consequences of action, and inaction.”<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://default.salsalabs.org/Ta40ddf84-42c3-473e-b791-38682c06a7d5/e081e176-f60b-4371-b5ea-9f34d72c618f" class="">https://default.salsalabs.org/Ta40ddf84-42c3-473e-b791-38682c06a7d5/e081e176-f60b-4371-b5ea-9f34d72c618f</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The tragedy Chomsky has in mind concerns Climate Change and a conceivable nuclear conflagration… under Trump tutelage. </div></body></html>
