In Episode #240, Mark Lynas joins Osi to confront one of the most urgent and underdiscussed threats facing humanity today: nuclear war. They discuss why nuclear war poses a far more immediate danger than climate change, the troubling lack of public awareness and political will, and consider what actions can still be taken to pull us back from the brink.
