Reducing nuclear dangers requires social action and political advocacy. Research and writing alone are not sufficient. The impetus for eliminating nuclear weapons needs to come from the bottom up, from grass roots activism.
In the history of the atomic age, progress toward arms limitation has often been the result of social protest and organized political advocacy. The campaign of the scientists in the 1940s for civilian control of atomic energy, the movements and campaigns of the late 50s and early 60s to stop atmospheric nuclear testing, the freeze and disarmament campaigns of the 80s—all generated pressure for change and reduced the nuclear danger, at least partially.
