No, an atomic weapon. Fuel air bombs work more on the basis of dynamic overpressure.

Most of us here in this forum as an example have a similar life style or rather "standard of living". A recent car, perhaps two for a family; a comfortable home with 2 bathrooms, perhaps even 3 for a family; a nice out of the country yearly vacation, perhaps two or if not out of the country than at a resort with more luxuries than at our home etc etc...you get the idea i'm sure.

So the question is this: What would you be willing to give up, not necessarely as an immediat application, although this is feasable, but more in an ongoing reduction scenario in order to secure a peacefull or stable medium and especially long term futur, globally of course.

And lets enven add an uncertainty factor in this. No guaranties that this would work.

Would you be willing to consider such a proposal, not from myself of course i'm just a nobody, but from a group of scientist studying just such scenarios.

What you see is what you get.

No, that would be a FAD. Free Air Dispersal type of device, think napalm. Our Irish friend is more likely referring to a device detonated at altitude, but less than 30Km.

Above ground detenation - can be used for nuke, but it has its advantages outside nuke as well (better dispertion).

30K?

not heard of them before, however, isn't detonating devices at altitude worse due to the radiation affecting a wider area? i thought that was why the french stopped their testing in the pacific and why other nations moved to deep underground testing?

Since when should a nuke detonating not have great impact? If you gonna drop one, then I wouldn't worry about what it reaches. Which is why they shouldn't be tolerated - idiots drop nukes.

Anything over 30 Kilometres won't have a desired effect. Sorry.
