In California schools you got a dog tag with your name ETC. so they could ID your body. At the time we ALL thought it was COOL. Dad had an underground shelter made, and I used it to loose my virginity! Who says the cold war was bad ??
(Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't cause nuke winter, so in a limited exchange the preppers are good to go)

Thats because they were the equivalent of todays battlefield tactical nukes...the kind of thing they use to take out an airfield - small by todays standards. Watch the link I posted a limited nuke exchange between US/USSR during the cold war would be circa 3000 megatons, as Tommy says...but thousands of times larger

Just goes to show you that the biggest threat to humankind and the world Herself is ourselves, and we've ignored Her warnings year after year. We should've never tinkered with nuclear power - leave that to the sun.

Tommy ,
Actually , I was thinking of a limited exchange between Pakistan and India. neither has the technology to build a hydrogen device as of this post. Nor the ability to deliver the much larger warheads , their stockpiles are probably less than 20 each. This detonation , in all likelihood , would not be enough to trigger a nuke winter. When I said "LIMITED" I was envisioning that only. Of COURSE a larger amount of nukes would cause a nuke winter. I should have been more specific, my bad.
