Willful ignorance of the global impact of nuclear war
Even a limited nuclear war could disrupt the climate, ecosystems, and global food supplies. Nuclear strategies and decisions should be required to factor in those potential consequences.

The impacts of Trump's campaign against American science will likely be profound, write John P. Holdren and Neal Lane. "The rapidly growing damage to the scientific pillar of American well-being and influence requires that Republican members of Congress stand up to rein Trump in."
thebulletin.org
Time for Congress to save American science…and the nation
"We believe the best hope for saving science and, perhaps, saving our form of democracy, is convincing at least a couple dozen Republican members of Congress that it’s up to them—that the stakes require exercising the prerogatives of the Congress to constrain excesses by the Executive Branch and resuming the serious conversations, debates, and compromise across the aisle and between the branches that used to be the way policy was made."
