You seriously need to read up on nuclear blast effect and radiology. It's this kind of ignorance that leads people to think nuclear winter is an effect of modern day nuclear warfare.

What does radiology have to do with nuclear winter?
Nuclear winter is the phenomenon of the sun being blocked out by a huge dust could circling the earth, such as the theory of a comet/asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs and as was observed following the eruption of Krakatoa. That dust cloud circled the earth for three years before finally dissipating.

Which was exactly my point. Chinawhite made the assumption that the more radiation there is, the stronger the risk for nuclear winter. Obviously, that is not so. As I said, it is the amount of dust pumped into the atmosphere by high yield warheads that brings on such conditions. Our 50KT-1MT bombs wont do it. Their 5MT bombs wont do it. Everyone flinging 10MT at eachother, as was the expectation in the 60s and 70s, covering the entire surface with nuclear fire, would do it.

this is pure nonsense in its highest form. China and the US are not going to war. The US and Russia are not going to war.
China is focused on becoming the energy efficient, pollution free, eviromental friendly hybrid car super giant. How many cars you think they are going to sell if they go to war, how many you think they are going to sell in the US. WHY would they divert so much of their resources into building enviromental friendly systems.....
How many US firms have recently opened and helped build manufacturing facilities in China. How many US Companies rely on Chinese manufactured goods. You think the US wants to go to war with China. You think China wants to lose US and western acceptance of its goods....
NO WAY
Its all about Capital strength why fight when you can buy..

Maybe you should double check if i did or didn't
China only needs to launch its twenty or so nuclear weapons with 5megatons each it will make the american continent to poluted to sustain life. Throw in some other missles in the region and the whole world is un-sustainble thanks to the american attack.
Nuclear winter will not happen with the 20 or so missiles hitting the USA but with the US resonse (leveling china to a giant carpark) I am pretty sure there will be massive fallout and radioactivity
