The problem with the entire concept of both nuclear weapons and the global
climate meltdown is that it too abstract for most people.  Without
concrete evidence of a catastrophe, people can easily dismiss it, either
as not being real or as overactive scientists, despite the occasional
reminder.

The only hope is that humanity dies out due to lower birth rates rather
than experiencing some form of a fiery death.
