Back burner of global warming

Everyone puts out of their minds the fact that several nations have weapons of mutual annihilation aimed at each other and at ready for immediate use. 

Global warming is on its inexorable march; a march that if not modified will not destroy life on earth but which could make life on earth for humans impossible.

Our military knows that global warming is an extreme national security threat. A major war caused by the effects of global warming seems inevitable.

What everyone appears to put out of their minds is that a sure fire end to global warming is "nuclear winter". I guess that's why they call it "unthinkable".
