ABSTRACT
Climate change is not desirable and there is an international consensus for reducing human generated atmospheric greenhouse gases. Nuclear materials can poison food and water supplies, and no one can confidently predict the indefinite continuation of high levels of monitoring and the absence of natural or man-made disasters at nuclear sites. Reduce or eliminate pollution or contamination of air, water, or other species’ habitat. This maximises health benefits, reduces disease, and maximises food production and biodiversity. Equitable sharing of the finite resources will be a major challenge, but the case is not hard to make. Inequality leads to conflict, and modern warfare has the capability to render the planet uninhabitable even faster than fossil fuel emissions. Air pollution is so bad in many Asian cities that the effects on human health are becoming a cause for concern.
