    Honestly surprised the 2 nukes in WWII didn’t trigger a 3rd ice age.

    Why are you surprised? How do you think the nukes would have triggered a ice age?

      Same way the astroids did. Big boom, big ripple effect around the globe, and the force pushes the earth slightly out of orbit.

      Apperently nukes aren’t powerful enought to do what astroids did. I thought they would.

        Just checked from wikipedia, the yucatan impact was “The kinetic energy of the impact was estimated at 72 teratonnes of TNT (300 ZJ).” The Little Boy dropped on hiroshima was 15 kilotons of TNT. To say theres a vast difference is a understatement of the century.

        You either have wrong understanding or no understanding of physics.
