I do know our history, and in October 1962 the odds of nuclear war were less than the odds of a climate apocalypse today, because they weren't 100%.

As bad as trump is, has he murdered 13 million innocent people yet?

Yet? No. But he is on course. The estimated number of deaths from his illegal USAID cuts is actually 14 million by 2030. That's one policy. I expect that number will be dwarfed by the long term impacts of his environmental policy. Then we have the pending excitement in Iran to worry about. A nation of 93 million people can throw at least a few million more lives on the pyre before all is done.
