On a clear day, a 10,000 Mt bomb, at the right altitude, could incinerate an area with a radius of +320 miles. Fun.pic.twitter.com/nXuDkgQPBs

@wellerstein chart is bogus? A 10 GIGA tonne weapon detonated 300 MILES up? Don't think so...
@Hawkeyethenooo Not bogus, just not well-known — US gov't scientists did seriously research gigaton weapons in 1950s and 1960s.

@wellerstein yes, I've heard about it, but hasn't it (scalability) been largely discredited since? Be interested to see source link, please. -
@Hawkeyethenooo When I am not on a train I will send you the link. Re: scaling, the blast doesn't scale well, but thermal supposedly does.
