Nuclear fallout information

[Diggin It]

Scifi has often looked at a post Nuclear age with pockets of humanity scattered around the world as survivors and legends of rebirth after apocalypse...

Even Star Trek has this theme…. I can't remember but think is was mid 21st century...?

There were several. Miri was one.

The movie Damnation Alley featured a quest to get to one of those pockets near Albany.

I think for some people it is easier to imagine the end of the world than imagining they're going to end and the world will go on.

This. The world will not end, it'll just change. People will survive, and generations will carry on, and we'll adapt. I have young children still I'm willing to fight for and preserve.

Also when the Vulcans spotted the first WARP speed on earth...

It was a rag tag of camps if I remember....

"Cochrane admitted that World War III had changed his ideas about nobility, and at the time he only wanted to retire to a Pacific isle and its native women"

Why is a toilet like the starship Enterprise? Because it circles Uranus looking for Klingon's...

Only Star Trek one liner I can post on this site

I don't see it happening. No world leader would initiate it, they all know the consequences.

No person would walk into a classroom with an automatic rifle and start shooting little kids, they all know the consequences.

That's the same attitude people had during the depression and the dust bowl. My parents ate weeds and thought things might be over as they knew it. Well, it wasn't. Three-four generations later, we're still here. I'm sitting on my couch under a nice warm blanket thinking about what to eat for breakfast, talking to people from all over the world.

Every generation has its thoughts about the past and the future.

Which is exactly why I only prepare for things within my control. Every person gets to decide how prepared they need to be based on the risks they perceive.

I still think the biggest threat facing US is famine. I'm preparing for that.

Possily caused by a massive volcanic eruption, or these freaks that want to eliminate fertilizer could be the source of the famine.

Good point.

I don't believe they want to eliminate it, but reduce it. In places where "they've" checked, show most have a large amount of nitrogen just sitting above the aquifer. From over application of fertilizer. Not really surprising as most farmers i knew, got their application rates from the people that sold them the fertilizer, then add to our, "just a bit more's got to be good" and voilà.
