A Natural World special
Most people - and most governments - believe that following a nuclear war, no matter how terrible the effects of blast, fire and radiation might be, there would be unaffected areas from which civilisation might be rebuilt. But since 1982, scientific evidence has been accumulating that smoke and dust from a nuclear conflict could plunge the northern hemisphere into twilight for weeks, and cause temperatures to drop as much as 40° centigrade, with catastrophic effect on plants and animals.
This programme tells the story of accidental discovery and spare-time research in America, Russia and Britain, which suggests that for 30 years we have had the capacity to cause a 'nuclear winter'.

John Tusa chairs a debate on the issues raised by Threads and On the 8th Day.
What are the implications of the nuclear winter for civil defence policy and nuclear strategies? Can there be a limited nuclear war? Or is the chaos caused by a first nuclear exchange so great that major escalation is inevitable?
John Tusa explores these questions with politicians, defence analysts and military experts from both sides of the Atlantic.
