I am very concerned about both global warming and nuclear war and worldwide pollution. IMO, the global warming is straight forward problem we must address as quickly as we can. The effects will be so severe as to be unimaginable. As you posted acidification of the oceans, massive flooding and who knows maybe a Permian age type extinction once the methane starts melting. This is a really bad problem we must address with total seriousness. The increasing open water in the arctic and antarctic ocean during the summers is going to add a huge variable we cannot quantify. Flooding will be the first big problem and it will be huge. As far a nuclear war goes, not only have we come close several times, but statisticians have worked out probability tables and say a nuclear war in the not too distant future is a near certainty if we don't get rid of them. And now that we have massive nuclear proliferation on the horizon it gets just so much worse. Humans are much too stupid and crazy to control nuclear weapons. Just take a good look at the Republican leadership. Anyone there, any of us would trust with nuclear weapons? And add to all of the above the widespread dissemination of mercury and radiation. Worldwide pollution is another serious problem.
