Could a nuclear winter be the answer to global warming??

Question

think about it, iran becomes a radioactive parking lot, and we dont boil to death, so we solve two problems with one shot (or a dozen or so missles, what ever works)

Answer 1

That would make things worse.

America is a very large diverse country and you need an enemy to stop people turning on each other.  If you nuked Iran, you would have to find another enemy fast - Canada perhaps?

This was the basis for plot of the Southpark movie.

Answer 2

Are we into genocide to settle arguments?

It might be as effective to nuke Washington DC, when it comes to stopping global warming... which is to say, the nuclear winter effect would be the same. The history books could then write this up as a noble self sacrifice instead of  something worse than the Holocaust.

Answer 3

There was a woman who swallowed a fly, so she swallowed a spider to swallow the fly, ...she exploded.

Sorry, Global warming is bad enough, and a nuclear winter is even worse, but the one would not stop the other.

but I liked your idea about a large parking lot between Iraq, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, there are so many cars there, people don't know where to park them, especially Uzbekistan, now that they have that new car, and these 20 cars are becoming a real problem.

Answer 4

I wouldn't count on it....

i'm not sure.

Answer 5

I think Iran wants to Turn America into a parking lot so the world would be better off

Answer 6

No

Answer 7

Sounds bad, lets just stick to global dimming.

Answer 8

Don't know.  Should we try it?  Give us the countdown when you want a launch.  Somebody needs to coordinate the ground zeros.

At least it'll solve this gross overpopulation.  I'm convinced that's our worst environmental problem.

Answer 9

nooooo, coz global warming causes a winter, like in that movie the day after tomorrow.
