This is a clonal tree as well.

The risk of nuclear proliferation

And it also enhances nuclear weapons proliferation.

This is the clonal Creosote bush, which is around 12,000 years old.

Now if you consider the fact that nuclear weapons proliferation is associated with nuclear energy proliferation, because we know for example,

Looking to the future, the whole approach to nuclear non proliferation must change. It is no use lamenting the real danger of nuclear proliferation, while in practice standing idle as the Non Proliferation Treaty falls apart.

At that time, it was before the proliferation of video.

It starts to select out for those bad, aggressive cells, what we call clonal selection.

The proliferation hardening on this one, U 232, we've got protactinium.

They're incredibly safe, weapons proliferation proof and all the rest of it.

Almost all of these are not only small, they are proliferation proof.

This is clonal colony of Quaking Aspen trees, living in Utah, that is literally 80,000 years old.

We're seeing, along with that proliferation of mobile devices, an expectation of availability.

This is the clonal Mojave yucca, it's about a mile away, and it's a little bit older than 12,000 years.

So, unsignalized intersections, meaning stop signs, they save many lives, but there's an excessive proliferation of them.

In terms of proliferation, nuclear energy has done more to dismantle nuclear weapons than any other activity.

Almost all of our treaties that we've signed, including the non proliferation, counter proliferation treaties, chemical treaties you know, the ones that were signed recently, the last few years, uh, you know, back maybe a decade now, I guess.

France and the United States have a legal obligation to do so under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.

It risks triggering a nuclear arms race in the region, and the unraveling of the non proliferation treaty.

So we're seeing a rise of this availability being driven by mobile device proliferation, globally, across all social strata.

But you know what the problem is. Today, with the proliferation of devices and smartphones, everyone's photos get lost.

I can't extol to you how great having something buried below the ground is for proliferation and security concerns.

And so with all these crises, we have let's see ethnic and minority tensions we have chemical and nuclear spills, nuclear proliferation.

The risk of nuclear proliferation for use in military terms, you don't even have to look at those issues for nuclear to fail.

This is why we spend our time talking about things like gay marriage and not about genocide or nuclear proliferation or poverty or any other hugely consequential issue.

This also turns out to be the best way to cope with global challenges climate change, nuclear proliferation, energy insecurity, energy poverty all of which make us less safe.

And cancer is originating in the lung trying to repair because you have this excessive proliferation of these remarkable cells that really have the potential to become lung tissue.

Both aimed to encourage the creation and proliferation of new ideas by providing a brief and limited period of exclusivity, a period where no one else could copy your work.

France does not respect treaties it signs indeed, it violates the spirit of the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by funding the installation of the Megajoule Laser indeed, it violates the spirit of the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by funding the installation of the Megajoule Laser which will allow the development of miniature nuclear weapons being sub critical, and therefore increase the already high risk of local premeditated and unmarked nuclear disasters.

No refueling means you can seal them up and they're not going to be a proliferation risk, and they're not going to have either nuclear material or radiological material proliferated from their cores.

So there's some kind of tension between on the one hand explosion of sub problems, a proliferation of sub problems and the fact that successive subproblems only have to solve smaller and smaller subproblems.

Russia should be treated as a major power, which means consultations on important global issues. Its voice should be heard on matters ranging from terrorism and weapons proliferation to global climate change and energy policy.

I think in the future, we're going to see an explosion, a proliferation, a profusion of domain specific languages languages that aren't trying to be C or Java but are trying to solve a very particular problem and do it quite well.

And everywhere too, you can see a proliferation of time banks and parallel currencies, people using smart technologies to link up all the resources freed up by the market people, buildings, land and linking them to whomever has got the most compelling needs.

I mean, the proliferation of Indian restaurants since I first went abroad as a student, in the mid '70s, and what I see today, you can't go to a mid size town in Europe or North America and not find an Indian restaurant.

So in the endless proliferation of faces that Self Evident Truths is always becoming, as it hopefully appears across more and more platforms, bus shelters, billboards, Facebook pages, screen savers, perhaps in watching this procession of humanity, something interesting and useful will begin to happen.

I'd just like to say that we're in this era of communications and device proliferation, and it's really tremendous and exciting and sexy, but I think what's really important is thinking about how we can simultaneously maintain a sense of wonder and a sense of criticality about the tools that we use and the ways in which we relate to the world.
