French Nuclear Test "Encelade"

Video of the French nuclear test "Encelade", conducted on June 12, 1971 at Dindon Sector, Mururoa Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean. The bomb was suspended beneath a balloon at 1,440 feet when detonated.
Encelade was a proof test of the MR-41 boosted fission warhead. The MR-41 entered service in 1971 and had a nominal yield of 500 kilotons.
The mushroom cloud reached an altitude of 54,400 feet 10 minutes after the explosion. Two aircraft participated in cloud sampling missions, while 10 rockets were launched into the mushroom cloud for gaseous and particulate sampling. Fallout fell over the atoll of Tureia on the night of 12 and 13 June 1971 following the test.
Visually this test resembled the much larger "Licorne" test of the previous year.

if global warming is real, how do we know its not attributed to nuclear testing over the past 60 years? thousands of tests. Carbon is not the problem. The world's plants couldnt exist without it. So why are they pushing carbon taxes on the struggling middle class?
