If all the major cities in the USA, Europe & Middle-East got Nuked?

Question

Where in the world would the winds carry to? Would there be ANY place left on Earth that would be safe from nuclear fallout winds? How about if it was limited to east/west coast of the USA - where would be safe to flee?

Answer 1

I don't think we would really know what will happen.  We do have computer models to simulate a fallout pattern, but they are limited to the equations that they must run with.  Nature is more complex than any model equation made by humans so far.  In my opinion, I would think the place that would get the least amount of radiation fallout would be the polar regions based on the general atmospheric circulation.  Otherwise, I don't see any real safe place.  

One likely thing will happen, we may not have to worry about global warming as the concern will turn towards a nuclear winter or massive global cooling.  At least that was a major concern during the cold war era not too long ago.

Lets just hope it will never happen and hope that the leaders of our world would never consider this option.  The idea of mutual destruction as a deterrent for a full exchange of nuclear weapons only works if the leaders of the world remain sane.  

That's just my opinion.
