Humans cannot survive a global thermonuclear holocaust

Humans cannot survive a global thermonuclear holocaust.

Some of those not killed by the bombs will be killed by the radiation.
Some of those not killed by the Radiation will be killed by the cold of nuclear winter.
Some of those not killed by the cold of nuclear winter will be killed by starvation.
Some of those not killed by starvation will die of UV exposure after Ozone depletion.
All of the remaining humans not killed by the immediate and latent effects of nuclear holocaust will die of scurvy.

...

Life will go on. Just without humans.

Nonsense!
A GTH would wreck modern civilization and set us back at least centuries, but it wouldn't wipe out the species.

The world is a big place. Not everyone will be targeted. Not everyone on Earth relies on technology. Even in the US, not everyone immediately concludes life is not worth living and considers suicide after 10 minutes of Internet outage.

We've faced all the other causes of death before -- and there are survivors. Not to make light of the war, but your nihilistic outlook is BS.

Say every nuclear weapon exploded right now. You really think there would be any people left on earth after 50 years?

>Humans cannot survive a global thermonuclear holocaust.

If you think people on remote fuckholes like Iceland or the British Virgin Isles are getting nuked, you're retarded.

Anyone want to tell me how much vitamin C you can get from grasses, mosses, lichens rats and cannibalism?

Scurvy? nigga what?
I got around 35Kilos of concentrated strawberry mush in my room, i dont know about you but im never getting scurvy.

...
You have...
What?

Jam, you fucking brainlet.

>missing the point this hard

let me rephrase for that guy:
why the fuck do you have 35kg of strawberry jam in your room?

>set us back at least centuries,
More like a few decades tops.
All our technology and science is well documented everywhere, save the latest patents like processors and drugs.
Books about all that are literally everywhere, from South Argentina to Tasmania.
It's not the the middle ages anymore.

Yes.

As an aside, Mountain Dew really should be fortified with vitamin c. Survy isn't common but when it happens, at least in the US, the person with it is almost always a Mtn Dew drinker.

it's literally made with orange juice and citric acid you fucking retard

Not enough to matter.

BTW, what will really wipe out the remnant of a nuclear holocaust will be resource wars and disease. AIDS, the flu, typhus, dysentary, cholera, pneumonia, Tuberculosis, fusobacteria, cancer without treatment the diseases, some of which we only barely have a handle on, will overtake what's left.

We have cures for all of that

I don't

Go back to Greenpeace, pleb

The Chicxulub impact event (extinction event that killed the dinosaurs) released over 4 orders of magnitude more energy than every nuclear weapon on earth combined, and several species without our intelligence and adaptability survived that.

It's hubris to believe that we have that we have even enough power to effect the means of our own extinction. That isn't to say a global nuclear conflict wouldn't kill billions of people -- it would to be sure. Humanity would most definitely survive, though.

but think about what survived that
>plants
>microorganisms
>bugs
>small protomammals
>small reptiles
>nothing even remotely humanlike
plus there was no radiation

and those that survive all that will be superhumans, repopulating the world with superhumans

>The Chicxulub impact event (extinction event that killed the dinosaurs) released over 4 orders of magnitude more energy than every nuclear weapon on earth combined, and several species without our intelligence and adaptability survived that.
Yup, but that was all concentrated at one spot rather than spread out evenly. During WWII Tokyo was destroyed far more thoroughly with conventional weapons than Hiroshima or Nagasaki were with nuclear weapons- despite receiving only 1/10th the relative payload (in tons of TNT). A bunch of little explosions spread out evenly are far more destructive in this context than one big explosion.

>It's hubris to believe that we have that we have even enough power to effect the means of our own extinction
The fuck kind of meme is this? Of course it isn't "hubris" to understand one's capabilities.

You are missing the fact that Human beings, aside from being vulnerable to HIV which would go unchecked without massive medical infrastructure, have a crucial metabolic Achilles's heel. We cannot produce our own vitamin C and in the event of thermonuclear holocaust the food sources we would require to stave off scurvy would be annihilated. Life will go on. Humans will not.

master pls go

We all know who the fucking retard is here if you don't know basic nutritional information.

>remote fuckholes
I need a new one of those

>he doesn't have just under 50kg of preserves in his room at all times
Pleb

...

.

Just because the radiation increases doesn’t mean that everything will immediately die. Just by probability some things will survive. Want Vit C have some ruby red

Aside from the fact that you're trolling, you know those are cherrypicked photos, right? You're showing a bird's eye view of Hiroshima next to a single section of dilapidated buildings in Detroit.

>t. nog

Its the radioactive fallout that causes mass extinction in a nuclear apocalypse not the winter.

The fallout is actually very short lived, and while it spreads out for long distances, it's really only the prevailing winds of the day that determine where is contaminated. That is, of course assuming cobalt bombs are not used.

>firebomb a country that builds everything with match sticks and crate paper
>its super effective
