Quote HistoryQuoted: The firestorms set off by thousands of nuclear explosions would add significant particulates to the upper atmosphere in addition to huge amount of radioactive dust from ground or near ground bursts (typical for hard targets) would certainly have an atmospheric affect. The explosion of just one volcano halfway around the world in Indonesia caused 1847 to be called "the Year without Summer" in Europe causing widespread famine & strife. Mass Starvation would quickly occur because the modern food system depends on Energy & Connectivity which would be destroyed in a significant nuclear exchange. Fertilizer & pesticides are petroleum based along with the fact that 99.87% of farms (excepting maybe the Amish & Mennonites) are mechanized requiring fuel. IF the weather cooperated, and IF the farms could manage to bring in a harvest with the materials on hand - then the question is How does it get to the Citizen in the city / town / village and in a form they can eat? Modern food processing involves rail cars or trucks sending the raw food stock to become processed foods, packed and then returned to a warehouse hub for distribution. Give most people a bag of harvested wheat saying "Here you go - enjoy it!" and they'd have no idea what to do with it to make anything edible. In addition diseases not seen for decades or even centuries from various deficiencies of vitamins or malnutrition would return. A BIG nuclear exchange isn't going to be some fatal radioactive doomsday shroud like "On the Beach" or "Dr. Strangelove" but the breakdown & destruction of utilities, energy, food production & distribution will be biblical. Remember the phrase "72 hours to Anarchy"? - try 7 months without regular food & You'd eventually have folks desperate enough who would resort to anything to eat (AKA The Road).  Bigger_Hammer  My dad lived through the Great Depression on a farm. He said they didn’t have any money but always had more then enough to eat. We live about 250 miles from Seattle, I always remember my dad telling me one night they heard the animals making noise so My dad, his brother and their dad went out to see what was going on, some guy and his family had walked from Seattle to our homestead and were trying to steal vegetables out of the garden and a cow. Dad said the family felt terrible but were starving and had not eaten in a few days. Dad said they fed them and gave them some food and wished them luck. My point here is that if someone, family or group would walk over the cascades from Seattle think of what will happen with modern roads and cars ETA, I think the marauders today will be allot worse then back then, today most people think all good comes from a store and have no idea how to make anything, I doubt they can even start a fire for cooking, but they have cars and guns. Desperation will make even the best, animals. |

Remain deep in an underground mineshaft with the appropriate ratio of males-to-females. Along with animals that can be slaughtered.

Once the bombings are over, probably gonna be about 3-5yrs of nuclear winter. Who knows how much sunlight will get through. Plants will die off, then the animals that eat them, then the animals that eat the plant eaters and finally end of civilization.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Depends on whether or not you believe a large scale nuclear exchange would substantially change the environment. Some predictions show a substantial cooling effect that would severely impact farming, leading to mass starvation. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Fun answer? War lord. What would more likely happen, since our small isolated town would be most likely safe (even from fallout), we'd probably stick together (aside from a few shit heads) there would be quite a few community and neighborhood gardens. Fishing, harvesting and hunting will be done from kayaks and there will probably be a lot of people learning to sail. Our town already has a local farmers market, about half the items sold are locally grown food. It's good being more independent. There's just over 8000 here in winter. If freight stopped arriving, that would get interesting. We have a hydro, so unless there there's a close emp (doubtful) we'd still have power even. There'd be a hell of a lot less fat folks after the diet change and all the extra manual labor. I say that because fit thinner people generally have fewer chronic medical issues, meaning it'll put less of a strain on the local hospital, but people will die if meds stop arriving. No one really knows how bad or even if there would a nuclear winter. Maybe… But then I read this article from may and now I’m not so sure how safe we are. ?? https://www.newsweek.com/alaska-nuclear-solovyov-ukraine-russia-gurulyov-1802315 Also, I was watching a Canadian documentary from the 80s that said Russia had enough nukes to hit every city in the US with a population of 2000 or more. Fuuuuck. It then said the US had many more??? I thought the Russians always had more nukes? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The explosion of just one volcano halfway around the world in Indonesia caused 1847 to be called "the Year without Summer" in Europe causing widespread famine & strife. Krakatoa went off that, that was fukn huge!! But there were also 3 completely different volcanos that went off in 536 that caused years of cooling Nuclear winter (depending on how many popped) may or may not affect the earths climate as bad, or it could be worse. I just know volcanos pump out a LOT of horrible shit into the atmosphere. Of course, a big asteroid caused a climate change once that changed the course of life on the planet. One thing I was wondering, if Russia targeted Yellowstone park with a dozen nukes, could it cause a super-volcano? ?? |
