I didn’t dispute the numbers, just the effects due to those much, much, lower numbers.

“I didn’t dispute the numbers, just the effects due to those much, much, lower numbers.”

But those lower numbers have more powerful yields. We went for more bang for the buck, and so did the Russians.

Article by Chris Morris, April, 2022:

“But the impact of 100 weapons the size of the one that fell on Hiroshima would lower temperatures around the world to below those of the Little Ice Age that occurred from roughly 1300 to 1850. That would result in crop failures and famine on a wide scale.”

As you know, the Hiroshima bomb was tiny compared to the thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bomb) we now have. So think: If 100 Hiroshima bombs could do that, what do you think, say, a couple thousand hydrogen bombs would do?

Here, read this. It’s Wikipedia but I don’t have the time or inclination to search for scientific articles and scroll through them. But this has footnotes that you can look up:
