Meh. They have no credibility with me. Over the decades the "Atomic Scientists" seem to have gone political like everything else.
In this issue they soapbox about global warming, Trump(and this was written in Jan, 2017 only 1 week after Trump took office), Russia and the election(and this was published in January well before investigations had time do dig up hard evidence, which I haven't seen), fear that scary emerging technologies such as self-driving cars will outpace our ability to regulate them,..... They spend 7 pages soapboxing yet no mention of ISIS or terrorism.
They've reduced themselves to someone who has opinions and just wants to be heard.
