"The figure of 100 Hiroshima-sized bombs compares pretty accurately to the approximately 110 warheads that both states reportedly possess between them," agrees Wyn Bowen, professor of non-proliferation and international security in the War Studies Group at King's College, UK.

Let's try adding a tiny bit of simple arithmatic to one of these articles, for once.

100 Hiroshima type bombs is about 1.5 Megatons.

The Bikini Test in 1954 had a calculated yeild of 5 Megatons, but actually yeilded 14.5 Megatons. Teller was embarrassed-A little, but promptly got over it.

The Russians later detonated the Царь-бомба yeildng 50 MT, or to put it cutely, 333.3 Hiroshima-yield bombs in one explosion.

These were two tests. From the early '50's to the present, how many devices were detonated by all nations? And of what yeilds?

Bah.

Didn’t the Russians test at least one 200+ megaton bomb?

Oh I agree its hooey, I was just being sarcastic about the piece.

We have already detonated more devices with no ill affect on the climate than what the piece claims it would take to bring on a nuke winter.
