How many nuke detonations would be required to trigger a nuclear winter?
I imagine, all you'd have to do would be target North America and Europe and it (nuke winter) would come in and take care of the rest.meet the new boss, same as the old bossComment

Canada is over 30 BTW. Australia's our lil' sibling.

° Myth: Unsurvivable "nuclear winter" surely will follow a nuclear war. The world will be frozen if only 100 megatons (less than one percent of all nuclear weapons) are used to ignite cities. World-enveloping smoke from fires and the dust from surface bursts will prevent almost all sunlight and solar heat from reaching the earth's surface. Universal darkness for weeks! Sub-zero temperatures, even in summertime! Frozen crops, even in the jungles of South America! Worldwide famine! Whole species of animals and plants exterminated! The survival of mankind in doubt!
° Facts: Unsurvivable "nuclear winter" is a discredited theory that, since its conception in 1982, has been used to frighten additional millions into believing that trying to survive a nuclear war is a waste of effort and resources, and that only by ridding the world of almost all nuclear weapons do we have a chance of surviving.
Non-propagandizing scientists recently havecalculated that the climatic and other environmental effects of even an all-out nuclear war would be much less severe than the catastrophic effects repeatedly publicized by popular astronomer Carl Sagan and his fellow activist scientists, and by all the involved Soviet scientists. Conclusions reached from these recent, realistic calculations are summarized in an article, "Nuclear Winter Reappraised", featured in the 1986 summer issue of Foreign Affairs, the prestigious quarterly of the Council on Foreign Relations. The authors, Starley L. Thompson and Stephen H. Schneider, are atmospheric scientists with the National Center for Atmospheric Research. They showed " that on scientific grounds the global apocalyptic conclusions of the initial nuclear winter hypothesis can now be relegated to a vanishing low level of probability."To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Tell that to the dinosaurs. The Yucatan impact caused the equivalent of a "nuclear winter".

plus the amount of energy in such a large asteroid impact would far exceed anything the world's nuclear arsenal could do...To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

The K-T impact released 10,000 times more energy than all present day nukes combined.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

If that asteroid didn't wipe out all life on earth, I don't a few ten thousand nukes could do it.LOS ALAMOS, N.M., June 2003 -- What would happen if a 10-kilometer-diameter asteroid penetrated Earth's crust at a speed of 15 to 20 kilometers per second? The kinetic energy of such an asteroid (more than 6 miles in diameter) would equal the energy of 300 million nuclear weapons and create temperatures hotter than on the sun's surface for several minutes. The expanding fireball of superheated air would immediately wipe out unprotected organisms near the impact and eventually lead to the extinction of many species worldwide.

It's funny actually, California has been used as a measuring stick for Canada for a very long time. Cali has so many cars, Canada has so many. Cali has this many people, Canada has that many.Originally posted by centrifuge

California is the Canadian equivalent of the London bus.(\__/)
