Scientists are powerless, useless, unable to contribute much of anything to the most important issue facing humanity today. We should just forget about the scientists being any help, there's no point in even talking about them, or to them either. What can they do? Nothing. Nothing at all. They can get us in to lots of trouble, but they can't get us out.

First, you guys will invent a time machine.
The overriding problem is a total unwillingness of politicians to do anything about it.
The voting public has expressed its wish, many times. Like Hitler and George W Bush, Sphinctermouth Trumph has been elected by popular vote, and wherever there has been a choice, Joe Public has voted for the nuke party.
Fact is that they (nukes) are irrelevant to modern politics.
Scientists are weak, they are powerless, they are inept, clueless, they have no ability to address the most pressing challenges of our time, all they can do is sit by helplessly and wait for the end. Is that the message, am I getting it?
Nukes give the North Koreans the ability to bring the battle to the average American voter's doorstep. North Korean nukes are going to persuade the American people to wash their hands of South Korea and the whole problem, which will be the beginning of the end of our influence in Asia, increasingly the center of the world
No, that's the straw man you keep putting forward.Why do you do that?
'Smatterofact, mutual inspection already happens, despite BC's earlier statement.
Even allowing for the political "awkwardness" of this approach; it is already done to a degree.There are people working on ithttp://www.nti.org/about/projects/international-partnership-nuclear-disarmament-verification/And yet- even though the "technology" is simple- the mark 1 eyeball- we are unable to do it properly because of politics.
