Just read that article aswell (busy day at work...)
Pretty scary if that is result of only a "limited" nuclear strike using bombs the same strength as Hiroshima. Although I am not sure if I would call 100 detonations limited haha

I guess 100 in comparison to how many there actually are in the world!

2 billion?? That's a little optamistic If crops fail to the degree that's suggested it will be a lot worse, and low rain fall.... Its like they have gone "what's best case" don't wanna tell the world more than 80% of the population would be dead over that cold war... So let's pick a figure that will alarm but not freak people out, and we all know how good those climate change models are  |

Chatting to Mrs pheniox, these casualty predictions are a gross underestimate, the population of India is just over 1 billion, no idea about Pakistan, but be more than 500 million

With the equivalent of 100 Hiroshima bombs, that is such a small example maybe like an accident. Nuclear bombs/missiles carry more than that nowadays.
The snowball effect is the scary part because the damage would be worldwide and would be continuous. The wind currents would carry the fallout to the other parts of the world causing long term effects on people, livestock, and plants.

Those are the lucky ones.

The possibility of a nuke war is what first got me interested in survivalism back in the early 80's. Everyone I spoke to said we would all die; it would all be like "On the Beach" Instinctively, I thought Nahhhh.....and started reading/collecting books on it. One of my favorite Aussie books on the subject. "Can Australia survive World War III" by Christopher Forsyth from 1984. I've just about killed my copy from reading it.... Been out of print for a long time....but you might be able to download it here. I Haven't had a heck of a lot to do with e-books, slowly learning more though. severalebooks.com/555661/can-australia-survive-world-war-iii-christopher-forsyth.htmlNot a fan of his 80's new-age bits he throws in- but I found it a well written book(or- it agreed with how I thought at the time of our perceived risks then. ) <edit> If you like the e-book, a few hardcopies are still around second hand. www.abebooks.com/9780727018779/Australia-Survive-World-III-Forsyth-0727018779/plpJeez, that freight looks hefty though...  |
