The three worst things about the Trump presidency, to me, are the potential damage to democracy itself in our country, the potential for nuclear war (at this point, more and more likely to be with North Korea, but the other nuclear powers are sure to get involved), and worse than either of those, from a global extinction standpoint, is global warming. We're dangerously close to that tipping point. Four years of one of the biggest polluters in the world going unchecked is crazy dangerous. Losing democracy in America would be awful for us, but humanity can survive one nation being insufferable to it's own citizens (it happens all the time). Yes, I think we could recover from thermonuclear war better than we can from a runaway greenhouse effect. The carbon isn't even the worst of it. It's the methane locked up in a lot of permafrost. If that breaks free, we could eliminate carbon emissions completely and STILL be doomed.
Oh, and I don't think Russia benefiting from us pulling out monetary support from other countries is any coincidence, do you? (Though I'm sure Trump's too dumb to figure out he's being used.)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
