It shows all the 2053 nuclear detonations between 1945 and 1998.

...and we're still here!

No nuclear winter at all.

Still, life is better without nuclear bombs going off all around you.

Here are some more nice nuclear explosion photos:

I don't know how many of those were above ground. I thought we had banned nuclear testing throughout some of that period, but it sure didn't seem like it.

The dirty secret is that a limited nuclear exchange of 100 or 200 bombs doesn't seem likely to wipe everything out.

Thanks for the link. I guess I have a fascination with watching explosions, so long as it isn't very close to me and isn't blowing people up.
