Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? Ehh, horse manure may not have eaten the ozone but that isn't the primary issue with cars, it's CFCs and other chemicals that mostly eat the ozone. The issue with vehicles is greenhouse gases, primarily CO2 and methane, and livestock pro

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP?

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? Wait, but horse manure didn't eat the ozone.  I mean, sure, cities might have been better, but cars sure beat everything in terms of long-term atmospheric damage.But on topic, I counter your statements by pointing out that we do actually

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? I know people can garden and so on but we're talking about a city here, I don't see their being enough land to grow that quantity of crops simply because roads and buildings are on top of the land instead. Come to think of it parks woul

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP?

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? Maybe. I give people more credit than you.  Gardening is a popular hobby.  Metalworking is at least somewhat popular.  Glassblowing, too.I've not looked into the electrical grid, but it's also possible that a lot of it is legacy or c

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP?

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? I don't think the problem for survival would be computers so much as electrical transformers. As you already mentioned an EMP probably wouldn't hit the whole planet but if it were to it would take an absurdly long time to replace all of

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? No nation stands forever, but I'd say it's a fair bet that humanity will at this point.  Not only do we not want to kill the world, you can't without multinational collaboration.  If you were building enough nukes to do it, every

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP?

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? Lol. I guess I should have read that first wanderer. Alot of that will come up in this topic. Maybe this topic should go along the lines of people surviving as an whole instead of we as in an individual. Knowing how the individual fit in to this

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP?

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? We'd be fine.Sure, for the first 5 or 10 years there'd be an adjustment period.  But half the world still doesn't have or rely on the internet.  Huge sections of the world still don't even have reliable running water.  Th

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP?

Re: Surviving something major like an EMP? I read a book series about an emp strike (they never really outright stated that it was %100 sure an emp), but all the things that happened in the story pretty well suggested it.Granted, some of the folks turned into crazed beings, others died

Surviving something major like an EMP?

Surviving something major like an EMP? This is going to be an unusual topic for me. I just started reading one second after by William Forstchen and I am wondering, what would happon to us in something like this? How long can we really survive something like an EMP or something else? Think
