Chinese citizens in a city close to the North Korean border
have been told how to prepare for a nuclear attack – a sign of how
serious Beijing is taking the risk of war.
It lists the five destructive forces of a nuclear detonation:
electro-magnetic pulses, early nuclear radiation, blast waves,
light radiation and radioactive pollution, reports the Independent.
Anyone who is outside during a nuclear attack should lie in a
ditch, put light coloured clothing over exposed skin or jump
into a river or lake to lessen the chances of instant death,
the article advised.
Cartoons accompanying the article illustrated methods to
get rid of radioactive contamination.
These included splashing water on contaminated shoes
and cleaning ears with cotton buds
Another illustration portrays a vomiting child with a
description of how to flush radiation from the body
through induced vomiting and urination.
The state-backed Global Times in a commentary said
the article was published because of the worsening
situation on the North Korean peninsula.
A 2014 report published in the journal Earth's Future
found that even a regional war of 100 nuclear detonations would
produce 5 teragrams of black soot (that's 5,000,000,000 kg!)
that would rise up to Earth's stratosphere and block sunlight.
This would produce a sudden drop in global temperatures that
could last longer than 25 years and temporarily destroy much
of the Earth's protective ozone layer. This could also cause as
much as an 80% increase in UV radiation on Earth's surface and
destroy both land and sea-based ecosystems, potentially leading
to global nuclear famine.

The tragic and devastating nature of all this is cheapened by the guy whistling in the shower as he scrubs radiation from his skin.....
NO-ONE wins a nuclear war .... .

North Korea has an abundant supply of Mineshafts, when they come out in 100 years, they could take over!

Most members here couldn’t give a dam about the pinko commies sadly!
Watch how they respond when they wake up to read this and start grinding their dentures...!
That are still in the 50s, 60s and 70s...
They have been conditioned to believe that anything out of the USA is in the axis of EVIL...
Sadly
