The Controversial Science of Nuclear Winter

A collaboration with the RAND Corporation, On Seeking Truth is a film that explores our relationship with the facts and the importance of examining our own beliefs when they run counter to the science.

    I will be glad if someone provides me with a source of information about 20m in "Stalin" column, because the historical researches shows less than 2.6m. Also, in the same reason, there's a question about 1 million death in gulag during WWII, because there were no more than 9.5m prisoners(maximum 2m in one moment) in period 1921-1952. Moreover, USSR's demographics has only one hole(1941-1946) during Stalin's ruling. Every single life is matter, but lies desecrate the lives of people who died during this time. Sources: V.N.Zemskov.

    You highligted a problem concerning COVID, concentrating mostly on acute risks, when the virus also has severe long-term consequences of which all are not yet known, but based on what we know, the unknowns most likely have something to do with strokes and dementia. One study has already shown IQ loss of about 3-10% on those with symptomatic disease, but this hasn't really caused too much public interest, which one might find at least a bit peculiar. Our biggest failure concerning COVID as a lesson has been to ignore the accumulated data about airborne transmission and how to use it to prevent future pandemics. I would be prone to guess we will more likely to extinguish ourselves by ignoring it and being almost as unprepared in the face of the next super virus as we were with corona virus than blowing ourselves up with nukes.

    On the point of: “the US is less vaccinated than other rich countries, where vaccines are widely available, and we’ve died in greater numbers as a result.” …. Isn’t that a pretty reductionist way of looking at that issue? The United States also has the highest obesity rate of all the other large, high-income countries, and obesity also has a very significant effect on Covid mortality (obesity is highly correlated with COVID mortality rates). It seems paradoxical to talk about the importance of truth and facts, and then make a sweeping claim based on one single metric of a nuanced issue.

    @NeilHalloran kudos for your courage in sharing inaccurate moments in prior videos. As someone who works in large corporate communications, I am keen aware of the compromise and political maneuvering folks can take to push messages their way, and therefore read everything with a very healthy does of skeptics. However, I believe the IPCC reports (esp. the exec summaries) have underplayed the fullest extent of the report itself. And the very methodology requiring a large number of scientist to sign off (i.e., building by committee). Lastly, I would add the UK's Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) report, The Emperor’s New Climate Scenarios, feel risk are potential understated, or as they put it “…climate-change scenario modelling… exclude many of the most severe impacts… the results emerging from the models are far too benign… they do not communicate the level of risk adequately. More dangerously, the artificially benign results can easily serve as an excuse for delaying action…” You have properly recognized the risk of underplaying world-altering risks, so hope you appreciate my efforts to do likewise.
