I've studied nuclear war for 35 years -- you should be worried. | Brian Toon | TEDxMileHigh

- For the first time in decades, it's hard to ignore the threat of nuclear war. But as long as you're far from the blast, you're safe, right? Wrong. In this sobering talk, atmospheric scientist Brian Toon explains how even a small nuclear war could destroy all life on earth -- and what we can do to prevent it. A professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Brian Toon investigates the causes of the ozone hole, how volcanic eruptions alter the climate, how ancient Mars had flowing rivers, and the environmental impacts of nuclear war. He contributed to the U.N.’s Nobel Peace Prize for climate change and holds numerous scientific awards, including two NASA medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement. He is an avid woodworker. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
"We're just one misunderstanding, one mistake, or one fanatic politician away from a nuclear conflict" hits a bit too close to home under current circumstances
Putin goes BRRRRR. But when we can deal with North Korea, we can deal with a dwarf who has a dream of a new USSR
I will say that even though the image of Russia has been embittered by the recent events, don't fear nuclear annihilation.
Remember that in history two Russian men, Vasily Arkhipov in 1962 and Stanislav Petrov in 1983 prevented WW3 from happening. I believe it's because their loyalty was with the human race and not their country.
You Finns could invade St. Petersburg with your hockey sticks.
@@DeepEye1994 the greatest heros nearly no one knows :(
Not happening :/ pffft unless other big 4 countries attack putin
I’ve studied nuclear war for 5 minutes, and I already knew we should be worried.
Right? What a moronic title. Everything has to be click-baity. SO embarrassing.
Then again, this 5 minute study was propably atleast partially based on the information, that this guy and many others alike decades ago found out, after years of intense research... as the speaker said, he was one of those scientists back then, that got the current leaders to understand what they have in their hands... The reason of this being headlined like this right now, is maybe not only gettting views, but because seems like it is now more important in long time, again to raise awareness of this. Mentioned "35 years" means only, the guy really knows what he is talking about, even though the results and conclusions he and others made back then, are not so new info anymore...
I've studied it for 10-minutes I'm telling you It's twice as bad as you think!
Previously I had only seen videos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki so I thought nuclear war was great.
Three movies of the 80s (The Day After, Threads, and Countdown to Looking Glass) pretty much told me that nuclear war would not end well.
@@bigd3087 Yes and the movie Click told me I can control time with a remote control hahahaha
I’m 60 I’ve had 3/4 of my life, but just got my first born grandson- he deserves his time on earth 😢
“You should be worried” - Being worried helps nothing. We can’t do anything.

Iran have just threatened a nuclear war… you people asleep
He is very knowledgeable and has delivered a great message. I’m torn as to whether he’s made nuclear war seem more likely than not. We’ve had the most delusional leaders imaginable and yet, no bomb. Hopefully, world leaders know the horrific outcomes that nuclear war would create.
What we haven't seen yet is a psychopath with no hope of winning, who still has the capacity and authority to launch a large number of nuclear missiles.
They have been saying this since the creation of the bomb.

Funny, but believe it or not, the old Duck and Cover would have saved countless lives if we were ever attacked and would still be useful to teach children today.

A desk is not going to protect an attack from even the smallest nuke.

@@frankfranksen7467 yeah we created nukes, because we are smart to doom us
Maybe because mice aren't humans..? This analogy is confusing.
There is absolutely no point in worrying. It’s just like worrying about anything else that you have no control whatsoever about.
I've been living with this for sixty seven years ... and have nothing to say.
My grandfather always compared the Cold War and the threat of nuclear war to two men in a pool of gasoline with lit matches held above their heads, daring the other to drop the match.
That’s a Carl Sagan quote your Grandpa must have been a fan. Or is your grandpa Carl Sagan?
Wait, don't gasoline vaporize? Then those lit matches would have blown everything up without being thrown anyways.
@@googooboyy then they dare each other to light the matches
@@googooboyy this may be how it is right now.
@@googooboyy I remember reading article in newspaper years ago… two boys about 14 … they got into some kind of warehouse and tipped over barrel/ container of gasoline and one of them struck a match…. probably assuming like in the movies that you have to drop said match on the ground…as you say Mar Larson the fumes catch fire in the air apparently. I think at least one of them lived … but truly horrific life changing injuries/burns.
This suddenly pops in my timeline as Russia-ukraine conflict tension rises.

At 67 I've learned we can't stop anything the last 2 crazy years have reinforced my thoughts. Enjoy what life we may have left and hope n pray my Great grand and grand children may have a good life and their generation will change this craziness 🙏
I thought your generation was supposed to fix it? Don’t be kickin’ the can!
@@chrismullin8304 I thought so too🤷
If "we cant stop anything" than what is hoping and praying for your grand children going to do?
@@mchapman2424 we can't but God can so I pray
your generation created this problem for us, just like your generation created all of the problems we face today. and you perpetuate these problems by raising your hands up, saying "Oh, well! Good luck fixing our mess! I'm praying for you!" You are not washing your hands of this, you're still alive and you still have the power to do something to help my generation, your grand children and great grandchildren. Do something. If you actually care about us and our future, do something.
Everyone sweeps it under the rug because if it DOES happen, there is no hope anyways. Better to pretend it's not a problem and get on with our lives. But, people should be reminded of the potential danger every generation so we don't forget the power they hold and maintain responsibility throughout the future.

My mother always used to say, if there's a nuclear war I hope the first missile lands on my head.
I agree with your mother I rather be instantly vaporized than face the harrowing aftermath
wise lady
Me my balls they always itch
Same here with my Dad
Nuclear warheads generally detonate above the surface of the earth for maximum kill radius. In theory if you can be underground directly under the missile and can avoid being sucked up into the vacuum, you could in theory survive...But I doubt it.
Man this aged well
“We gotta wake them up before they sleep walk into a nuclear disaster” that aged well😂😂😂
Like milk
Putin hasn’t used nukes at all so Idk why y’all think this didn’t age well.. I think Putin knows already that if he used a bomb then WW3 is on the horizon and he understands the consequences that would bring.

Thank you sir...I hope your caution reverberates loudly, as yet now in 2022 'we' edge closer to such a costly 'fate'. I think I'm jaded because what touches a chord in me is that the innocent wild local metro sparrows and 4 squirrels I visit with for their 'snack-time' would suffer, as did the dinosaurs, due to no fault of their doing.
Why don't you make them a bunker then?
@@TheTnndsbrkdas I'm waiting for the squirrels to at least hibernate for this current season- their 'treats' are getting expensive. 😆 I'll suggest 'bunkering' to them
It wouldn’t be so scary if weren’t for the fact that psychopaths are so good at reaching positions of power.
Russia secured its uranium stockpile from US sources. Does anyone care to ask Hilary how that happened? No, we take solace knowing that if we are annihilated it will be from our own nuclear materials.
It's not that psychopaths are good at reaching positions of power.
It's that positions of power are good at creating psychopaths.
@Daniel Morris nah, it's known that physopaths or sociopaths are good at obtaining high positions in power because of their manipulating ways. I've seen it my whole life and never understood, from presidents to bosses at jobs to principles at schools to celebrities to business owners, and I'm only 19. Seems like the world just kneels to people like that and let them do whatever they want until it's too late, then complain when they are way too far in power. Ever once in a while, you get some good ones, but the worst always seem to come right behind them.
@@SomeUA-camTraveler I don't think theres any evidence to claim that the positions of power are what create psychopaths. By that logic, everyone who gains power would become a psychopath and there have been plenty of people throughout history who had tremendous power and did amazing work with that power.
This bugs me to no end. But I do not blame psychopats really, I blame people. Superficial charm and offering of quick solutions coupled with hyperinflation of events and pseudoevents plus poor eduction on most subjects of the voters and there you have it, perfect storm.

@@wolfofautumnnight Can you work without thinking?
@@agracefulfox6252 yes, I've done it. The pack line at Amazon takes zero thought. One night I was already up over 24 hours before I stared my 10 hour shift. I was working hazmat singles which are small items, most of which THAT night fit in either A1 or A3 boxes. A manager gave me Amazon swag because I let him watch me package an order with my eyes shut. I only had to look to scan the item and put the SP00 on the side of the box. Most of the time spend that night was in a state of micro sleep with my eyes closed. Package 2000 packages a day for 3 years and your body can go on auto pilot while you get lost in your own head as well.

It is a good thing we had people like Stanislav Petrov. A man who may have saved the world in 1983.
It was his job to report if there was an attack on USSR. The system reported an attack and he didnt report to supervisors, due to thinking it would be an error of the system and it turnend out, it was.

if theres ever a nuclear war, I just hope to die without feeling the pain. thats it.
Neisan Land that’s if it unfortunately gets me, but if there is one I’m instantly packing my things me and my gf are off to Africa or South America or News Zealand or Australia, I just hope a nuclear war never happens whatsoever, nuclear warfare is something that has a high price to pay, too high.
@@Toix if you were given a warning yes we would be packing and going, but if warning is not given we are all done for.
Unfortunately, it might be unlikely, unless you live near a high priority targeted city.
If you're not close enough to get vaporized by the blast, you'll be burned, blind, and then dying. That's if you're in the range of the shockwave, and initial flash.
If you're not, then you're likely to die a slow death of radiation poisoning, which is pretty horrible from what I've heard.

making you live longer than you should without taking accountabuility for it.
I know I take care of the elderly in my family
Its like taking care of a stubborn 4 year old going on 72+
I'm 44, I was a kid in the 80s. I spent an inordinate amount of time worrying about World War 3 and MAD as a child. I have three kids now, the eldest being 12, the youngest being 8. All three of them, for the first time ever, have asked me separately over the last five days if World War 3 is coming and will nuclear bombs be used. Thanks Putin. Just what I needed after Brexit and Covid.
It has really been a fuqed past couple of years...
Welcome to the next phase of the psychological operation of the WEF and pals :)
@@amateurs7814 what is WEF?
I have an 8-year-old son, and I graduated in 1995 and grew up by White Sands Missle Range. I was worried as a teen about WWWIII, then I thought we all understood the whole mutual destruction problem and kind of forgot about a nuclear war. Now not only have I had to explain 9/11, school shootings, drugs and homelessness, kidnapping and/or abuse, covid, riots, the attack on the capital, covid part II, remote learning, wearing masks 😷, wondering if he has a cold or covid leading to a large qtip being stuck up his nose, getting inoculated, learning how to interact with kids face to face again, why do billionaires want to go to space and is Russia going to use nuclear weapons, what will that do and getting to explain nuclear winter. Oops, I forgot the whole are aliens real in my tirade.

He is great as crystal as it gets. Realistic just that simple!
Just like we should have worried the last 30 years?
Look man I worry about literally everything I DONT NEED THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED
Okcurrr same lol 😂
LOL
Then we are 3 already 😂
Literally
Yeah..hear you
I've studied nuclear war for 3 days. you should be worried.
Well said but even three minutes is sufficient. When you look at the Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the amount of Nuclear weapons in the world that could be used at any second. Makes you not want to have kids.
@Martin Jansen power plants are significantly and exponentially worse than bombs thats why they take ridiculous impossible measures in conducting them. A bomb only has fuel for its explosion. Nuclear power plant core has enough fuel to burn for thousands of years
@@aldoard For me nuclear submarine are the worst. Nuclear propulsion, the nuclear arsenal in it, can only be use once (tacticly) and they can move all over the world!!! An accident waiting to happen anywhere in the world!
@@flyingpete73 anything involving the word nuclear is basically trouble lol. Whats crazy about all of this, the future of energy and the only barrier that stands between us and type 2 civilization is effective solar energy harnessing. Like yo, spend all of this crazy nuclear money in studying that instead...
@@aldoard It would not surprise me if they already know how to make free energy!
I’m high and can’t stop focusing on his arm movements when he speaks, ffs I was actually really interested too lol
This is FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt)
This is the closest we’ve been to a nuclear war since the 1980s. I had forgotten how nerve wracking a Cold War that could turn hot on a moment’s notice could be.
I feel safe because I live in the US, and no one would ever even want to nuke us, because we are the good guys. Plus, I’m sure everyone knows that if they did do that, they would only be hurting themselves, so it wouldn’t even make sense. I mean, just think about it. If all of us Americans were killed, then who would police the rest of the world?
I’m pretty sure none of the other countries actually think they could do as good of a job of being world police, and no one would ever want a huge responsibility like that, anyway, obviously. We don’t even like doing it, ourselves, but we still do it, though, of course, just because we know it’s much better that way for the rest of the world.
That’s just one of many examples of how kind and selfless we are as a nation, and it’s one of the main reasons why the whole world loves us. That’s why I feel so fortunate to be an American, and why I know I’ll never have to worry about things like having enemies, thank God. It’s too bad the rest of the world sometimes does things that other countries don’t like. They should all start being more like the US. It really sucks how every other country sucks so bad 🤷🏿♂️
At least as far as they've told you.. but then again, it took decades for them to finally admit the several times we came within a few seconds of full-blown thermonuclear warfare due to technical glitches.....
You slept right through it every time... What you don't know won't get you anxious... What you don't know won't make you spend your life in fear... And if you are the victim of a nuclear war, there's nothing you can do to stop it so just relax

It’s scary really 😳
True
Whoever is watching this in 2022 stay safe we r in a very scary time right now
I’m so scared 😥
Just came back to refresh myself because of recent events.
This aged well.
I bet that audience would even Crack a smirk if this was presented today.
I know, I’m sitting here wondering how arrogant they have to be to laugh at this. But then again, a lot has changed since this video was made
'wouldn't' not 'would'.
Fry the vaccinated
I bet there wouldn't even be an audience :)
this got recommended after the U.S and Irán incident

Same. This is fun.
Sadly it didnt make Cheeto Supreme's feed. He wouldnt be caught dead watching anything educational.
oh no
I hope NK and Iran won't sell their nuke technology for money. I'm so worried cause it seems like they really need money...
This guy’s a real genius…
I’ve studied people for 50 years , and I already know we should be worried.
Do you know Peter griffin ?
It took you 50 years to get there? I knew that already when I saw the Chernobyl thing go up on TV at the age of 2...
Shut up Meg!!!!
If you not attack Russia you are safe.

Watching this in 2022 with the madman Putin on his hand on the button.
Hearing Brian talk about "we need to let the politicians understand the dangers so they take sensible actions to prevent it", is so naive that it makes me depressed. The idea that world leaders act out of common sense and logic.. If they did the world would be another place.
I have just watched Nolan's. "Oppenheimer". One conclusion I have reached the Atomic bomb was the biggest mistake till the date mankind had made.
The irony is barbie and Oppenheimer released on the same day, people don't know it yet, but there will be a nuclear war BC of feminism. Look at the global birthrate collapse, nations will blame it on each other causing nuclear war.
The irony is that men have no rights.
Everybody gets older while less children and socialism is everywhere, socialism is basically stealing from men. They will start stealing from other nations causing nuclear war, instead of looking into the mirror.
Recomended October 2022
You heard him guys don't nuke people.
Yeah but it seems Russia are upscaling there nuclear programme kinda sad that these nations don't understand its also self destruction.

The Dino Killer was several orders of magnitude more powerful than all of the world nukes COMBINED. It hit so hard there were volcanic eruptions on the opposite side of the globe. It likely cracked the Earth's enamel it hit so hard. Not saying Nukes wouldn't send us back to the dark ages if we're lucky, but it doesn't even scratch the surface of what the Dino Killer did.
I'm not worried. Refuse to live in fear
I studied nukes for 1 hour a while ago, still terrified
Just spawn and deploy a God, and with the power of his turd which is the equivalent to 12321123324232423243223432657809 hiroshima bombs, then doomsday will come(jk xd)

Yeah and the United States has a giant buffoon with the nuclear codes. How comforting.
