Not sure if this is a comparison with targeting young earthers in the last episode. But if it is, it's different because nuclear war and climate change both have significant implications to the mass population, whereas younger earthers are really just one interest group. It'd be nice if they knew better, but really, no one is gonna die because of the existence of young earthers.
