Scientists predict dramatic climate change that will affect not only the land, but the oceans as well.
The biogeochemist Dr. Tyler Rohr and colleagues used a mathematical model to model the climate and life in the oceans and on land after a nuclear war. They said a nuclear winter would seal the planet in a grip of ice, blocking major ports and trade routes, the Express wrote.
Scientists relied on the research of Carl Sagan, whose model assumes a scenario of nuclear war between the US and Russia, as a result of which about 150 billion tons of soot from burning cities will be reached in the upper atmosphere.
Now scientists are predicting dramatic climate change that will affect not only the land, but also the oceans.
“The area of Arctic sea ice will increase by 50%, blocking coastal areas used for fishing, as well as major ports and trade routes across Europe. For example, sea ice is known to blocking major ports like Copenhagen in Denmark and St. Petersburg in Russia. The study also shows that even in the event of a limited nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan, a whopping 27 to 47 billion tons of soot will enter the atmosphere. The model predicts that even in this case, the amount of Arctic sea ice will increase enough to block the most important ports in all of Northern Europe,” the statement said.
In addition, the decrease in the light of the ocean and its average temperature will lead to the death of algae, which is an important link in the food chain of life under the sea.
The worst consequences will be experienced by high latitudes, including all of Europe, and especially the Baltic countries. In these areas, researchers have already recorded the lack of ocean light.
Recall that recently the inhabitants of Las Vegas, who woke up, were very alarmed by the appearance in the sky of a cloud in the form of a mushroom from a nuclear explosion.
