Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract In a global‐scale nuclear war, massive explosions, intense heat, and radioactive fallout would cause extensive harm to humanity and ecosystems. Further, previous studies of even regional‐scale nuclear conflicts show that the smoke from large‐scale fires caused by such weapons could lead to global‐scale ozone loss.

From “Modern Midas Mineral” to “Satanic Substance”: Uranium, Unions, and the Atomic Age
Australian Journal of Politics &History, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 735-752, December 2025.Uranium mining and export was a major flashpoint for political debate in 1970's Australia. However, there has been relatively little investigation into how uranium was understood and contested before this time. This paper draws on labour movement publications and other archival sources to reveal lesser‐known antecedents to the anti‐uranium movement in ...
