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.

It was a light hearted comment, but since it has been taken seriously...When eco warriors consider that pollution and CO2 emissions in the northern hemisphere can have an effect on the climate in the southern hemisphere, wouldn't it be reasonable to expect the detonation of over 2000 atomic bombs (with just one bomb exceeding all the explosives released in the second world war)
actually in the southern hemisphere to contribute somewhat to the adverse conditions now being experienced in Australia.
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.
