    Brother in law has some family on that cruise. Wild... ruined the vacation as now they have to apparently sit in port while they search for the bodies.

    On YouTube you can find a vid that detailed all the nuclear tests from 1944 to 1998. Guess how many? I was astonished!!! I feel this could be a reason for natural disaster since man kind fucked everything up

    Not a great deal more significant than fracking but has virtually zero effect on volcanoes which ooccur many miles below the surface. Many miles. Even Earthquakes have a negligible effect.

    2066!!! with the USA as the hands down Most! All that and no effect seems unrealistic.

    Wow 2066 nuclear tests in 54 years?!?

    It's not like we don't have evidence of the issues which waste from nuclear reactors/weapons create. 8 years after Fukushima and we are still discovering how it has negatively affected marine life.

    I'd reckon 1 nuclear test is enough to interrupt the natural state of things. All you have to do is understand that everything that is introduced by us changes things, be it in a very minuscule way - or a drastic one. Full on Butterfly affect style, what we do DOES have an impact on our future. We are driving the damn car towards our destination for crying out loud.

    You could say, well it happened and we are still here so it must not have been that bad... Wrong! Can't put a timeline on it like that; we can't perceive what would be therefor we cannot accurately perceive how we have transformed "would be" to "reality".

    Well, worry about it all you want but I'm gonna worry about more important stuff like Global Warming or a President who wants to be King.

    Don’t forget about fracking.
