The Atlantic bemoans that nuclear war would ‘prove disastrous for climate change’
March 13, 2022 | Robert Jonathan
The Atlantic appears to be demonstrating that it has its priorities in order… the question being is it the proper order?
An essay in the liberal publication that Fox News host Tucker Carlson previously described as a shameless corporate mouthpiece and a place for the ruling class to talk to itself warns that a nuclear war prompted by the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine could be really bad for the environment.
To his credit, the author points out that a so-called no-fly zone over Ukraine (which many neocons and neolibs seem to be advocating) could be ruinous in that it could lead to a exchange of nuclear warheads between the U.S. and Russia.
But he then added, “And it would be worse for the climate than any energy policy that Donald Trump ever proposed.”
“I mean this quite literally,” staff writer Robinson Meyer continued. “If you are worried about rapid, catastrophic changes to the planet’s climate, then you must be worried about nuclear war. That is because, on top of killing tens of millions of people, even a relatively ‘minor’ exchange of nuclear weapons would wreck the planet’s climate in enormous and long-lasting ways.”
