Editors' Note: In this first issue of our Climate Change series Meredith Crafton argues that we need to resist the nuclear industry's corporate marketing blitz to promote nuclear power as a solution to global warming. Now more than ever, she says, we must learn from the past for the sake of our future. Nuclear power threatens human and environmental health and poses a grave risk to international peace and security.
