Climate change is going to kill us all reasonably slowly, but it's OK because we're in the brink of nuclear war which will kill us quickly... Unfortunately, where I live isn't a historic nuclear target, but areas around me are, so I'll not be vaporised, and have to endure the chaos...

But... It's pizza day tomorrow so there's that.

If there actually is nuclear war the fallout will affect the whole world. Even if you aren't near the blast you'll get a nice dose of radiation on the wind.

Yea, problem is I can shield in place whilst the worst passes and still be alive.....

Nuclear weapons are big and devastating but... An hour away from a modern weapon detonation - I give you good chances.
