just wondering what people think...
I think it would?
some people seem to think that we couldn't affect the climate at all in any way no matter what we did... I personally think this would have an effect?

It maay not effect the 'climate', but it would certainly effect the weather for an extended period of time. Dust, dirt, smoke and tons of toxic crud would whip around the planet in a day....the sky would be dark enough to blot out most of the sun's energy for months. By the time the
'weather' returned to normal for the season of the year at a given latitude and elevation the damage, as far as civilized human is concerned would, would be a disaster. My advise..do not blow up nuclear explosives.....we already have enough problems.

There was a popular theory to that effect called 'Nuclear Winter' that got a lot of play in the '80s. The contention was that even if you survived the blast and waited out the radiation in your fallout shelter, the smoke and dust kicked up by the bombs would blot out the sun for years, all the plants would die, and you'd slowly starve/freeze to death.
Just in case the idea of being incinerated instantly by a 20 megaton Soviet Nuke wasn't scary enough...
I suppose, if you accept that, and Global Warming, you could make use of limitted and controlled detonation of above-ground, low-radiation nuclear devices ('blast bombs') to counteract global warming.

A small portion of the world's nukes would cause a nuclear winter around the entire world.

No, because we aren't causing global warming. We are too small, while the Earth is too big for us to have any effect on the climate. /sarcasm

some deap sea bacteria would survive, and evolution would begin a new. Unfortunately, the sun will be expanding in the next billion years, so say goodbye to intelligent life on earth.

Lets just hope that a republican is not elected as president next time and we will not have to worry about anything like that. Vote for Peace Makers not Peace Breakers

Our arsenal alone would destroy life on earth about a million times over.

i think it would and the ice caps would melt bringing total destruction so the climate wouldnt really matter because you would be dead.

to rupert murdoch and the fox news corporation, if it happened under a conservative president, it'd all be natural and ok and for the greater good or whatever. if it happened under a lib president, exact opposite.
