what is nuc. winter and is ther a nuc. summer

The nuclear summer is rather short, the heat wave which melts and turns stuff into dust. The winter is whats afterwards, when all the dust is in the air blocking the sunlight out, causing it to become rather cold.

But when you concider global warming and all that, maybe there could be a prolonged nuclear summer, if the right amount of bombs go off to put the right amount of dust in the atmosphere maybe a greenhouse effect would happen making it warm all year round.

This of course would mess the weather up a bit and make things interesting to say the least

Nuclear winter is for the survivors. Nuclear summer is for those who do not survive.

Would nuclear spring be the rockets leaving the launch tubes?

Oh how the cries of the women and children sting my ears as phallic destruction rains upon their heads.

Actually that's only with the old fission bombs. Modern nukes only use a fission device as an implosion fuse to start a fusion reaction.

I'm fairly sure that the bombs developed in places like Korea are fisson bombs and the low yeild bombs, which are plenty, are still fission bombs.

I'm not for sure...but I think only the "big boys" have hydrogen bombs.

That's true for teh koreans, but even our tactical nukes like the b61 are thermonuclear, even for 0.3 kt yield. It's a much cleaner bomb than a comparable full fission bomb of the same yield.

What I find to be most frightening though is that apparently we have the ability to create bombs today that are comparable to Tsar Bomba (50 mt) but in a deployable package, which is ridiculous.

I suppose you'd rather have your vacation during Nuclear Winter...

what do you mean???????????
