Aforementioned: aphorisms and questions for 2015
Nature goes to extremes: human intelligence+testosterone, Nature's most evolved extreme. 
Neither the Alberta tar sands nor the Tsar bomba (the largest detonation ever achieved - up to 57 kilotons of explosive power ) could have happened without human intelligence with a healthy sprinkling of testosterone. For a more telling experience of the lunacy of tsar bomba, have a look at one of the videos available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwlNPhn64TA The following article is excellent as well: http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Russia/TsarBomba.html
I think that I am correct in saying that the magnitude of the physical devastation to the original landscape is about the same for the two projects, although it is important to note that humans mostly do not lie directly in harms way in either. It is ironic that as an exercise in destruction, several small warheads cause much more target damage area than a single warhead alone, thus providing a greater target damage for a given nuclear payload (to paraphrase the Wikipedia article on MIRVs.) How's that for an exercise with the human intelligence - testosterone brew?
