I keep coming up into arguments with my friends that say that an all out nuclear war would be the end of the world a great deal of it coming from the nuclear winter. My position is that the nuclear winter caused from an all out nuclear war would be no worse than super-volcanic eruption. My side of the argument is that a super-volcanic eruption is usually said to be in the order of thousands of nuclear bombs, that the total number of nuclear bombs in the world is less than the order a super volcano and that a volcano puts all its energy to in throwing material into the atmosphere while nukes place their energy in an outward motion placing a fair amount of their energy pushing material sideways and not upwards. Thoughts?
Are any of my points invalid?
