Do nuclear weapons effect Global Warming? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Probably not. If anything, nuclear explosions should have a cooling effect, because they send so much junk (soot, ash) into the atmosphere. It stays up there for a while, blocking light from the sun. This is the feared "nuclear winter" that would happen if a major nuclear exchange occurred. Volcanoes have a similar effect, but it takes quite a large eruption to have a noticeable effect.
