A nuke is quarter-pop next to the 1883 Krakatoa volcano:

The energy released from the [Krakatoa] explosion has been estimated to be equal to about 200 megatonnes of TNT (840 petajoules), roughly four times as powerful as the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever detonated.
There have been over a dozen volcanos of similar magnitude in well-recorded history...yet life is still abundant on the planet.

Well don't look at me as the inventor of this theory.

FYI - A single Russian nuke sub carrying 24 missiles is about 2-3x the Krakatoa explosion in megatons.

Krakatoa is tiny compared to the likes of Yellowstone but yes, life is abundant even if it takes 300,000 years to recover. #winning

Of course life would go on even if the entire nuclear arsenal of the world were disgorged... just not higher life. This planet has seen bigger cataclysms than that. There have been periods in distant geologic periods when the earth froze solid for millions of years (snowball earth). There were others when it choked on greenhouse gases so thick, close to 70 percent of all vertebrate (i.e., higher-evolved) life perished (Permian extinction event). We underestimate the hardy microbes greatly. Many of their species can survive and even thrive in extreme environments (extremophiles). So I have no doubt that LIFE would in fact go on. Perhaps in a billion years, it might even come up with a better specimen than homo un-sapiens.

But to all those who reassure themselves that it would all be over in a flash, I'm afraid not. There would be a prolonged, agonizing die-off, as survivors ran amuck and ate each other in the streets. That's the worst nightmare of all.

No fears. Hopefully there would be something to "help" move things along, lying around.

You saying the nukes are targetting volcanoes? And that would trigger an eruption?

Or they recorded it in another planet and then passed it off here as just a movie. Hey, maybe they exterminated humans in another planet "as an experiment" and we know nothing of it. I know it all sounds a little crazy, but I just let my imagination go wild with this one. One can never be too sure of anything. Sorry you were exposed to these scenes while still a child. Just remember that if they do nuke us, it'll all be over quick. The quicker, the better.
The CIA has done 'Remote viewing' sessions with the target being the planet Mars at 100 Billion years ago...they claimed the Remote viewers saw a thriving civilization...(there is a now declassified document that details what they saw).



Take it as you will, (believe it or not), but its not far of a stretch, that past civilizations existed at one time, LONG before we ever came around.

I saw a show a few years ago that said that could become a possibility.

Yeah, we don't know what the government could be hiding from us. We don't know anything except what "they" teach us and say on the media. This belongs in the other forum, though.
