Temperatures would plunge in a bigger shift than the last Ice Age and crops would fail around the world after nuclear war erupted, a study has shown.
The after-effects would be long-lasting with oceans taking hundreds of years to recover, and fishing devastated, the researchers warn.
Professor Cheryl Harrison, of Louisiana State University, said: "It doesn't matter who is bombing whom. It can be India and Pakistan or NATO and Russia. Once the smoke is released into the upper atmosphere, it spreads globally and affects everyone."
In all the simulated scenarios, nuclear firestorms would release soot and smoke into the upper atmosphere that would block out the Sun, resulting in crop failure around the world.
In the first month following a nuclear exchange, average global temperatures would plunge by about seven degrees Celsius, a larger temperature change than in the last Ice Age.
Ocean temperatures would drop quickly and would not return to their pre-war state even after the smoke clears.

“We’ve got provisions, and lots of beer!”
So basically Nuclear War will counteract the horrors of Global Warming? Well, in that case, BRING IT ON, VLAD!
Oh yes. Nuclear Winter, they called it back in the 1980’s. Part of the scare porn used to try to get the West to disarm. Wonder why they are dragging it out of mothballs now. Just like the NYC PSA about a nuclear attack. What is up?
Motivating on ice means less friction to overcome. The energy savings will be enormous.
Nice!!! I’ve been sweating here for quite some time. I’m ready for some cold weather.

Good. No need to worry about global warming.
It could be they’re giving us a heads-up for what’s about to happen. Perhaps telling us, “Live life while you can, because a whole passel of you are about to DIE”.
“Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!”
Greenies, globalists, WEF, Klaus and Al are ecstatic.
“Temperatures would plunge in a bigger shift than the last Ice Age and crops would fail around the world...”
Impossible. The scientific consensus is that higher temps = bad.
Nothing will accomplish The Great Reset like World War IV.
Silliness. This is just a rehash of Carl Sagan’s predictions that were falsified. Michael Crichton destroyed his thinking.

“In 1975, the National Academy of Sciences reported on “Long-Term Worldwide Effects of Multiple Nuclear Weapons Detonations” but the report estimated the effect of dust from nuclear blasts to be relatively minor. In 1979, the Office of Technology Assessment issued a report on “The Effects of Nuclear War” and stated that nuclear war could perhaps produce irreversible adverse consequences on the environment. However, because the scientific processes involved were poorly understood, the report stated it was not possible to estimate the probable magnitude of such damage.”
“Three years later, in 1982, the Swedish Academy of Sciences commissioned a report entitled “The Atmosphere after a Nuclear War: Twilight at Noon,” which attempted to quantify the effect of smoke from burning forests and cities. The authors speculated that there would be so much smoke that a large cloud over the northern hemisphere would reduce incoming sunlight below the level required for photosynthesis, and that this would last for weeks or even longer.”
“The following year, five scientists including Richard Turco and Carl Sagan published a paper in Science called “Nuclear Winter: Global Consequences of Multiple Nuclear Explosions.” This was the so-called TTAPS report, which attempted to quantify more rigorously the atmospheric effects, with the added credibility to be gained from an actual computer model of climate.”
“According to Sagan and his coworkers, even a limited 5,000 megaton nuclear exchange would cause a global temperature drop of more than 35 degrees Centigrade, and this change would last for three months. The greatest volcanic eruptions that we know of changed world temperatures somewhere between .5 and 2 degrees Centigrade. Ice ages changed global temperatures by 10 degrees. Here we have an estimated change three times greater than any ice age. One might expect it to be the subject of some dispute.”
“But Sagan and his coworkers were prepared, for nuclear winter was from the outset the subject of a well-orchestrated media campaign. The first announcement of nuclear winter appeared in an article by Sagan in the Sunday supplement, Parade. The very next day, a highly-publicized, high-profile conference on the long-term consequences of nuclear war was held in Washington, chaired by Carl Sagan and Paul Ehrlich, the most famous and media-savvy scientists of their generation. Sagan appeared on the Johnny Carson show 40 times. Ehrlich was on 25 times. Following the conference, there were press conferences, meetings with congressmen, and so on. The formal papers in Science came months later.”
“This is not the way science is done, it is the way products are sold.
A final media embarrassment came in 1991, when Carl Sagan predicted on Nightline that Kuwaiti oil fires would produce a nuclear winter effect, causing a “year without a summer,” and endangering crops around the world”
(A final media embarrassment came in 1991, when Carl Sagan predicted on Nightline that Kuwaiti oil fires would produce a nuclear winter effect, causing a “year without a summer,” and endangering crops around the world”)
Sounds about right for Nightline.
Well, and then there was “Contact”....
We wouldn’t have to worry about Climate Change any more.................
Obviously all fake news because if nuclear bombs did that much damage to the environment, liberals absolutely wouldn’t support Joe Biden. Right?
