Sounds like an extreme way to stop global warming.

Apologies on pronouncing 'nuclear' wrong! Won't happen again, my human friends!

[Handhandme]

Funny how everyone on youtube is suddenly talking about weapons of mass destruction just before the elections

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter...

To stop global warming we must create a nuclear winter. Genius!

If canabis can grow in underground rooms with the help of special lights might and other plants can grow with special lights
You just need a nuclear generator

I hate to say it but a couple degrees cooler over the next 20 years doesn't sound all that bad; like reverse global warming!

"recently simulated" Gee, I wonder why

Everytime you say "nucular":
-a kitten dies
-a puppy dies
-a safety switch on a warhead fails
-trump starts thinking about bombing the middle east
-north korea builds one warhead

For all who don't know the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima was a little firecracker compared to what we have now. And that war between India and Pakistan is probably the smallest possible nuclear exchange possible. Between that and North Korea, any other realistic exchange would probably be world ending. Take Russia's black box, in case of a nuclear attack the leader in charge usually the president gets a box that can launch over 7, 500 ICBM's with at least a megaton payload straight at the attackers (USA) all at the same time. Those were cold war numbers but still.
