Oh my Lord, split that hair!

Just because nuclear weapons haven't killed everyone on the planet doesn't mean they aren't a threat. That's like putting a gun in a baby's crib and saying, "Well, this gun hasn't killed my baby yet, so UV radiation from the sun is more likely to kill it."

The radiation from the Sun is insignificant compared to that of a nuclear weapon detonated on the surface of the planet. Also, the main danger in the use of nukes is a nuclear winter, not radiation.
