It features illustrations of barren glaciers, some of which are burning, to demonstrate the apocalyptic content referenced in some of the songs.<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIdioteque\u201d was released by British rock band Radiohead in October 2000 as part of their fourth studio album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kid A<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. One of Radiohead\u2019s most critically acclaimed songs, \u201cIdioteque,\u201d is an experimental electronic beat, unlike the band\u2019s usual alternative rock sound.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to their musical artistry, Radiohead is known for their politicized lyrics and social commentary. For instance, their third album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OK Computer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (1997), featured a critique of Western society surrounding issues of overreliance on technology and mental health. The message of \u201cIdioteque\u201d is equally strong and compelling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can listen to the song <a style=\"font-size: 1rem\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=svwJTnZOaco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and read the lyrics<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 1rem\" href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Radiohead-idioteque-lyrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> here<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How is this related to climate?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIdioteque,\u201d tells the story of a fictional apocalyptic wasteland created by a nuclear Ice Age. While band members have not explicitly come out and explained the exact meaning behind the lyrics, the song has been attributed to anthropogenic climate change. It offers a vision of the world ravaged by human destruction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first verse describes women and children in a bunker, taking shelter from the treacherous conditions of the frozen wasteland. The second verse includes the lines, \u201cIce Age coming, Ice Age coming, throw him in the fire.\u201d Here, Radiohead explores the consequences of a nuclear war on the global climate system. \u201cIce Age\u201d refers to the prolonged period of global cooling that would follow a nuclear war. \u201cFire\u201d possibly refers to massive fires caused by the blasts.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Burning of asphalt, concrete, and other building materials in metropolitan areas would produce sooty smoke containing black carbon, which absorbs solar radiation very efficiently. The thick smoke would not allow solar radiation to penetrate through the atmosphere, causing surface temperatures to plummet (image below), similar to the short-term effects of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/the-eruption-of-mount-tambora-1815-1818\/\">volcanic eruptions<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1604\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1604\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1604\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/nuclear-winter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/nuclear-winter.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/nuclear-winter-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/nuclear-winter-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/nuclear-winter-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/nuclear-winter-624x359.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1604\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diagram of the effects of nuclear war on the environment and climate (from How It Works Team, 2015). The illustrations of the ash cloud and incoming sunlight demonstrate how smoke from nuclear fires absorbs solar radiation high in the atmosphere, causing surface temperatures to drop.<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The concept of nuclear winter was first introduced in the 1980s, during the height of the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. In 1983, American scientist Dr. Carl Sagan, along with his collaborators, released a study modeling the climatic effects of a nuclear war. They found that such a war would trigger a nuclear winter. In this event, global temperatures would drop, and the planet would no longer be able to support agriculture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A 2019 study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research predicted the impact of the U.S. and Russia\u2019s nuclear arsenals on global temperatures and precipitation using an updated climate model (maps below). The model calculated that global surface temperatures would drop an average of 10\u00b0C (18\u00b0F) and surface solar radiation would decrease by 75% for the first few years of a nuclear winter. Precipitation patterns would also transform. Monsoon cycles would halt and subtropical deserts would receive increased rainfall. All of these altered climate factors would make agriculture nearly impossible for at least 15 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For these reasons, many of the world\u2019s most powerful nations agree that nuclear war must never happen. In January 2022, the U.S., Russia, China, the U.K., and France signed a pledge agreeing to avoid nuclear war at all costs. The global nuclear powers committed to preventing disagreements from escalating to nuclear conflicts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1605\" style=\"width: 1372px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1605\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-11-at-10.51.51-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1362\" height=\"792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-11-at-10.51.51-AM.png 1362w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-11-at-10.51.51-AM-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-11-at-10.51.51-AM-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-11-at-10.51.51-AM-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/www.science.smith.edu\/climatelit\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/97\/2023\/07\/Screen-Shot-2023-07-11-at-10.51.51-AM-624x363.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1362px) 100vw, 1362px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1605\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Map of global temperature changes one year after a simulated nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia.
