Eli meant to behave but there were way too many options.

Eli Rabett, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

There are minions though, and they shall smite - with much prejudice...
They are the laws of physics, of thermodynamics, of nature. And we've broken them, and there will be an accounting.
Good luck with that...
Here's an opportunity for Russell to point out that "nuclear winter" would have only been a light frosty night or two:

The Day After and The Fire Next Time: Lessons in Big Message Storytelling
All storytelling is political in some way, conveying the biases, desires, and fears of the storyteller. But then there are stories with a direct political or social message, not so much woven into the narrative, but spoken outright. When this is done effectively, it can make people rethink the way they look at the world-but when it fails, it can be painful to sit through. Robert Repino compares and contrasts two examples of message-driven storytelling-the sensational 1983 television movie The Day After, which dealt with nuclear war, and the 1993 climate change saga The Fire Next Time-discussing the relative effectiveness and cultural impact of both attempts to dramatize and raise awareness of these critical issues.
Whether stopping the Russian tanks from rolling across Europe is going to work out well remains an open question ...
