What is your priority?

Good evening, Netizens...

This was all a campaign to highlight the threat of climate change. Did you turn your lights out? To put it a bit more succinctly, do you care?


Which would I rather see, half the world turn the lights on their big commercial building lights off over concern for world climate change or eliminating nuclear weapons from the world's arsenals? At the rate they are continuing to grow in numbers, won't nuclear weapons eventually get used unless someone stops the madness?


The question which I feel challenges us all, which is more likely to eliminate mankind as we know it to be, global warming or nuclear holocaust? We must stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
