Nuclear Treaty Signed

[Jasper]

Remington, that article scared the hell out of me. I can totally understand the cold war nuke fears now.

The numbers of the thing kind of drive it home.

The thing is, though, the Tsar Bomba was too big to be actually militarily useful.

This is part of why I find it hilarious.  The other part is just the sheer absurdity of so much power behind a single button.

The other other part, of which I could only find a small reference in the discussion tab, were the ecological consequences of this bomb.

Afaicr, I read somewhere that whacking a hole in our atmosphere like that had some unpredictable side-effects. Though that part of the story might be bullshit, it also seems to make sense somehwta.
