Climate catastrophe and nuclear war are two existential threats we face as a species. The issues are also connected. They are human-engineered problems that reinforce each other and that we have solutions for already - if we can overcome the misinformation, propaganda, and politicians corrupted by profiteering corporations.  How can peace activists, environmentalists and others working for justice work together on strategies that will address both of these crises?
