Twice. What most people seem to miss about it is that it's not only about impending climate chaos and serial catastrophes, but also it's about the increasing probability of nuclear war, extinction of us all, end of civilization. Either one will wipe us out. Many are seeing that as a good thing. Oh, the irony.

The other irony is that it isn't the mouth-breathing MAGA set that is charging towards nuclear holocaust, but the self-styled Best And Brightest, the credentialed and highly educated, the Folks Who Believe The Science.

Most mouth-breathers don't have any real power, while the "best and brightest" believe power is best expressed by destroying everything standing in your way. Russia, China, Iran--they must be eliminated. And then we all die? So be it. Power has spoken.
