Question	—	Does the sun being blocked affect electricity? I feel like this is the most noobish question ever. Anyway, imagine an asteroid hits Earth and the atmosphere is now full of particles, successfully blocking the Sun from Earth. There are people still alive on the planet. Assuming the sun isn't 100% blocked, enough for people to see their hands in ... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Can cities and homes stop being functional during an impact winter where the only option is move on? Following up on this question, Would Living Underground during Impact Winter be Ideal, I realized I have more questions.

Question	—	Would living underground during an impact winter be ideal? I was looking at these two questions: Expanding Occupied Underground Habitations Safely Does Living without access to Sunlight have known Physical/Psychological effects?

This is assuming that the plague ... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	Is there a man-made or natural event that can cause an abrupt climate change within hours/a day? Meaning, cause a seemingly normal winter to suddenly take a turn within hours or a day/two into a completely frozen territory? From what I've read, abrupt climate change happens from ocean currents. Would dramatically shifting the weather happen due to maybe a giant glacier melting up north? I know t... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
Question	—	What is the likely method of surviving a Tsunami in a city? After asking this question, What's the worst natural disaster that could hit New York City in our lifetime, it looks like the most popular answer was a Tsunami. A tsunami, however, from the sources of the most devastating ones could completely obliterate the city which makes me feel like it's not rea... (more)	—	over 9 years ago
