Global Waming's Solution(ish)

[Deleted User]

I was doing a bit of research on nuclear winter.

Y'all can already see where this is going. I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding something, but would it be possible to detonate a couple of nukes in the stratosphere to slow down, if not reverse global warming?

....if we all left our windows open while we have aircon on.....

 

[Engezerstorung]

...if we all adopt butt plug to stop adding methane in the air
and then do big ones for cows...

Cowspiracy

And stop eating those nasty Mexican burritos. We don't need your nasty Nitrogen and Methan's released into the atmosphere from your rear end.

Global Warming is a myth

IF everyones start to go to work on feet or bike, hey! IT EVEN RESOLVES DIABETE TOO!

....I like fridges....

Dammit, you're all hilarious butt I was hoping for an actual answer.

 

[Exannor]

butt

heh, butts


That's what we need to plug

and leave fridges open

 

[KiiWii]

@TerribleTy27 just nuke the worst offending countries.

2 birds one stone.

I'm not a fan of blowing up the sky. I don't hate the sky. I actually like it.

And this becomes EoF...
So OP, what did you research? On what scientific paper did you see that nuclear winter can hep reverse global warming?

Uh, basic logic? If nuclear fallout in the stratosphere blocks the sun and reduces heat, wouldn't it be safe to say a couple nukes would reduce global warming?

 

[Engezerstorung]

well, as you said, IT BLOCK THE SUN
i don't know, could be an issue?
"hey my snacks never develop fungus because i put bleach in it, such a genius"


But, hey, cow butt plugs will create lots of jobs to manufacture them, move them, install them, and so on... Eh!

Obviously that would be an issue if we were firing thousands or so. But I don't think it's much of an issue at the smaller scale. Just enough to keep the icecaps from melting further.

Then your basic logic and science is wrong. It is not the sun's heat that rises the temperature. It's the greenhouse effect. With what you said, the greenhouse gasses will increase and temperature will also increase like in planet venus.

The best solutions, other than reducing CO2, is making technology that can take C02 directly out of the air.

1 to 2 °C don't seem a lot, and see the implications, it dont seem to be too much far fetched to imagine than variation in solar exposure can also have big implications overall

that's why there is scientist who study things and not just people with there basic school knowledge who think about it on the top of their head

if things were easy to figure out, it probably wouldnt be such a mess

Youre using greenhouse gas as a catch all term. The kind of chemicals being excreted during a nuclear explosion aren't greenhouse gasses. At least not according to my understanding.

Bull. Most modern problems could easily be solved. The real problem is almost always that it's not beneficial for the people in power to do that.

Take world hunger. We easily have enough food to feed everyone in the world. So why don't we? Simple. People like meat. Meat requires all the veggies we could use to feed everyone. Politicians want people to like them.

Human nature and selfishness. That's the issue.

Why do anything? Mother Nature herself will take care of the problem, once Mankind is eliminated.
Or we will just have a second Venus around.

Well I can cite you a more recent study than that one. One from NASA.

To qoute:

Instead of sulfate particles, like you get from a volcanic eruption, a nuclear event produces soot, and that results in very different climate impacts. Whereas sulfate particles from a volcano might warm the air of the upper atmosphere by a couple degrees, black carbon absorbs heat from the sun and can lead to much more atmospheric warming.
