Today I'm joined by Owen Brian Toon, a professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the University of Colorado. Brian's research on the asteroid impact that extinguished the dinosaurs led to the discovery of nuclear winter, and he has since spoken out about the dangers of nuclear war. Brian received the 2022 Future of Life award for popularising the science of nuclear winter and thus reducing the risk via education. In this episode we discuss the possibility of nuclear world war, the after-effects of atomic impact, and how long society would take to rebuild from such catastrophe. Enjoy...I guess?
