I Love Nuclear Bombs!
Calum:
are you correcting me or agreeing with me?
i'm not convinced that it's possible to properly work out whether a nuclear winter, of whatever length, over whatever area is possible, probable or whatever, the weather's a complicated thing, they can't predict if it will rain over two days away, so how can they work that out?
just a thought.
skyman8081:
Correcting you. A nuclear winter scenario, is very a unlikely occurrance with todays arsenal.

--- Quote from: skyman8081 ---There was also a fear that the first nuclear detonation would light the atmosphere on fire.
Nuclear Winter, with the CURRENT arsenal, is simply not a feasable scenario. It's simply a fearmongering doomsday scenario, that is not likely to happen.

And Hiroshima was not the first Nuclear Detonation, that was the the 'Trinity' explosion at White Sands Missile Range, near Alamaguodo, NM. It was detonated on July 16, 1945.

That article is very interesting. It goes to show how slanted scientific studies can be when the scientists are looking for a particular answer.
skyman8081:
This is a nuke:
The DoD experimented with this for when a building absolutely positively had to be radioactive slag by the next day, SADM.
cahult:
But of course nature can up anything man can make. Volcanoes, earthquakes, meteorites, comets, supernovas. If Sirius, which is located 8 lightyears away from us should explode now we would have 8 years to prepare ourselves for the end. The radiation from a blast of that size would be enough to wipe out all life on earth, unless we run for shelter.
