All part of your current game, isn't it? With your hierarchies and yourself unwilling to take any responsibility for anything. The game is built on blame. It needs it, and 'new leaders'. That's how it handles itself.

So now you might wonder who is 'protected' from it. The real answer is no one. But in theory it will be your hierarchies, with you coming last. It may differ, Sweden for example spent some money building 'bunkers' at the height of the cold war, between USA and the USSR. How good they are today I don't know. But we had another ideology than the one we have today at that time. A ideology centered on the citizens, and another economy too.

How it looks where you live?
Google it.

And that's another funny thing, showing how inconsequentially we behave. All Super Powers are modernizing their nuclear capability today, spending trillions on it, but do you see them build any bunkers? So they are preparing for a all out nuclear war, without giving you the opportunity of hiding from its effects. And considering modern electronics and communications and their vulnerability a 'first strike' is becoming more and more important for them all.   Retaliating is losing time.

and they will do it to 'protect you'

I can guarantee one thing though. That there always will be idiots thinking that they can protect themselves both from a nuclear war, and global warming. Also that I expect a larger percentage of those to exist in your hierarchies, than outside them.

No, the BBC coverage of global warming is somewhat of a fluke.  Related to this

"Our Planet Then and Now will continue up to the UN climate summit in Glasgow, which is due to start in November 2021"

ah, well. It is a political organ, isn't it?

It's funny how your hierarchies fine comb what you need to know, for your own good. It's in no way a conspiracy, it's more like a unwritten agreement on your abilities to understand. And it seem to come into place once you lifted yourself up to a position where you might be heard.

If the BBC is prepared to discuss global warming it seems mostly as related to the UK. Which in one way makes eminent sense, in another becomes quite meaningless as it avoids what's happening outside.

It's worldwide, isn't it?

A combination and mixture of different effects, and drivers, coming together strengthening each other. A so called 'Earth system' losing all balance. A free fall.

Those are good though. Our age of extinction.

A human system, built on fast profits and inequality. Creating a religion shared all over the world, no matter if they're friends or foes.

You think that religion matters, don't you? That it is to blame? How about the religion above.

Their type of 'protecting you' based on themselves and their peers. And you lifting them up.
