I seriously doubt the accuracy of that first video. Multiplying 10 years of estimated nuclear winter (for a 100-nuke situation) by 190 in a 1:1 scale with the number of nukes seems like some serious bullshit to me. I don't recall hearing about a 180-day nuclear winter after WWII. And at the end he confused kilometers with miles!

Going deeper, I see evidence suggesting that the place he probably got his ten year estimate counted on 100 cities burning, not just one. Only one giant crater would not result in the same amount of soot in the air.

I haven't finished reading that source, btw.  There is probably a lot of pertinent info I haven't gotten to.  But I am satisfied that "bullshit = confirmed" on the video.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
