Can You Survive A Nuclear Winter (And Other Nuclear Stories)

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?

Me, casually listening to this 2 years ago: "Huh, interesting".

Me, listening to this again in 2022: *furiously taking notes*

Most people wouldn't survive if their local grocery stores shut down for a week.

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

Depending on the level of destruction, it would be hard to find a reason to want to "survive".

One-hour of infographics?! Truly today is an great day.

When they drop that bomb, I'm planning to determine where the initial strike would land, and move there immediately. Next, I'm gonna get my popcorn and wait for 5he flash. I am not tryna survive a nuclear war.

With regards to the "How I Survived Chernobyl" Story, He survived for a time, but died from Lukemia aged 47 in 2008, so it's fairly likely Chernobyl still got him in the end.

This brings new meaning to “dont eat the yellow snow”

Jaguar: WE GOT TREES

Cheetah: WE GOT SPEED

Human: we got a nuke.

Next generation:

Ahh yes. Climate change. Let's just drop some nukes.

Corona, “....I shut down the planet for awhile .”
Nuclear Winter, my beer.”

I absolutely love these special episodes! Keeping things that are related together in a long form are so helpful

[Hazzikaze]

I’m starting to see how correct the fallout franchise really is…

[Mr_Nibblesworth]

Get on a train, like “snow piercer”.. “THE ENGINE RUNS FOREVER”. That movie was Charlie and the chocolate factory’s sequel. Ed Harris’s character is the original Charlie..

Ok the kid who built his own nuclear reactor made me realize that we are all underachievers lol
