    There's this fucked up part of me that finds graphs like this comforting, that this will make the problem, and more importantly the liberal world's mismanagement of it, impossible to ignore. Logically I don't think about it that way. I felt the same way about COVID and the BLM movement but those didn't turn out how I had hoped. Emotionally I guess I have an accelerationist streak lol

      Every time the weather goes out of whack, some huge torrential storm or freak wildfire, people (particularly chuds who think climate change is a hoax) will be quick to say it's weather modification or HAARP or some shit.

        We're all going to feel silly when we find out that haarp was secretly a 3 mile long f-350 that's been rolling coal since the 70s. : (

        Or their Iron-age brains will just say it's God's wrath, and the only way to appease Him is to sacrifice some of those vulnerable minorities they hate so much. The realization of that possibility is starting to creep in for me.

      engineer a nuclear war

      Is this something that would be dreamed up by the bourgeois class in the Western imperial core?

      This theory is horribly cursed but I do not think they could carry it out without their usual hubs sounding off about it. The thinktanks and the various people of influence. They all do this through various channels.

      If it were being seriously considered I do not think they could hide it as efficiently as is necessary. It would have to be the effort of like a very small group of 10-15 people otherwise and that group would have to include generals that would carry it out, the president, and several completely deranged neoliberal ghouls.

      Israel does not have enough nuclear weapons to do this by itself either. Israel has an estimated 90 nuclear weapons and to be frank I think that's a high estimate. This idea would rely on someone else also firing nukes. The only possible partner is the US. But if the US fires nukes in conjunction with Israel it is burning itself on the world stage forever afterwards. People worldwide will not treat it like Japan.

          The difficult (and unbelievable) part of this hypothesis is how can they contain the nuclear explosions regionally and not allowing it to escalate out of hand towards a global thermonuclear war.

          I think the obvious answer would be to egg on a situation where an exchange would be between a nuclear power and a non-nuclear power.

          the solution is clear, you just have to think (much) dumber and refocus from nuclear war as an excuse to the core of "exploding nukes will lower the global temperature"

        Then again, It would be very on brand under-doing it so we just get nuclear fallout and radiation instead of the intended effect. Egged on by Christian Fascist/Zionists death drive, evangelical rapture prophesies and climate change denialists desperate to keep their treats. They already accepted that 100s of millions will die from climate change, what's a few 10s of millions more.

        Remember that we live in the dumbest timeline.

      Nuclear winter isn't science. Climate Satellite imaging has shown that even the largest ash clouds fall back to the ground in around 2 months and there is no reason that bigger smoke clouds will fall slower.
