Yeah, that doesn't prove anything. It's just some researcher speculating that maybe it won't be so bad after all. Anybody who would gamble the fate of humanity on this analysis is an absolute imbecile. Out of curiosity, how many billions dying would be acceptable to your psychopathic mind?

Maybe try clicking those multiple links?

I did, and I'm not impressed. How many billions dying is acceptable to you?

Did they say that it'll be the other sides billions, not theirs? I am so jaded that this discussion doesn't feel right without someone saying that their people will prosper after they nuke everyone else. With some bullshit that obviously the other sides nukes won't work but all of theirs will.
