How Settled Is Climate Change Science?, Lessons From the Korean War, Experiencing a Nuclear Attack, and More (2017)
Show Notes
- Donald Trump pulled America out of the Paris climate change agreement. Is this, as some people say, dooming Earth to climatic disaster? The scientific consensus on how much human activity is affecting the climate isn’t nearly as unanimous as people would have us believe. Evidence shows the governments pushing for environmental regulations have another agenda.
- Why is North Korea so anti-American? One source says that it’s at least partly because of the way America fought the Korean War back in the 1950s. We’ll talk to a man who says no, that’s exactly the wrong lesson to take from that history.
- North Korea is one nation putting nuclear proliferation into the headlines. What would it be like to experience a nuclear attack? We’ll study some firsthand accounts of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to give us an idea.
- And I’ll finish off the program with a poem from one of our listeners on the trials of maintaining good posture.
