/k/ likes to say that "nuclear winter" isn't reali, however, disagree; yet not for the reason you may think!from 1400 to 1800, the "little ice age occurred"it is now believed that it was caused in part by a series of mass depopulation events - black death, mongol invasions, native american plagues, etcwith the lack of humans able to cultivate land for their own uses & produce gasses by mere living, reforested land was able to sequester vast amounts of carbon, resulting in a vast lowering of global temperatures if nuclear war were to occur, billions would most likely die, in addition to a collapse of industrythe now unused land which would be reforested, and expungement of populations both humans & animal, would lead to another lowering of global temperaturesto add to this, its been seen that when a sharp drop-off in temperature rapidly occurs, it is further exacerbated thereof, plunging temperatures even lowerin short>big boom >man die>warm gas leave>cold now
>billions would most likely die,There won't be that many deaths from nuclear war. Most people don't live in civilization centers and even those that do aren't going to die just because a bomb went off in a city.
>>64555092westerners, sureindia and china would go into famine day 1 though
>fsb nuke scare posting again>not even trying to /k topicpic. rel.If nukes were as bad or scary countries wouldn't stockpile them and force each other to abolish them completely. There's nothing magically apocalyptic about them. Just the same death and suffering any world war would bring.And if anyone was really serious about using them as a minimum they'd underground test and demonstrate *successful* ICBM hits. And no, randomly spraying molten metal debris of supposed RV oreshnik style isn't a successful warhead delivery.
>>64555160There aren't enough usable nukes to hit every Chinese or Indian city with half a million inhabitants or more, never mind destroying them. People aren't going to starve because Beijing or Delhi are glassed.
>>64555280>fsbits just a thought i had in the shower after thinking about the 1700'si've never heard anyone else say it before, so i figured i'd post it on here>>64555283they'll starve when their dams collapse & flood their basins, destroying their infrastructure you don't think the 3 gorges dam getting fucked would do anything to china? (i don't know what india has besides cow shit, so just imagine something thats also bad)
>gets his threads deleted and yet still persistsI mean that's cool I guess.Anyways it was totally a nuke.
>>64555346i'm not mike & this isn't about an ammo depot, you illiterate
>>64553923Toropets faggot, is that you?
>>64553923>if nuclear war were to occur, billions would most likely dieBased on what?>>64555335This topic has been extensively studied. There are mountains upon mountains of papers, reports, models on post nuclear war recovery scenarios.>>64555351Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this, because you sure a shit type like him.
>>64555366>Based on what?probably the big fucking bombs>This topic has been extensively studied. There are mountains upon mountains of papers, reports, models on post nuclear war recovery scenarios.so am i wrong or what?>Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this, because you sure a shit type like him.i type like a regular ass persondo you fuckers have a mind virus that turns any nuke discussion into schizo ramblings or some shit?
>>64553923Yes, it had absolutely nothing to do with the big ball of hot plasma in the sky. It was purely man-made, and the solution to both heat and cold is... socialism (with the "right" people in charge, of course). We get it already.
>>64555384>probably the big fucking bombsSo your opinion.>so am i wrong or what?Yes.>i type like a regular ass personIf multiple people independently look at how you type and call you schizo. You are schizo.
>>64555404>So your opinion.i didn't know nuclear war was such a small event>Yes.[citation needed]>If multiple people independently look at how you type and call you schizo. You are schizo.yeah, i'm sure the people who saw "nuke" then stopped reading really have some valuable input hereif your only basis for doubling down on calling me schizo is spammer fatigue, then you're a genuine retard
>>64555429>i didn't know nuclear war was such a small eventIt isn't, it's possible millions may die. However, that doesn't make nuclear winter likely as an outcome because it requires specific steps to trigger, if trigger able.>[citation needed]If you're making the assertion, it's on you to provide evidence. Don't bother citing the original study or it's later derivatives.
>>64555463>It isn't, it's possible millions may die.its a little more than just "possible"the top 5 most populated cities of china & india, combine into a total 152,684,248that many people dying, along with the hit that would take place in global industry, would lead to a MASSIVE lowering of carbon emissionsyes, its not literally everyone, yet that doesn't just magically replace all the shit thats been destroyedthink of the drop in global trade that would occurall those boats, trucks, and planes going nowhere; factories all paused because of a lack of materials & partsthe knock-on effect would cause a drop off in carbon emissions like we've never seenironically, we'd probably have to deliberately set off a volcano just to make up for it all
>>64555565You're acting on the assumption that cities make up the bulk of targets.
>>64553923mius a few million we would just be back in the 1970s your theory is brainlet
>>64553923minus a few billion we would just be back in the 1970s your theory is brainlet>>64553923>to a collapse of industrynope
>>64555335>they'll starve when their dams collapse & flood their basins, destroying their infrastructure They literally did that in WW2 and yet there was no measurable drop in temperatures in the aftermath.Contrary to popular opinion the three gorges dam is not going to end in a giant floodwave that will flow down to Shanghai.
>>64555565Blowing up the central government buildings in Beijing isn't going to kill more than a few tens of thousands.Tokyo had a population of 7 million before WW2 and only 100,000 died from bombs and firestorms (same for the 1923 earthquake). And that's with easily destroyed wood&paper buildings.
