[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 179436, member: 10263"] Krakatoa released many millions of tons of pulverized rock and debris into the atmosphere, and probably more CO2 than humans ever released cumulatively since the industrial revolution. This was [B]five cubic miles of pulverized rock[/B] injected directly into the upper atmosphere. Comparing that to a nuclear warhead detonating a thousand feet above the surface is silly. The closest you can get to that kind of shit is a surface blast, but it's not going to release millions of tons of dust into the atmosphere, and most warheads are for aerial blasts. Surface blasts would hit the missile fields in the upper Midwest, NORAD, etc. A surface blast would come from a warhead no larger than 20 megatons. Probably half that. And Krakatoa was [I]at least[/I] 200 megatons. Humans cannot presently build weapons that come anywhere near Krakatoa's power. We'd have to haul a giant space rock into orbit and drop it on Saudi Arabia or something to match this. [/QUOTE]
