Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rackhir" data-source="post: 1250790" data-attributes="member: 149">Actually a "Nuclear Winter" couldn't really happen. It was a concept dreamed up by Carl Sagan in one of his books and really caught on with the public imagination. Problem being that no nuclear war scenario could generate nearly as much dust being tossed into the air as the Krakatoa explosion and that only lowered the temperature of the globe for a year or two, even if it was a significant drop. Here's a link to an article that discusses it.<a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=19722" target="_blank">http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=19722</a>Granted it sounds like the guy is probably a right wing nut from the other articles on the web site, but it IS consistant with what I know.More to the topic though. I thought another explanation of why he needed the nuclear war for his scenario, was to explain why there didn't seem to be a world outside of England. Not that only England hadn't been destroyed, but that the other countries were too damaged or unable to maintain much contact with other countries. Especially given the clearly isolationist stance of England.RE: Africa being destroyed : Remember this is what Evey understood when she was like 4 or five yrs old. Children that young can't necessarily understand the implications of something like a nuclear war and generally have a poor understanding of things outside their immediate experience.</blockquote>
