Box

Box (plural boxes) describes a variety of containers and receptacles for permanent use as storage, or for temporary use, often for transporting contents.

Boxes may be made of durable materials such as wood or metal, or of corrugated fiberboard, paperboard, or other non-durable materials. The size may vary from very small (e.g., a matchbox) to the size of a large appliance. A corrugated box is a very common shipping container. When no specific shape is described, a box of rectangular cross-section with all sides flat may be expected, but a box may have a horizontal cross section that is square, elongated, round or oval; sloped or domed top surfaces, or non-vertical sides.

A decorative or storage box may be opened by raising, pulling, sliding or removing the lid, which may be hinged and/or fastened by a catch, clasp, or lock.

Nuclear winter

Nuclear winter (also known as atomic winter) is a largely hypothetical global climatic effect of city and natural wildfire firestorms, that is most frequently suggested to manifest as a result of the combined combustion pollution from the burning of at least 100 city sized areas, at firestorm-intensity. With the term specifically being coined to refer to computer model results were this smoke remained for year-to-decade long intervals and caused massive planet-wide temperature drops/"winters" for as long as it remained.

The Climate models that are in the public-domain, suggest that the ignition of 100 firestorms that are comparable in intensity to that observed in Hiroshima in 1945 would produce a "small" nuclear winter. The burning of these firestorms would result in the injection of soot (specifically Black carbon) into the Earth's stratosphere, producing an anti-greenhouse effect, that lowers the Earth's surface temperature. With the models concluding that the size of this effect, from the cumulative products of 100 of these firestorms, would unmistakably cool the global climate by approximately 1 °C, largely eliminating the magnitude of anthropogenic global warming for two to three years; with which the authors speculate, but do not model, would have global agricultural losses as a consequence.
