I love how leaders of the world talk about using nuclear bombs when they all have bunkers to hide and survive in. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to deal with the consequences of such destruction.

The fact that we are now serious about the possibility of a nuclear war happening soon is just astounding

I just had a son. It sucks to think about having brought him in a world where this type of future is highly likely…

I never heard of CNA news. They did an amazing job.

Imagine going back in time 5 years and being able to meet yourself and share what the future will bring? Your 2017 self would be horrified and scared beyond words. We are here now, but because it’s gradual, many people are numb to it and aren’t nearly as afraid as they should be. 😢

My blood ran cold. Please World Leaders , do everything to your power to prevent such scenarios.

"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind --John F Kennedy.

Good job Singapore. Your graphics and voice over summed it up nicely.

Prof. Owen Brian Toon very clearly sets out just how much of a total disaster nuclear war would be for all of mankind.

Impressive graphics and coverage by CNA. There must be an enthusiast working there.

I appreciate the willingness to talk and discuss difficult situations. It's not common that we see that anymore these days and I find it better if we talk about things rather than not.. I really don't want the day where we miss use this beneficial tool, as a horrific weapon.. After seeing videos that taught me just how much we have improved our understanding and capabilities of nuclear energy options and all sorts of different types of methods that are so much safer. I realized that even tho we had a traumatic past, and sadly weapons are thought of if you mention nuclear energy. Regardless, I'm a big supporter of wanting to rebuild our future electrical grid with modern advanced nuclear energy options because the more you learn, the more you realize that back when we were no where ready to be operating things, the reactor designs, the fuel sources, the engineering, the terrible electronics technology.. and the complete lack of understanding of safety measures and radiation... It's honestly really difficult because I know so many people are traumatized from nuclear energy due to our past but really I strongly believe we will heal and do so much better if we can ever give it a chance again. ~{This is why we need to invest in modern advanced nuclear energy options. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, liquid reactors, with modern technology, engineering, material science, safety measures understandings and designs, computer technology, robotics, It will really allow any nation to be pretty much be energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past and see that it came solely from Us not understanding what we were doing, not have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions more than anything else could while having a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options.}~

Professor Toon was a very good teacher, helping me save the world from catastrophe. That’s how important reliable information is and why democracy helps spread important information.

Great graphics. The Tsar Bomba was downgraded by 50% after it was constructed. The scientists behind it told the govt they weren't sure of what would happen from its effect so they decided to reduce its power to be on the safer side.

Dude left them speechless for a couple seconds 😳

On a positive note; the graphics and presentation on this channel is outstanding.

This information is fascinating.

When you see a mushroom blast don’t run away from it but run toward the blast, it’ll be quicker or you won’t feel a thing.

You know this is serious staff that the professor is saying when the two interviewers were left speechless for several seconds before regaining their composure to end the interview.

*CNA Good graphics and well documented information with the lady presenter welldone* i have subscribed, good work

Thanks for this cheery assessment.

So the human species goes the way of dinosaurs due to national, ethnic, and political feuds.

I wish this kind of info was in the news in America.

Very nice report Tks

The Tsar Bomba cracked windows in Oslo. 800 miles away.

*Well done CNA this is incredibly an insightful clip*

One thing that we learn from history is that we don't learn from history.

Humankind has never been so close to be extinguished! Here is my message to those who will survive: Don’t put too much power in one person’s hands.

Thanks for recommending this to me KZfaq

The prof no chill. See the reporters’ face after his interview 😂

It’s so comforting to see real news!!

What the point of watching the news if the news anchor is too hot to concentrate on the content.

Those that cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

the two news anchor reactions when he say Singapore is totally unreliable when it comes to food supplies.news anchor replied: alright that's it for now thank u!!🤣🤣🤣

Excellent news channel / platform. New subscriber before the world ends 😢❤.

What a hell of a time to be alive.

It would be so incredibly devastating… I can’t even bear to imagine what it’d be like

Facts the two atomic bombs dropped in World War Two in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan killed 300k and 250k respectively these are what a Catholic priest survivor wrote he was in the outskirts of Hiroshima; the 3 mile radius not one buildings or edifice is standing in some of the few wall standing you can see the carbon imprint of a humanbeing incinerated plastered on the wall on the 5 mile radius you can see people walking dead with torn pieces of flesh hanging around them going and dying in the river nearby i also have seen a man holding his gorged eyeball in one hand! Its horrific! Its like what you can see in Dantes Inferno! Hell on Earth plus the millions whohave sufferred of debilitating diseases like cancers brought about by the aftermath fallout of radioactive substances in the soil n in the air they breath in. And now with the invention of the Hydrogen bomb with its 20 to 30 times more potent you can just compute and multiply its effect k!

US has 5,248 nukes in total and it only takes 1 to destroy a city. That doesn't count several other weapons that will definitely ruin your day.

I would love to see something like this happen. Americans will shudder to know how they perpetrated the cruel and horrific genocidal bombing of the Japanese.

Thank you CNA. May this brings awareness to the world. May there be peace in the world. May everyone knows there is only one earth. There is only one brotherhood of man that is that linked by the earth we stand and the air we breathe. Let us not be deluded, not even for a second. This is a love for everyone and I mean everyone. LOVE & PEACE.

Great channel I subscribed! This is horrifying😨

So uplifting.

Nice one

"The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences." Proverbs 22:3

I actually want to know what would be going on in the minds of those who would set off those nukes.

There will, sooner or later, be a nuclear exchange. The results are too terrible to contemplate. As I think Khrushchev said about such a scenario: “The living will envy the dead.”

The sad part is that when it comes down to it, having one man in control of whether or not this becomes reality or not, is extremely scary. ONE single man's pride and his refusal to accept defeat could spell death for many. At this point he would probably let the world burn because he's too humiliated to acknowledge defeat

Mr Toon left them speechless - that was impressive.

Singapore should really also follow Switzerland and have bunkers built everywhere, because in a WW3 free for all, probably only hope is for species survival in Fallout bunkers.

Thanks

CNA "we've been waiting for this moment our whole life, unleash the nuke video!"

Im sad for the animals.

Excellent report.

No need the professor to tell us what will happen to Singapore if a full scale nuclear war happens between nations. Its common sense we are fucked.

It is good to hear someone has seriously evaluated this. It seems to match up well with the mental models I have from a basic study of the subject. (I am not a climate scientist; just someone who has studied up some on the subject.) Something I would like to see tackled is the long term outlook. My mental models have come up with a nuclear winter will be followed by a catastrophic climate summer, possibly even tipping Earth into another Venus. The reasons for this is all of the crap that will enter the atmosphere and environment and persist much longer than ashes. You have a whole lot of CO2 going up from everything burning. You have a whole lot of methane going up from smashed infrastructure. The Nordstream pipelines alone leaking are said to account for 1/3rd of annual greenhouse gas emissions as methane is a very potent greenhouse gas when just released in the the atmosphere. Now imagine basically all natural gas infrastructure in Russia and NATO countries smashed and leaking out with everyone who could shut off the gas flow dead. Not good. Then you will have piles of nuclear power plants catastrophically fail as a secondary round of irradiating the world triggered by the damage and death toll of the first rounds of nuking everyone and everything. So now as the world thaws, really nothing can grow and start soaking up the CO2 emitted because it is Red Forest kind of dead if it hasn't already burned away. The following summer with everything dead and unable to grow again because of the massive radiation both primary from nuclear bombs and secondary from nuclear power plants around the world melting down and exploding and CO2 and methane releases, heating up and cooking off the water into the atmosphere, which water is a greenhouse gas, as well as other feedback effects with warming, is how the remaining people will likely die and the Earth will become permanently uninhabitable. After all the Sun gets bigger and hotter with time and with Earth tipped over into another Venus, this planet will be done for all time.

I hope that the Western world will not suffer for a long time.

So SAD that humanity is going on this path to self immolation.

The pilots of the plane that dropped the tsar bomba was hand picked by the leader of the Soviet union himself and their safety could not be guaranteed. Dropped remotely by a ground controller, a parachute was put on the bomb to lower its rate of acceleration and give the pilots of the plane a longer time to escape. Tsar Bomba II was going to be the sequel to the original TSar Bomba, coming in with a explosive field at a whopping 100 Megatonnes. However due to the 1971 Soviet-US Treaty which prohibited and banned further nuclear bombs construction and test. This bomb never became reality.

The one in Manchester history museum sure gives you the creeps, especially when it was targeted for Accrington.

I could not wait.

Whoever thought we would long for the simple days wherein all we need to worry about was a deadly, worldwide catastrophic pandemic.

I can see the sadness in his face.

That's terrifying even to think about that. Imagine living in a freezing radioactive world where you would see billions of people dying as days go by. I would rather die within the first days because there would be no reason to be alive.

Bring it on!

Sounds exciting! I can't wait!

this has been going on for 70 years

So cheerful, can’t wait for that day..

The live editing on this is insane

Whenever I heard of "Nuclear Winter", I think of "Snowpiercer" of Netflix. It is a story on which the Global temperature reversed to negative because of Nuclear Winter. Horrible to think that it would happen anytime soon.

Thank You So Much CNA for reminding all of us to Respect & Treasure our planet Earth while we still can ... 🕯🌷🌿🌍💖🕊

Nice knowing you all.

I work hard every day and some people can end it all with some key flips and buttons pushed.

Environmentalists "There we have our solution for global warming"

An interesting video and quite sobering. Alas the content was obviously too much for many in the comment section who felt obliged to dribble their usual platitudes...

I always get flashes of me and my family living on the stairs in the middle of our house to avoid the resulting radiation of a nuclear bomb that just hit

The aliens must think we are so stupid blowing each other up

Gotta love the details of these happy news stories ;(

Frightening fact: the tsar Bomba was detonated at half power.

Thank you Mr. J. Robert Oppenheimer

Most people are too distracted, war mongers are leading to nuclear armageddon while everyone is not demanding peace

That is why in some of rich Middle East countries, they built a massive massive tunnels in the past decades.

Most targets would have 2 to 3 warheads assigned to it to account for the occasional launch or re-entry guidance error

Very informative. Although they never mention how significant the threat of a nuclear war will drastically increase if and when Iran develops nuclear capabilities.

Well that was scary

In a nutshell: There is no reason for a sane human to ever use a nuclear weapon. In my opinion, we shouldn't be screwing with nuclear power, either.

It's so messed up that the few people who make these decisions get to decide our fates as mankind this way. Why can't the leaders get in a ring and fight it out.

Insanity, shame on us.

I saw modified MK12A warheads on Stargate SG-1, their yield was 1,000 Megatons (1,000,000 Kilotons) each.

That silent before the host wrapped up the segment was deafening.

I want to ask two questions. First question: The America government why choose our death over something that doesn’t belong to us and what the Americans people archive from this war? Second question: Why the America government doesn’t focus on Americans people like give to people free education and free healthcare but instead send billions abroad for what purpose?

Sick reality

Tsar bomba from 60 years ago... Imagine what there is today

I still can't believe a single human could hate his brother this much, that he would murder millions for a temporal gain....Has no one learned the lesson from Cain and Able??

For Singaporeans....we in Malaysia are willing to help you guys for the food supply if nuclear disaster really happens....so don't worry

Time for all superpowers to stand down.

Let's pray those things wont happened ☹️

Tsar bomb was only loaded to 50% of its capacity back in 1961.

On the bright side, if it does land somewhere in singapore, say Orchard road. We won't even have a minute to suffer, we will be instantly vaporized

The main reason we have so many nukes is not to bomb every single city but rather just to keep them spread around and assure mutual destruction if attacked, since a smaller stockpile could potentially be targeted and compromised by a first strike prior to retaliation. A lot of work has gone into reducing these stockpiles over the last few decades in the interests of non proliferation - the USA and USSR used to have tens of thousands, each.

Must be nice for the ones who get to hide in bunkers, while the rest of would face this. I wonder how world leaders would feel if it was the other way around.
