But what this article fails to consider is that I'm the protagonist of reality and war only happens on the TV screen, so I'm not too bothered. I've never even seen a bomb, so it's not like I'll just get killed by one.
Someone should warn the libs there's no brunch under the rule of a Techno-barbarian warlord
Would at least some survive? Yes.
Would it be a life worth living? No.
Everyone might die actually. They kind of dance around the fact that they're actually describing a mass extinction event, with plant life itself being massively disrupted. Industrialized agriculture would fully collapse and you'd need to bank on the remaining species to form a stable enough ecosystem to sustain the small remaining pockets of humans.
Oh no, I've seen Threads: They got, like, a generation or 2 after that and that's it. Odds are humanity will never recover to pre-apocalypse levels. I was just being literal and saying some humans would survive the immediate aftermath.
Ah that's true. A few generations of desperation and hopelessness.
In the 4,400 warhead/150 Tg soot nuclear war scenario, averaged over the subsequent five years, China sees a reduction in food calories of 97.2 percent, France by 97.5 percent, Russia by 99.7 percent, the UK by 99.5 percent and the US by 98.9 percent. In all these countries, virtually everyone who survived the initial blasts would subsequently starve.
Like 5 people in South Africa and the very south of Chile and Argentina live. 99.9% of everyone else dies.
The west and Russia destroy each other, leading to the dominance of the global south and maybe China if they don't get nuked for the hell of it
Nope. Almost everyone dies. After a few years of nuclear winter it will no longer make sense to talk about nation states or global anything — or large-scale human civilization for that matter.
There was somebody here a while ago telling me that nuclear war wouldn't end human civilization. They pointed to the fact that hiroshima is populated now even though little boy is tiny compared to the shit we have now.
I could survive having all my teeth knocked out and having my hands removed, but I'd rather avoid the contributing to the circumstances that would lead to this, even if it meant less profits for the defense industry.
