The atomic bomb tests in the Pacific were about 10000km from Easter Island (only 2000km less than London from the same nuclear tests). On the other hand the British nuclear tests were 800km from Adelaide, of course they were quite safe.

Are we not losing the whole point of my statement by nit picking and avoiding the issue....Who actually cares where the bombs were detonated, the fact remains that they were, and releasing a damn lot more CO2 and pollution than every factory and farm animal in the civilised world.

They burn off the heather moors here from time to time and it's surprising how quickly new shoots are appearing on the heather, of course it was a damn sight hotter with the bushfires and may take a lot longer to recover, especially the wildlife....
