According to the paper, a nuclear war between India and Pakistan could send between 5 and 47Tg of soot into the stratosphere. Even more devastating, a U.S.-Russian nuclear war may produce up to 150Tg of soot, causing a nuclear winter.

When a nuclear weapon is detonated, the immense amount of energy released vaporizes everything within a certain radius, depending on the power of the bomb. Close to the epicenter of the explosion, it can reach temperatures of up to 180,000,000 F. These widespread fires and destruction, combined with the atmospheric disturbance caused by the shockwaves of the bomb, would cause large amounts of soot and other aerosols to be carried away by the atmosphere around the globe, blocking out sunlight.

Crops need sunlight to grow, with productivity dropping as a result of decreasing sunlight levels. The authors predicted that in an extreme 150 Tg scenario, we would fall short on worldwide calories required by 74 percent. For reference, adult women require between 1,600 and 2,400 calories a day, and men need 2,000 to 3,000.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reported in 2010 that 51 percent of global food calories comes from cereals (which include wheat, rye, rice, oats and maize), 31 percent from vegetables, fruit, and other plant-based products, and 18 percent from animal products like meat, dairy and eggs.

That sounds like a globalist’s wet dream.

Total extinction is the only hope for humanity.

Wow! Some former perts figured this out all by themselves?

[BenLurkin]

It does seem that way sometimes.

I will only be happy if 90% of calories come from STEAK and EGGS and POULTRY and PORK.

And 5% from fruit.

And 5% from the love of Donald Trump.

Sounds like the Neocons are giving up on Ukraine. At the beginning of the war there, the media was claiming that a nuclear war wouldn’t be ‘that bad’. But now that they’re about through with Ukraine, they’re being forced to walk that back.

[BenLurkin]

There are some hopeful signs that the Russians in the south will pull back to the left bank of the Dnieper and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donetsk People’s Republic may be on the verge of collapsing. A combination of the two might finally bring an end to a really stupid and brutal war.

But we’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when, but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day.

Great. More fear.

[BenLurkin]

A simple cave with two years of food and water might work better if you were the only person who knew it existed — and where it was.

[BenLurkin]

I’m not worried. It would all be over for me in the very first hour.

[Big Red Badger]

That was a Great Song!

Thanks Ultron!

Fear mongering clickbait.
