"Nuclear Winter Would Threaten Nearly Everyone on Earth" Topic

"If the United States and Russia waged an all-out nuclear war, much of the land in the Northern Hemisphere would be below freezing in the summertime, with the growing season slashed by nearly 90 percent in some areas, according to a Rutgers-led study.

Indeed, death by famine would threaten nearly all of the Earth's 7.7 billion people, said co-author Alan Robock, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers University–New Brunswick…"

The study in the Journal of Geophysical Research–Atmospheres provides more evidence to support The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons passed by the United Nations two years ago, Robock said.

@rmaker, yeah I remember that, they did several experiments to try and prove the theory and they all failed miserably.

Now if you nuked a few volcanoes to set off massive eruptions, it could happen…

What happens to me after an "all out nuclear war" is for me a non question. I would be dead…
