On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Brian Toon from the University of Colorado Boulder. He discusses the civilisation-ending impact nuclear war would have, 50-150 million people being killed by nuclear explosions alone in a hypothetical nuclear war between India and Pakistan, the harsh impacts of nuclear winter and why it is a credible extinction-level threat, the close call accidents and mistakes that have almost caused nuclear wars to begin, the threat of a large-exchange nuclear war between the US and the United States, the case for disarmament and much more.
