“Why
is Uncle Pete so stubborn and so resistant to overwhelming scientific
evidence?” That's a very good question, and here is the answer. Editor’s note: This article is adapted from a presentation at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ annual dinner, held on November 14 in Chicago.

How
can people with true expertise in major global threats help the Trump
administration to take actions that protect humanity in the long-term?
Science and Security Board member Sharon Squassoni
joins in by focusing on the long game, wondering whether the Trump
administration could be influenced to reduce rather than increase
nuclear risks; climate scientist Robert Socolow
believes that climate policy and science itself may be at risk over the
next four years, and outlines some actions that will provide the needed
counterweight to an administration that so far seems bent on trashing
climate science.

Rajesh Rajagopalan posts his second installment in our new debate
on China's role in the nuclear order by observing that the disconnect
between China's stated policy and its actual actions are so divergent
that one must ask whether the two are really the same.

This week we look at the latest issue of The Economist,
which features some of the best analyses of what has happened in the US
election — and what it could mean for national security, global
warming, the nuclear arms race, and other issues of concern to Bulletin readers.
