As we work to arrest global warming, we must also mitigate the food security problems it will cause.

How to reduce South Asia's nuclear dangers
Jayita Sarkar, Rabia Akhtar, Mario E. Carranza
A
pair of fierce rivals, both nuclear-armed, face off across a contested
border—no wonder South Asia has sometimes been called the world's most
dangerous place. How can India and Pakistan manage nuclear risk so that
danger doesn't become catastrophe? Round one of our debate opens.
David Ropeik
Deep
fear of nuclear radiation is widespread, yet research on radiation’s
biological effects finds that the level of alarm far exceeds the actual
danger. From the subscription journal.

Korea’s fifth nuclear test confirms growing fears in the international
community that the regime’s nuclear aspirations reach much further than
once assumed. Pyongyang confirmed the test on September 9th, claiming
that it is now capable of mounting nuclear warheads on ballistic
missiles. Join our conversation with moderator Julian Borger of The Guardian,
while experts Suzanne DiMaggio, Mark Fitzpatrick, and Chung-in Moon
discuss what appears to be the most powerful nuclear test ever conducted
by North Korea.
Informed consent: What communities need to know about interim nuclear waste storage
Tami Thatcher
Communities
interested in hosting a nuclear waste storage facility need to take a
closer look at the Department of Energy’s track record to understand why
there is so little trust in the department’s ability to keep its
commitments.
What We're Reading
Take a spin on the Union of Concerned Scientists' terrifying interactive nuclear roulette wheel full of “close calls, screw ups, and nuclear near misses.” Read about California’s sweeping new climate law
that goes beyond the state’s previous goal of bringing emissions down
to 1990 levels by the end of this decade and calls instead for hitting
the “much more ambitious target” of 40 percent below 1990 levels by
2030. See why three bipartisan groups of the US military and national
security experts urge the country to adopt a new approach to climate change. |
