It doesn’t make sense even on a technical level. Cities are all near water and their fallout plumes would irradiate huge swaths of the earth to the east in addition to everything downstream.

The infrastructure of civilization is all clustered around cities as well, so we’d lose access to the best spots to live.

I got nothing but sympathy for you, thirty years ago that bit would have killed. Today everyone assumes you’re serious.

No humans = No worries about climate change...

So it does work. The point is that its absolutely not a Reasonable option at all.

Also nukes aren't dirty bombs, they don't do that much radiation, most of the nuclear material gets turned into pure fusion energy. So they are kinda environmentally friendly in a way...
