- A nuclear winter could follow, potentially killing billions and collapsing civilization.
- When a nuclear weapon detonates, a hot gas bubble forms, causing widespread fires.
- The fires create a pyrocumulonimbus cloud that carries soot into the stratosphere, potentially causing a nuclear winter.
- In a full-scale nuclear war, hundreds of firestorms could send millions of tons of soot into the atmosphere.
- Nuclear winter could lead to a drastic drop in food production, causing widespread hunger.
- The effects of nuclear winter on climate could disrupt agriculture, leading to food shortages and potential starvation.
- Various scenarios of nuclear wars between different nations could result in catastrophic death tolls, global food shortages, and potential collapse of civilization.
