  • What do you have to do if there is a nuclear winter? In case of a nuclear fallout that leads to a nuclear winter, do you know how to prepare yourself?
    The earth goes through periodic cooling periods known as Ice Ages, with the last Ice Age ending a few tens of thousands of years ago. Today we are resting comfortably in the middle of a mild climate period, which means moderate winters in most places around the world and year-long sunshine in California. But today we're also capable of changing the environment artificially, and are already doing so via uncontrolled release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which are warming the planet. But with thousands of nuclear weapons around the world primed to detonate, that warming trend could very quickly reverse and send us straight into a man-made ice age. Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're asking: how can we survive a nuclear winter?

    Fun fact: the lethal dose of radiation is 7 siverts. The largest recorded dose was received by Hisashi Ouchi at 17 siverts. His chromosomes were obliterated and he's the only person to have ever lived (for a time) with no DNA. His body literally disintegrated and he was kept alive for 83 days by doctors & his family despite being in an unimaginable amount of pain and begging to die. After being resuscitated multiple times, he finally died of cardiac arrest. I wrote a paper on him arguing in favor of PAS/euthenasia

      A sufficient level of destruction and contamination would make it pointless to try, but that level is unlikely to occur. What is far more likely is something rather localized geographically, in which case it would behoove us all to collaborate to ensure maximum containment of both destruction and contamination as it would then remain localized and we could keep on trucking on the rest of the planet, think Chernobyl but bigger and multiple of them.

      The Imperial Army look up “nuclear summer”. The cooling effects come from all the carbon released into the atmosphere from the mass burning debris. That combined with mass decay of organic matter from dead forests(which releases greenhouse gasses), and the loss of those forests as oxygen eating carbon sinks means that after the nuclear winter comes even worse global warming. Plus the ozone would be destroyed as this vid discusses. So we’d be making the world even more uninhabitable, otherwise this would be talked about by scientists as an option.

    I understand that the Akademic might have better safety precautions than a regular nuclear power plant, but it's increase in safety is far less than the increase in risks. It may have less incident with tsunamis but the sea is much more unpredictable when you're actually at sea than when you're on land. And they can say that they have measures to ensure the Akademic's survival, but people also thought the titanic was indestructible.

    not only did that 1,000 ton roof blow but about that reactor #4 is also a 2,000 ton blast shield pretty much that it heaved up into the air suspended in the air for approx 10 full seconds before coming back down. To give you a better idea of how heavy that shield is its pretty much the equivalent to a fully load space shuttle lol. thats some power.

      Nukes can be controlled. we can put limits and restrain ourselves with nukes. Yellowstone would be unpredictable, unstoppable, and here is my guess of what would happen:
      1. The eruption would blow out a crater at least a quarter mile wide (That may be an overestimate, but better safe than sorry)
      2. the temperature would rise heck of a lot in a few days, then the ash in the air would block the sun and we would plummet into a nuclear winter.
      3. we would still get the Fallout style Radiation from the destroyed ozone layer.
      4. needless to say, it woul be possibly Humanity's greatest threat of extinction since the last Nuclear winter.

    I'll be fine, worried about the rest of you. One thing this video misses, that is essentiall for survival in an apocolyptic wasteland, melatonin supplements. Melationin (healing chemical released during sleep) can protect and reverse the effects of radiation posioning. Iodine salts only prevents uptake of radioactive Iodine into the thyroid. it does not actively fight radiation sickness. The rest is cool. One question, during a nucleur winter, would there not be an abundance of fungi growing due to decaying plant material plus lower sunlight levels?

    • @jc.1191
      @jc.1191 2 года назад +2
