Three-quarters of the people on Earth will starve within two years of stopping the missiles – and that will be just the beginning.
Five billion people would die in a modern nuclear war followed by global famine. Bloomberg wrote this on Monday, August 15, citing a study by a team from Rutgers University, USA.
Such a high death toll is due to the impact of the explosion on the world’s crops, as the drifting clouds of radioactive ash block the sunlight that nourishes the plants, according to the study of scientists .
“In this scenario, three-quarters of the people on Earth will starve within two years of stopping the missiles – and this will be just the beginning,” the article said.
The researchers drew their conclusions by estimating the amount of ash that would be thrown into the air when large cities in India, Pakistan, the United States or Russia burned. They then took this ash as the basis of their climate prediction calculations to track how this ash would move around the world, as well as where and how much it would affect food production.
In the event of a nuclear war between the US and Russia, the model showed that the planet’s winds would raise swirling clouds of smoke and particulate matter into the skies over major food exporters such as the US, China, Germany and the UK.
“Global crops, livestock and fish will fall by 90 percent, leading to further spread of famine, destruction and collapse,” the scientists said.
It will be remembered that the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant has been shelled since last week. The IAEA requests that its experts be allowed into the ZNPP. The US called for the demilitarization of the zone around the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, but Russia refused.
Experts say the consequences of what is happening could be catastrophic. More about this in the material It will be worse than Chernobyl: what is happening at ZNPP.
