Default Nuclear war: Cause, outcome, survivability

Do you think a nuclear war would be survivable? I don't, because the ammount of nations that have nuclear weapons is large, and spread out. We'd all be killed, and even if we survived the initial blast and initial radiation, the world's oceans would be inevitably poisoned.

Define survivable please. Life as we know it, or life in general?

I'm so sorry I didn't reply, my power went out(guys working on the power cords). My first attempt at an intellegent thread and my power goes out x.x. Anyways by survival I meant that the human race was still around and had a breeding population.

Default Re: Nuclear war: Cause, outcome, survivability

In that case, yes. I have no doubt that in the highly unlikely event of a nuclear war the human race will continue to exist and procreate. Though life as we have come to know it will probably cease to exist.

Thankfully, the chances of us ever having to live through such a terrible even are next to nothing.

i think we could survive.

It all depends on where and how many nukes would be detonated

We used to say the same thing about Russia; no-one's going to exchange nukes unless they've nothing left to lose.

Even if Iran detonates a nuke, everyone will gang up on them, give me one reason why either the USA, Russia, israel, and the other nuke capable countries would suddenly declare war on eachother? They wouldnt, the worst that would happen is that Iran gets glassed.

Default Re: Nuclear war: Cause, outcome, survivability

It all depends how Iran detonated a nuke. If it just launched and it was tracked back to Iran then yeah, they'd be screwed. But if they were a bit more subtle about it, made it look like a state funded terrorist attack or the like they could conceivably get the nuclear equipped nations at war with each other.
