We've had this conversation before, regional nuclear war would trigger the same effects as the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Both those cities are thriving today.

BLUF 100 Hiroshima Bombs. That is nothing compared to what Russia, China and the US have with MIRV warheads of higher kiloton or megaton yield.


To see what climate effects such a regional nuclear conflict might have, scientists from NASA and other institutions modeled a war involving a hundred Hiroshima-level bombs, each packing the equivalent of 15,000 tons of TNT—just 0.03 percent of the world's current nuclear arsenal. (See a National Geographic magazine feature on weapons of mass destruction.)

The researchers predicted the resulting fires would kick up roughly five million metric tons of black carbon into the upper part of the troposphere, the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere.

In NASA climate models, this carbon then absorbed solar heat and, like a hot-air balloon, quickly lofted even higher, where the soot would take much longer to clear from the sky.
