A nuke destroys whole ecosystems...
Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.
Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it's completely uninhabitable by humans...
So do we... at least the nuke stops killing new things after a bit.
Define "a bit", please
Few months/years. The radioactive isotopes created in the explosion have a short half life. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving cities today.
That contradicts the whole point that a nuke will destroy humans but leave the environment intact. A bomb of any kind destroys ecosystems. If humans reclaim the cities, it's not a "net positive" for the environment, despite the cynicism that's in the statement.
"Land back" is a much better approach since land under indigenous jurisdiction has much more biodiversity than average and especially than bombed land.
Perhaps 1 minute?
Humans do that too https://youtu.be/bmVGwOP_zi8?si=lobEy6mBiIRCVmoL
