According to literature, nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and 1960s have nearly doubled the atmospheric carbon 14 content as measured in around 1965. The level of bomb carbon was about 100% above normal levels between 1963 and 1965.
Atmosphere oxidation of carbon 14 produces Co2. Or so I’ve read.

That thought just occurred to me the other day while checking out an article on testing somewhere out west. It would be interesting to know how the numbers stack up weapons testing vs industrialization. I'm surprised Al doesn't laud North Korea for having such a small carbon footprint per citizen.
