World Wide Annihiltion?

Question

Yes, there is a real fear of nuclear warfare, bombs being dropped, poison gases, etc.
But does anyone see the big picture? If or when this stuff occurs - we have NO WHERE to run. Because the earth will be dead or dying, the food poisoned, the air - poisoned. It will take 10 years or longer before this planet can be populated, again. Not the way we know it - but populated. If there are survivors of course.

We will be living a "Mad Max" existence.

Does anyone have any ideas of how the "first" life forms will emerge? will we live in ashrams? live in solar powered home (if we get the sun back). Will we live under ground? Will we become like the cave dwellers?

What do you all see?

Answer 1

What many of us old folks figured out about 40 years ago is that the so-called survivors will only have a short while to live. The way the upper level winds circulate will cause the entire planet to move into an extended winter that will not allow plants to grow. Food will run out and when the last Guy gets done eating his last neighbor he will starve to death.

That's why we stopped wondering about things like you are asking and tried to make people see that hate and conflict are not the answer to anything. Your welcome to join us.

Answer 2

The more countries that build bombs the more likely it will happen

The senario is all too possible.
BUT NO ................World Wide Annihiltion

Hiroshima was bombed and people are living there fine now.

Nuclear war would destoy some parts of some cities.


Either mad max or some dictatorial goverment would follow on as the consequence.
The truth is military planners have been at this for years but I don't know of any available info about real consequences.


The NeoCons who were mostly cold war experts whose lives were lived under the shadow of the BOMB. probably had the goal of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons as a major factor in their push to invade Iraq.
They probably thought sucess in Iraq would pressure Iran to give up its ambitions.
It worked with Lybia.



ADDED INFO
http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Russia/TsarBomba.html
The Tsar Bomba (referred to as the Big Bomb by Sakharov in his Memoirs [Sakharov 1990]) was the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed or detonated. This three stage weapon was actually a 100 megaton bomb design, but the uranium fusion stage tamper of the tertiary (and possibly the secondary) stage(s) was replaced by one(s) made of lead. This reduced the yield by 50% by eliminating the fast fissioning of the uranium tamper by the fusion neutrons, and eliminated 97% of the fallout (1.5 megatons of fission, instead of 51.5), yet still proved the full yield design. The result was the "cleanest" weapon ever tested with 97% of the energy coming from fusion reactions. The effect of this bomb at full yield on global fallout would have been tremendous. It would have increased the world's total fission fallout since the invention of the atomic bomb by 25%.


KRAKATOA exploded with 1300 megatons of force.

Answer 3

Check the old 1960's or '70's movie called The War Game. It's about the effects of nuclear war in Briton.

Answer 4

I am not worried. Even if every nuclear bomb on earth were launched people would survive. Many of us would die but many would also survive.
