Thanksgiving advice: How to deal with climate change denying Uncle Pete   Richard C. J. Somerville “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.   The cyber threat in outer space   Patricia Lewis, David Livingstone   Satellites form the exoskeleton of the world’s critical infrastructure—and they’re seriously vulnerable to cyber attacks. How the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources will affect world security   The latest subscription journal is now online at Taylor & Francis with a mix of free-access and subscription-only articles. The Nuclear Roundup is now at the Bulletin Sign up to receive Jodi Lieberman's Nuclear Roundup. Discover why so many readers find this daily summary of nuclear-related news simply indispensable.   The experts, and the Trump administration   Lawrence J. Korb, Alan Robock, John Mecklin, Frank von Hippel, Robert Socolow, Sharon Squassoni   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.     China and nonproliferation: Divergence between policy and action   Hua Han, Gregory Kulacki, Rajesh Rajagopalan   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.     What We're Reading   Dan Drollette Jr.   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.   Support the Bulletin's Next Generation on #GivingTuesday     Emma Hansen, University of Toronto, and Zian (Zane) Liu, UC Berkeley   Next #GivingTuesday, November 29th, the Bulletin is dedicating all contributions we receive to the very important effort of recruiting and publishing today's emerging leaders. Help us publish authors like Emma Hansen and Zian (Zane) Liu by making a donation to this effort, and know you are supporting the Bulletin's Next Generation of authors and researchers.   Use the hashtags #GivingTuesdayBAS and #BulletinNextGen on your social networks to increase the Bulletin’s reach and fundraising potential.
