Although many have forgotten about nuclear weapons, we shouldn't’\u003c\/strong\u003e - Charles Oppenheimer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours. A major missile exchange would mean months of near-total darkness, followed by a decade-long global nuclear winter that would destroy most life on Earth. Virtually everyone would starve in the resulting worldwide famine, and there would be no reliable refuge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are sleepwalking to Armageddon. There are no mass marches, no COPs, no nuclear Greta. But the climate experience teaches us that ignoring a problem is no solution, and that a worldwide mobilisation can work. \u003cem\u003eSix Minutes to Winter\u003c\/em\u003e presents an unflinching view of the nuclear nightmare, but also describes how weapons can be taken off hair-trigger alert and ultimately abolished altogether. If human civilisation is to survive long term, we have no alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432572174572,"sku":"9781399410519","price":48.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399410519.jpg?v=1774555270"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mark-lynas.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
