A new study suggests that a nuclear war between Russia and the US would cause global famine that would
Researchers say more than five billionpeople will starve to death during a full-blown conflict. Computer simulations have shown that due to the release of soot into the upper atmosphere, sunlight will be blocked. This, in turn, will provoke crop failure around the world.
In general, scientists have described six military scenarios:five small conflicts between India and Pakistan and a big war between the US and Russia. According to the researchers, in the event of a local war between India and Pakistan, the average global food production will decrease by 7% within five years. In the worst case, with the participation of the United States and Russia, this figure will increase to 90% in three or four years after the end of hostilities.
As the lead author of the study noted, “The data tells us one thing. We must prevent nuclear war."
