Benefits of a Nuclear War

Sulfide?

Never heard of it. I did have 'sulphide' to deal with at High School.

Same shit?

I figured the implication was as the dust to create the nuclear winter, but I'm under the impression the mineral sulfates are toxic and sulfur dioxide is too, so I don't know how its supposed to be used.

No... definitely sulphide is the better shit. It's spelt better.

Some claims in the 1st article seem increadible, but I accept they're possible if not very likely.

Benghazi Explosion - Tactical Nuke Use by Gaddafi Suspected

The explosion at the Rajma military base outside Benghazi; Libya’s second largest city leveled blocks, and left fires burning through the night. Reports indicate an ammunition depot caused the blast but another, far more sinister cause is much more likely; a tactical nuclear weapon.

North Korea’s Newest Weapon: Nuke Torpedo?

These weapons are familiar to the U.S. Starting in the 1960s, its subs carried the Mark 45 and Mark 48 nuclear torpedoes, 19-foot-long weapons designed to take out Soviet nuclear subs with 11-kiloton yields. Moscow’s family of countermeasures, known as the Type 53-68 HWT, had 20-kiloton yields. Gertz notes that the Chinese navy has been intrigued by nuclear torpedoes lately, leading him to collect this awesome quote from defense wonk Richard Fisher: “China’s strategy is simply to have us negotiate with North Korea and Iran until its nuclear weapons start to kill us.”

So we need a nuclear winter? ... that's just great .. we had some numbat Tim Flannery proposing we terraform the planet with photochemical smog a few years back.

Nothing original there. It's the plot from what is quite possibly the worst sequel ever made - Highlander II
