Excellent coverage of an under-discussed topic
The format is much copied (cf. The Enquiry and The Briefing Room on BBC) But the questioning is good and the answers are taught. I have yet to hear a serious discussion about a pre-emptive nuclear strike. The fear of using nuclear weapons is understandable, but they just do the same job with less material. With the world’s population of humans on course for 11 billion, with the strong likelihood that average global temperatures will surpass 2°C, with the increasing buildup of weapons across the world and the increasing polarisation of nations into three large blocs as Orwell predicted, the Rugby referee’s warning ‘use it or lose it’ must start to be worth considering. A pre-emptive nuclear strike - presumably by an American end-of-days Christian president- would simultaneously lower the human population and global average temperatures. Humans would continue, but much chastened, and the planet would have a second chance.
