New Study: 2 Billion Dead, 25 Year Winter From 'Limited' Nuclear War

By Susan Duclos


 At the rate the US is antagonizing large countries with nuclear capabilities such as Russia and China, this new study, in conjunction with one conducted last year, should horrify even those with their heads buried in the sand.

 According to a new atmospheric study, based on a "limited" nuclear war between India and Pakistan, who is noted to have weapons that seem "antique" compared to those of China, Russia and the United States, would result in the loss of 2 billion lives and cause a 25-year nuclear winter, causing worldwide crop failures and famine.

Since the powers that be undoubtedly know this and are still taking the path to igniting WW3, one can only assume this is part of some depopulation agenda.

 Via the abstract from this new study:


We present the first study of the global impacts of a regional nuclear war with an Earth system model including atmospheric chemistry, ocean dynamics, and interactive sea ice and land components. A limited, regional nuclear war between India and Pakistan in which each side detonates 50 15 kt weapons could produce about 5 Tg of black carbon (BC). This would self-loft to the stratosphere, where it would spread globally, producing a sudden drop in surface temperatures and intense heating of the stratosphere. Using the Community Earth System Model with the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, we calculate an e-folding time of 8.7 years for stratospheric BC compared to 4–6.5 years for previous studies. Our calculations show that global ozone losses of 20%–50% over populated areas, levels unprecedented in human history, would accompany the coldest average surface temperatures in the last 1000 years. We calculate summer enhancements in UV indices of 30%–80% over midlatitudes, suggesting widespread damage to human health, agriculture, and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Killing frosts would reduce growing seasons by 10–40 days per year for 5 years. Surface temperatures would be reduced for more than 25 years due to thermal inertia and albedo effects in the ocean and expanded sea ice. The combined cooling and enhanced UV would put significant pressures on global food supplies and could trigger a global nuclear famine. Knowledge of the impacts of 100 small nuclear weapons should motivate the elimination of more than 17,000 nuclear weapons that exist today.
