Two global dangers face humanity: climate change and nuclear war. In the last few years, people have realized that the first was real.According to the US Global Change Research Program, Earth's climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily due to human activities. There continues to be a wide range of impacts across every region of the country and many sectors of the economy.Storms, hurricanes, and droughts happen far more often and are more deadly than in the past. However, although people fear nuclear weapons, they have no idea that one or two modern nuclear bombs are enough to kill all of us no matter who started the war. Whether we like it or not, we have to unite to save ourselves from these dangers.Are We Going to Commit Suicide? examines the history of climate change and examines what we need to do to save our planet.
