I keep getting surprised by how many people aren't familiar with the concept of nuclear winter today. This is so important to talk about and this video does a fantastic job of telling the story. I'm grateful to have learned more about the humans responsible for this crucial knowledge coming to light and that they are getting the recognition they deserve - congratulations to all and thank you for everything you've done for us all.
Nuclear winter was a myth designed for political/pacifist reasons. Done with good intentions but still a terrible misdeed, undermining the public's trust in science. We cannot afford to perpetuate scientific falsehoods. Let's be honest. th-cam.com/video/KzpIsjgapAk/w-d-xo.html
It's because nuclear winter is bullsh!t. Its premise is false since it's based on data from volcanic eruptions which are chemically completely different animals to fires caused by nuclear blasts. Also, the amount of nuclear weapons tested in the atmosphere during the 50's should have caused noticeable cooling if the hypothesis had any grounding in reality, which it doesn't, the best comparisons we have are forest fires, which don't cause cooling.
Every article reporting on calls for escalation over Ukraine and Taiwan should IMHO comment on what would actually happen if things went nuclear, and ask what's being done to reduce this risk. The less we talk about nuclear winter, the more likely we are to create one.
A bit of a disconnect there Max, the US is not going to give any such weapons to the Fascists running Ukraine, nor is Russia going to use theirs in any scenario in Ukraine. Please don't diminish your standing with random fear mongering. I had a college roommate in 76 who left MIT because the whole place is one giant defense contractor, I wonder what you think your machine learning is for but military application? Helping single mothers pay for a root canal rather than having an extraction?
@@johnsmith1474 Russia is becoming more desperate and procuring ICBMs to use in Ukraine, as a result the US is deploying Patriot missile defense systems and no Ukrainian can operate these systems without years of training so, it will have to be Americans operating them. Nuclear war is an inevitable consequence of conventional war with Russia, it'll start with tactical nuclear weapons and quickly escalate to strategic. In every DOD simulation, this is the end result when tactical nuclear are used either side.
It is unfortunate that we often don't know people whose contributions to society are very significant. Thanks for creating this video and educating me about people who helped understand the full effects of a large-scale nuclear war.
So, even if you don't participate in the nuclear battle, you still suffer... all people are slowly starved by the collapse of our agricultural ecosystem. It seems clear to me that the costs of any nuclear conflict far, far outweigh the benefits. We owe these heroes a great debt for their will and determination!
Hundreds of nukes have been tested above ground, and nothing much happened. And the nuclear winter scenario is now generally accepted to be a myth... These people had good intentions, but they knowinlgy overstated the effects.
Difficult to take this video seriously because it doesn’t mention the distinction between ground bursts and air bursts, and doesn’t mention all the criticism of the nuclear winter theory.
I simply feel privileged to have received this gift called life. I had the pressure to experienced the small moments with friends and family and will never forget it. I'm going to spend my last moment with my wife, daughter, my sister and her family. Good bye to all.
I've been aware of this for 40 years, so find it sad that many people haven't heard about it or need a refresh. Maybe we should put the whole world on pause to view this and internalize the message? The nice cosmopolitan accent in this video certainly makes the message palatable. It's clear as a fractal when you look at boxers get into a ring that eventually punches are going to be thrown, so we're not in a good position with all of these ultra-powerful weapons moving into the future. (By the way, today's news informs us that there was yet another mass killing in the USA today - it's only a matter of time before something happens. When not if.
Are you aware mainstream science has all but debunked nuclear winter and that it would’ve been debunked a long time ago but for political reasons it was academically untouchable for decades?
Point of correction: “End of your part of the world” I checked the nukes range and I’ll be just fine in my little hut 🛖 far away from all the b.s. a little nuclear winter isn’t something we can’t survive up here.
well, for "you and your hut" it is even better if the masses from the big cities get stopped from leaving the city looking for food ... (but maybe it is better to keep it a secret...)
Globally, there is a Lack of 'state will' to disarm nuclear arsenal. Absence of 'will to disarm' is what makes the nuclear winter a highly likely future event.
You can’t put the genie back in the bottle. If you disarm, but your opponent doesn’t, they can bully you forever. And since the science to build nukes exist, someone somewhere will always build one.
@@gameragodzilla Disarmament of Nuclear warheads can't be realised by one such state. No such state would be willing. It has to be realised across the globe. You are right in saying that 'science to build nukes exist', but so does the science to build biological weapons exist. The difference is bio weapons are non existent (one can say that). It is all about the state will to get rid of Nuclear warheads, like bio weapons. Nuclear war isn't war with swords. It has the potential to wipe out human race (MAD). World won't be at peace unless and until we have WMDs free World!
@@Rouvmut What are you talking about? Covid-19 exists because of a Chinese bio weapon lab, even if they just call it “gain of function research”. WMDs will always exist so long as humans exist, because the person with WMDs will always be at an advantage over the person without, and the only way to counter WMDs is with WMDs of your own.
@@Rouvmut The fact that there’s the Wuhan Institute of Virology that was confirmed to be performing gain of function research on the Covid virus, and the fact that I know from personal experience (I’m Chinese) that Chinese sanitation standards are horrible. Also, Saddam used chemical weapons against the Kurds in Iraq back in the 90’s. The only reason chemical and biological WMDs aren’t as common anymore is simply because nuclear weapons are way better, so resources are spent building and maintaining those. It has nothing to do with “will”. If nukes didn’t exist, we’d be pointing lots of biological and chemical weapons at each other.
Inspiring to learn about the multidisciplinary work of these heroes that led to significant improvements in our understanding of the risk of nuclear war. I hope similar multidisciplinary efforts can do the same for other dangerous technologies in the future.
There's a book I bought called The Cold and the Dark. Its about the Russians and TAPPS team discussing about what this video is about. Buy a copy while they are still around. Glad I own the book and by far my favorite book and subject.
Congratulations to these pioneers and amazing humans! This highlights how key it is to share important information like this to keep us all thriving on this planet. Hopeful for a future of self-awareness, peace and shared humanity.
Even if it was middle eastern war and i had a huge stockpile of canned food the idea of not seeing the sun for a decade, no thanks, youd also need a stockpile of vitamin d supplements.
People talking about nuclear winter as if it were a real thing have not done their homework. Y'all are talking about the original calcs done by physicists who were neither climatoligists nor meteorologists, and they somehow managed to ignore the cleansing effects of the world's OCEANS and the storms thereon. Once the oceans were taken into effect, "nuclear winter" effectively disappears. Have a nice day, find something else to worry about if that's your nature.
If it takes place in the North, as that model predicts then , South Africa, Argentina , Chile, Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica, might be the safest places to be....
Thanks for presenting all this evidence shown in nice flowers, faces, pictures of politicians and political events. Compared to a Pinatubo all nuclear bombs combined are pretty much a joke in regards to relevant amounts of particles blown into the required hights of the atmosphere. ...I`d consider this belive into Nuclear Winter a dangerous wishthinking - but since i do not live even close to a bigger city, i do not really care. The biggest threat is the masses of people in these big cities, so ... the bombs are the answer here. It is all about keeping order and control over chaos. The rest is a game.

11/10/22 The 2nd time I walked outside today, I was IMMEDIATELY hit by burning nostrils and the horrendous smell one gets when working around Clorox too long. It immediately went away when I came back indoors. Window about 20ft away remains opened. I had stepped out around 9am to open the gate; no smell. I have been hit several times with energies that made ZONE OUT & DIZZY; phone was also interfered with. In ways, made me think of several BLASTS. Thus far TODAY, I've NOT received energies that knock me out, as if I was in surgery, like happened several times yesterday. I have yet to resume the various things which did my blood so well these last years. Perhaps within the next week or two? It's presently 12:08pm OH ... I came here after touching a researcher in video I recently shared about Mississippi River. Possibly 2016 is when John at the Crossroads told me that water in this general area of state, or possibly just below the dam, tested FAR WORSE than the problems in Michigan. AR is NOT REQUIRED or monitored by EPA? I forget what he told me. I do recall that was the first time I remember hearing about CERN. 🤪 I'm sick of not being able to QUIT ASSISTING!
Frankly, the sense of cosmopolitan common interest, presented here has been lost after the Cold War - having been replaced with another wave of ideological zeal that turns military conflict within the context of a 'security competition' into *_a war of religion_* . The current question can't be, anymore how to demonstrate the low survivability and thereby folly of nuclear procurement and deployment - but solely _'how to bypass deterrence'_ and _'how to mitigate the effects of nuclear winter'_ for a sufficient portion of a population - much the way, how e.g. Isaac Asimov had imagined his 'Foundation' series... That is *_what we will be going to do_* - not negotiating any conflict of interests or an outright 'othering'.
I think that how the situation of parts of the world, the nuclear treatning is higher then ever before look how many problems there are right now and it's climbing it's not only war but the overpopulation is also a problem think as water food destroying of nature
What if only 10% of nuclear warheads were employed instead of 50%? Perhaps it would only become a very mild nuclear winter. If this is the case we could: 1. Take out at least a few (if not all) of the revanchist dictatorships now threatening the world. And 2. Reverse (albeit temporarily) man-made climate change.
..and yet...this fauls to mention Carl Sagan himself retracted his predictions on NW accepting their models were all wrong... This is nothing but a mith.

Because its not a plausible theory im afraid
Because it's not a reality. It was based on speculation during the 1980s. But actual evidence and analysis refutes the idea.
You’re just a sheep😂. You’re told it’s true and instantly believe it

Fun fact: Nuclear pioneers awarded Nobel prize
Well, they saved millions of lives. Hirohito's military leaders were not rational.
In that context it was deserved. Japan were never going to give up fighting, costing more lives than the weapons.

only ten years?
