Truly excellent video. Feels like an oasis in the middle of a desert filled with internet slop like AI generated content, stolen videos, outrage videos, and drama videos.
“An abrupt change in climate could be caused by even a limited nuclear war” yeah especially in the places targeted. I bet the climate would change an unbelievable amount in about 1 second.
air bursts don't really cause radioactive contamination. its blown up into the atmosphere and diluted to negligible amounts that decays quickly. within a few days of being up there it will have lost about 90% of it's potency. if all the bombs were ground level bursts then the planet would be uninhabitable. the radioactive plume would condense and rain out covering every inch of land on earth given enough time. the northern hemisphere would be a write off for 10s of thousands of years
@@ContentEnjoyer-gm3ky I'm in the west of England, London is East of me, so my thinking is I'd hopefully be far enough away from the bombs for the winds to blow it further east? 😬
I somehow would like to know, if nukes, exploding to close to each other would create something like one single huge collumn of fire. Seen a video placing to many candles to close to each other and the flames merging into one single large one and now i think about merging nuklear explosions ._. What would the shockwaves at the ground collapsing into each other look like, how bad would the negative pressure after the shockwave passes and all the cold air rushes to the center.
Not an expert, just a person with interest in the topic for many years. To the best of my knowledge, no one ever set off two nuclear tests near each other at the same time. (Pedantic note: a Hydrogen bomb is triggered by detonating a smaller Atomic bomb but that all takes place inside one carefully designed warhead.) Also, all or nearly all above surface nuclear tests were in deserts, at sea, or arctic tundra so we don't have good data on how they would set forest, brush, and grass wildfires. But smoke from such wildfires would certainly add to blocking sunlight.
If 3-6 MIRVs hit over a given area, the firestorms of each detonation will merge. The explosions do not merge nor occur at the exact same moments. Impacts are staggered to maximize accuracy and damage.
@@Raz.C Maybe. Those who now live a very primitive life and go out and grow/harvest there own food would certainly have a better chance. Those living in the "civilized world" would have a hard time with the massive starvation and diseases.
What a fun start to 2025 🎉 Happy New Year Stu 😢 It's a good job I've got my prepping skills upto date. Playing Metro, Stalker and Fallout I'm sorted 👌 😂
You must have missed the part where by day 100 the entire planet looked like Venus. 9 months of twilight followed by 7-10 years of below average temperatures. This sort of climatic shock would alter the jet streams, which would be horrific for S.America and Africa. The rainforests would die off and become grasslands and the grasslands would become deserts. There would also be the destruction of the ozone layer, which would kill off 50% of all plant life and cause humans of all skin tones to suffer sunburns within minutes and UV damage would cause blindness. Animals, having no where to hide from the sun, would also suffer UV burns and high cancer rates.
3:35 The source you linked said, and i quote: 'General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff warned that today's world has become, "more dangerous than it has ever been." Similar beliefs are widely held throughout the strategic community. *There, however, is little hard evidence to support them.'* And 'During 2012-the most recent year for which there are data- *the number of conflicts being waged around the world dropped sharply, from 37 to 32. High-intensity conflicts have declined by more than half since the end of the Cold War* , while terrorism, genocide and homicide numbers are also down.
Some historians say the time period from the end of WW2 up to now should be called "The Great Peace" because no major power has gone directly to war against another major power during that time. Plenty of limited wars but no direct conflict between Super or Great powers. But there also are some who say World War 3 already began when Russia invaded Ukraine. Evidence in favor of that is how many countries are involved with the war with direct belligerents ranging from Europe though the Middle East, parts of Africa, and all the way to the Far East plus scores of other nations involved by providing arms, training, or other support. World War 2 in Europe was called "the European War" for the first year or two. It wasn't until 1940 or 1941 that everyone agreed that a World War was already in progress.
Now here's a question for you. Let's say a full Nuclear exchange is happening right now. Would you rather be caught up in the epicentre of one of those dreadful weapons, thus being killed instantly? Or would you prefer to survive the initial exchange but subsequently be faced with trying to live through a Nuclear Winter with civilisation in tatters on an irradiated planet?
Modern nuclear weapons create little fallout. Just stay inside a well sealed place for 2 weeks and then cover yourself from head to toe when you do go out and make sure not to bring any outside particals in when you return and you will be just fine. The more dangerous radiation is the shorter the half life.
The only thing that has made a nuclear winter well kinda would be the super volcano eruptions you would need the amount of nuclear weapons equal to a super eruption
Hmmm. Near impossible idea but... Find a place where such bomb would not cause any form of harm to the ecosystem, we could with certain amount of nukes slow down the global warming.
@DebunkedOfficial Worth checking. I am just electrical and automation engineering student but that is off point. All we need is a place where we can safely detonate a nuke that can lift all the sudd and such into the atmosphere to block the sun for long enough that it would not affect the life on Earth drastically and would cause a global cooldown of two or four degrees Celcius.
Actually if you're at the epicenter of a large airburst at optimal height to maximize blast radius, being in a subway tunnel may well be enough to save you. Ground zero does not necessarily mean dead.
You're using outdated information on the "Little Ice Age." It wasn't an actual ice age on a global scale, it was just a regional climate event in the North Atlantic. The rest of the globe had relatively normal temperatures throughout.
Funny to think that expoliding every nuclear device on earth wouldnt even equal the power the earth recieves in 1 second from the sun. We as a whole species only create 20 Tw while earth receives 173,000 Tw of energy from the sun. This is why i laugh when humans think we really have enough power to change the enviroment enough to even be able to accurately measure it.
There's two of them now, and both can be characterized thusly. So, which one of them do you mean? The "tech bro" or the failed-business-magnate-turned-entertainer?
Fun fact! If you were to cram the entire population of Earth into a city with the population density of New York, the resulting city would be smaller than Texas.

“An abrupt change in climate could be caused by even a limited nuclear war” yeah especially in the places targeted. I bet the climate would change an unbelievable amount in about 1 second.
Wouldn't the dust and detritus also be irradiated? Not only will they block out the sun but also cause radiation sickness.
Water blocks, shields Radiation...
So with A Nuclear Winter and the Following Warming, Would Come Tremendous amounts of Rain washing most of it away.

Only for a certain amount of time.
jup, in the beginning fallout will contain stuff like cesium, quite toxic and radioactive 😅
From the simulations would your home town survive the war?
If London got the brunt of it, then jet streams should blow most of the clouds away from me 🤞
I guess so. But winds would be blowing. So I’d be fine with a suit. And to be quite frank, I’d want to move to a less radiated town.

i kinda am just waiting for that to happen….just hope its a small exchange, humans are stupid after all….

I'd expect the first salvos would be EMPs . and Kessler syndromes to wipe the orbitals out.. the rest of the nukes would be countervalue
As a gex x I've heard this my whole life...full send!
-20c colder, doesn't that mean it's 20c warmer? ;)
Excellent upload though.
So cant you detonate nukes in the high atmosphere to disperse the dust?
Most of the nuclear stockpile are ICBMs that are MIRVs so this isn't limited to submarines.
So Africa would experience clement weather? Ya know, I'm actually HOPING for a limited nuclear exchange, now...
Conflict of Nations is a great game.
That's "15 to 21 kilotons of TNT," not "... kilotons of energy."
