The future of humankind and the plan­et are in dan­ger from the twin exis­ten­tial threats of ter­mi­nal nuclear war and cli­mate cat­a­stro­phe. The response? The Biden admin­is­tra­tion is fol­low­ing through on Pen­ta­gon plans to ​“mod­ern­ize” its nuclear arse­nal. Instead of elim­i­nat­ing these weapons of mass destruc­tion, we are upgrad­ing them. And the clock is tick­ing loud­er and loud­er on the cli­mate emer­gency. The response? A mas­sive new oil drilling project in Alas­ka. Seem illog­i­cal? Not real­ly. These are the kinds of out­comes you can expect when lunatics run the asylum.
