Russia. They have way more nukes then China.
No. A nuclear winter (by its name) is a cold period brought on by dust and debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun after a nuclear explosion. This lack of sun would cause the earth to cool dramatically depending on the size of the blast. If a nuclear winter occurred we would be heading into another ice age rather than away from it.
Atomic weapons caused the cold war. Only LIMITED wars; limited to non-nuclear weapons could be fought during the cold war. TOTAL war would involve nukes.
It is difficult to answer how many nuclear bombs it would take to destroy England due to the fact that there are a variety of different nukes. It would most likely take around a couple of dozen.
The cold war has come and gone, but the weapons that caused the cold war still remain. In the 1960s , every person of age living in the world was aware of the threat that Nuclear Weapons posed. The world was in such a tense state that Nuclear drills were as common as Tornado drills. This was with only the United States and Russia having Nukes. Today, there are quite a few countries with nuclear weapons. It might surprise some people that India and Pakistan both have Nukes. Of course North Korea has nuclear weapons now as well as Isreal. It looks like the world has to prepare for Nuclear Iran in the future as well. Most people don't know the stakes anymore. For instance, 1000 Nuclear weapons can end life on earth. Both the US and Russia have enough weapons to do this. 1000 Nukes can create a global Nuclear Winter and life would wither away and the earth's atmosphere would change. To keep it short.... We created a weapon that can end our time on the greatest planet on earth. Its not really about war. Its about the wrong people getting their hands on Nuclear arsenals.... Mistakes, computer errors.. etc. We've come closer to Nuclear war than many people know. Watch the video above and see how close we've come to all out destruction.
It is impossible to blow up the world with nuclear weapons. The detonation of all nuclear weapons on Earth would not have enough energy to physically destroy the planet. However, the global consequences would be catastrophic, leading to nuclear winter, widespread destruction, and loss of life.
A lack of light from the sun would cause an immediate cooling effect. For example, a nuclear winter occurs when the cloud of debris blocks the sun.
we have almost no possibilitie of that unless we fight with china or iran but then it would be full on armageddon so the answer is no unless we fight with any superpower that has nukes
Yes, they have a secret base under the ground where they make nukes and MOABs. I would recomend making a bunker so you will be safe when they strike.
Ok here's what I think. Terrorist get a hold of nuclear weapons and start a nuclear war everywhere. Did you know it takes 20 Nukes and it'll cause a HUGE fallout that will block the sun for 25-30 years. Plants need sun. Sucks to be vegetarians huh. Heck most likely it'll be the radiation spreading around the world from the nukes. It is almost impossible to tell WHO will end the world. But at this time if anything bad happens it would be Terrorist cause they don't think before acting that's why they get there butts kicked all the time. :D
the benefit of disarming a weapons is that weapons like nukes have a pressure trigger that can be deactivated under certain circumstances which can only cause minimal damage if a disarmed nukes hits the ground, it will cause a small amount of environmental damage
people were scare because both the USSR & the USA created nuclear weapons. the world feared that the mass production of the nukes would result in a nuclear war between the USA & USSR
