A recent study done by a top American University claims that if Russia exploded all of its nuclear weapons inside its own country that life on earth would cease to exist.
This is due to the nuclear fallout that would occur if such an event indeed did happen.
But is this report true?Some believe it is and others do not think so and the peer review process still debates this topic.
Nevertheless, let's hope we never find out.
The nuclear fallout would not end life on Earth in my opinion.
In fact today people who live in Hiroshima have longer life expectancies than almost anywhere.
Many of these studies are somewhat old including one in the archives at MIT and it should be quite evident why this report was created their and similar reports elsewhere.
MIT is only one school with a push against "evil use of the technology they create" and the American Federation of Scientists, to which I am a member also puts out information echoing the Oppenheimer motif and they are also extremely concerned with nuclear weapons getting into the hands of International Terrorists, thus you have a catch-22 right now with Iran.
Do you allow International Terrorists to have these weapons and kiss off a couple or 1-million population cities every decade or less or do you stop this insanity? Do you risk this and remain hopeful?Nuclear energy makes sense to prevent global warming and yet if all nations go nuclear there will be quite a bit of material available to make into bombs and that is problematic.
What if a Nation uses International Terrorists as a vehicle to attack another nation and that nation figures out who was behind it, then what; all out nuclear war? I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought.

I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
