mercedo's Journal: Nuclear Winter

After the very big, consecutive nuclear explosions like collision of meteor or of course the use of nuclear arms, it is believed to occur so-called 'nuclear winter' thereafter.

I think we had a similar experience here though it's much smaller than nuclear winter in global scale.

Global warming is a result of incessant emission of carbon dioxide that produced from burning a fossile fuel, etc. As a result of this, lots of vapour was formed and thick clouds with a lot of vapour contained formed over the atmosphere. Some of them moved to the Arctic area and cooled down. When that cooled air moved to some part of the world, that is likely to be the one that caused lots of precipitations especially in the form of snow.

Now we see lots of snow here, that's the last form of water transformation which started from the sea water. It was heated by sun and transformed into vapour in the sky.

In nuclear explosions, the process is the same but just the scale of this process is enormous.

Nuclear Winter is also caused by the dust and ash thrown into the upper levels of the atmosphere by the nuclear explosions, blocking a fait amount of solar radiation from contributing to the temperature of the Earth.

Yeah, you are right, and current regional cooling was partly caused from thick strata of clouds that prevent sun radiation from reaching the ground. This is different from the cases of greenhouse effect. Under this effect, ultra-red get through the layer of clouds but the heat is caught within the limit of atmosphere.

Nuclear explosions in global scale would bring about global cooling. This is the most effective way to prevent the process of global warming, though, we can't help but have another Ice Age wit
