If there really is such a nebulous thing as the Earth having a 'Global Consciousness', that consciousness must surely be blinking red. There are far too many humans, and we are having a far too damaging impact on the Earth's precariously-balanced systems.
When plant or animal populations are stressed due to resource insufficiency, they self-regulate to reduce populations. Assume it's reasonable that the human Collective Consciousness would have that same inbred inclination.
Supposing that our collective sense is indeed that the current path is one to doom. What would our unconscious collective will desire?
Fewer people and a cooler planet.
What is the quickest, easiest way to get there? Nuclear war.
Sure, many tems of millions will die horribly (maybe even someone you know), but the unplanned geo-engineering of nuclear war just might halt the warming enough to save Miami Beach, Lower Manhattan, and Venice (well, maybe not).
It's no accident that disaster movies resonate with us, at a deep level. Maybe the Trump Presidency* is simply the vehicle our Collective Consciousness has created, to prod us to DO SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE ICE-CAPS SOON.
Furthermore, Trump blundering the world into a 'nuclear exchange' would save a lot of Republican legislators from actually having to vote for carbon-taxes and Green tax-credits. Then, once it's over, we can allocate more tens of billions of dollars to refresh the nuclear inventory.
Everybody (well, not exactly everybody) wins.
