depending on how far you are from the blast the building you are in can greatly increase your chances of survival

KI (potassium iodide) is a salt of stable (not radioactive) iodine that can help block radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland, thus protecting this gland from radiation injury. The thyroid gland is the part of the body that is most sensitive to radioactive iodine.

<:think_globalist:378717098945544192> READ BOOKS PEOPLE

2018-01-28 19:04:39 UTC  

if one nuke is dropped, yes, which I don't think anyone has disputed

2018-01-28 19:04:49 UTC  

emphasis on "one"

2018-01-28 19:05:02 UTC  

how many than?

2018-01-28 19:05:14 UTC  

what is the thresh hold?

2018-01-28 19:05:24 UTC  

to start a nuclear winter? I don't know, read a book?

2018-01-28 19:06:09 UTC  

it is a myth as far as im concerned

2018-01-28 19:06:56 UTC  

quickly googles one article to support your views, assumes it's myth. Okay.

2018-01-28 19:06:57 UTC  

I can already hear the "so you're saying you're in favor of global nuclear war?"

2018-01-28 19:07:27 UTC  

"debatable" isn't exactly a refutation, either.

2018-01-28 19:07:28 UTC  

It's on Nature, dumbass.

2018-01-28 19:07:40 UTC  

what is wrong with nature

2018-01-28 19:07:49 UTC  

Not you, the other dumbass, dumbass.

2018-01-28 19:07:51 UTC  

"debatable", "dumbass".

2018-01-28 19:08:01 UTC  

yes it is not proven

2018-01-28 19:08:08 UTC  

it is just a theory

2018-01-28 19:08:28 UTC  

and people overestimate the power of neuclear weapons

2018-01-28 19:08:45 UTC  

If anything we know for sure now, with all the climate change debacle, is that scientists know very little about how the climate works.

2018-01-28 19:09:11 UTC  

how so?

2018-01-28 19:09:25 UTC  

and again laughing at people for being prepared with legitament ways to prepare is retarded

Myth: Fallout radiation penetrates everything; there is no escaping its deadly effects.

° Facts: Some gamma radiation from fallout will penetrate the shielding materials of even an excellent shelter and reach its occupants. However, the radiation dose that the occupants of an excellent shelter would receive while inside this shelter can be reduced to a dose smaller than the average American receives during his lifetime from X rays and other radiation exposures normal in America today. The design features of such a shelter include the use of a sufficient thickness of earth or other heavy shielding material. Gamma rays are like X rays, but more penetrating. Figure 1.3 shows how rapidly gamma rays are reduced in number (but not in their ability to penetrate) by layers of packed earth. Each of the layers shown is one halving-thickness of packed earth- about 3.6 inches (9 centimeters).3 A halving- thickness is the thickness of a material which reduces by half the dose of radiation that passes through it.

The actual paths of gamma rays passing through shielding materials are much more complicated, due to scattering, etc., than are the straight-line paths shown in Fig. 1.3. But when averaged out, the effectiveness of a halving-thickness of any material is approximately as shown. The denser a substance, the better it serves for shielding material. Thus, a halving-thickness of concrete is only about 2.4 inches (6.1 cm).

Oh yeah, jokes are retarded.

"if a nuclear winter is started, it won't matter what kind of house you chose to hide inside
what pills you pop"

2018-01-28 19:12:49 UTC  

it litterally does matter

2018-01-28 19:13:30 UTC  

short term, yes, long term, not at all, which was what I was alluding to.

2018-01-28 19:14:02 UTC  

long term it also matters

2018-01-28 19:14:10 UTC  

which is why you take the pills

If the dose rate 1 hour after an explosion is 1000 R/hr, it would take about 2 weeks for the dose rate to be reduced to 1 R/hr solely as a result of radioactive decay. Weathering effects will reduce the dose rate further,' for example, rain can wash fallout particles from plants and houses to lower positions on or closer to the ground. Surrounding objects would reduce the radiation dose from these low-lying particles.

Within two weeks after an attack the occupants of most shelters could safely stop using them, or could work outside the shelters for an increasing number of hours each day. Exceptions would be in areas of extremely heavy fallout such as might occur downwind from important targets attacked with many weapons, especially missile sites and very large cities. To know when to come out safely, occupants either would need a reliable fallout meter to measure the changing radiation dangers, or must receive information based on measurements made nearby with a reliable instrument.

2018-01-28 19:15:21 UTC  

the point I'm trying to make is that if human life is rendered unsustainable, you'll only be prolonging the inevitable. If we go by the assumption that nuclear winter is impossible, then I am happy to agree with you that it does indeed matter.

2018-01-28 19:16:40 UTC  

ok that is fine, the problem i have is that the effects of the weapons have been exagerated and people believe that things are hopeless when there are small steps you can take to protect yourself

2018-01-28 19:16:45 UTC  

I am perfectly happy to assume the medicine does what science has established it does, so you don't have to quote the study on this for my sake. I would probably stock up on it myself, if things turn more dire in the near future.

2018-01-28 19:17:05 UTC  

in global poltics that is

2018-01-28 19:17:46 UTC  

I think that is a perfectly valid way to look at the situation @Deleted User

2018-01-28 19:18:03 UTC  

fair enough

2018-01-28 19:18:30 UTC  

but if you see a mushroom cloud and it is smaller than your thumb...
