing it does

        Totally unrelated but as I’m reading this thread I’m listening to an audiobook and one of the characters said “End of all life on this planet” at practically the same time I read your comment.

            Eruption. Apparently Michael Crichton had a pet-project he was working on and his widow found an author to finish it…James Patterson.

            I never read any James Patterson, but it does have a feel like a lot of Michael Crichton books I loved like Jurassic Park or Andromeda Strain…building up “how the hell could we let this happen” with entirely plausible scenarios and science with only enough fantasy to make it work.
