Kinda scary that the kids from this video are old enough to make good on their pledges, but also that they will probably have to.

I sure hope two nuclear powers don't have a hot war!

[–] Docker@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago

It's getting hotter 🥵🥵🥵

I for one am hoping that we do get a nuclear winter. Great way to balance out global warming.

Nuclear winter is more about dimming than cooling.

Or in other words, it wouldn't offset temperatures that much, but would negatively impact plant growth/farming and thereby lead to global food shortages.

Psh, tell that to this totally legimate source claiming that nuclear winter and global warming will cancel each other out it.

Supposedly a myth. Not even all nukes in the world would cause it.

I'm not tempted to test the theory in order to find out. Either way, the sudden collapse in human life would put enormous downward pressure on carbon emissions. Can't burn gas if you don't have anyone left to pull it out of the ground.

This is pretty scary. If something huge kicked off, who would USA support? I feel like Trump is just waiting for his opportunity (ie major war/attack) to declare martial law and extend his presidency past 4 years. I really hope I’m wrong.

On the bright side a hot war between two nuclear powers likely means you won’t have to worry about the next four years.

Unfortunately I think most of us would probably survive at least the a couple of those years, as much as we might wish we died.

Hilariously those are the two that would probably be containable.

I don't think Trump is waiting.

This is too pathetic. Can we have some Bollywood rather ??
