CANCELLED: Public Lecture: The Consequences of Nuclear War

Update Friday, March 13, 2020:
Please be advised this public lecture has been cancelled.

Original post:
The end of the Cold War saw the fear of nuclear war recede from the consciousness of much of society.
 
With the Trump administration’s foreign policy (withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, sabre-rattling and then negotiations with North Korea, the attack of post-WWII international organizations and alliances, and the recent withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia), the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock ahead to 100  seconds to midnight (the closest to catastrophe the clock has been since 1953 when the USSR first detonated a hydrogen bomb).
 
This talk by Dr. Mark Moldwin, a climate and space sciences and engineering professor from the University of Michigan, will describe the climate and space weather consequences of nuclear war to remind us of the apocalyptic fate of civilization that nuclear weapons can unleash.
