It's another fucking study I love these things.
Small nuclear war would destroy the world
What they saw was the stuff of nightmares:
Firestorms would belch over 5 million tons of ash into the sky.
The ash would absorb the sun’s rays, causing deadly cooling on the surface.
Global temperatures would plummet my nearly 3 degrees Farenheit on average, with most of North America experiencing winters that would be colder by 4 to 10 degrees.
Lethal frosts would cover the Earth and reduce the growing seasons bu about a month for several years.
Rainfall and other precipitation would be reduced by about 10 percent, triggering worldwide droughts and leading to wildfires in the Amazon, which would spew more smoke into the atmosphere.
The sky ash would heat the stratosphere and accelerate the chemical reactions that destroy the ozone layer.
The intense ultraviolet radiation that would get through to the surface would be a dramatic threat to human health and damage fragile ecosystems on land and sea.
“All in all, these effects would be very detrimental to food production and to ecosystems,” Mills said.
Another fucking computer model study. I think they need to change the headline.If we set off all the nukes I seriously doubt it would destroy the world.The Earth will still be here.Do they even think before they write this crap.
As always I look on the bright side.The warming of the atmosphere would be stopped in it's tracks and all those pesky humans will be dead.An enviromentalists wet dream win-win for those jackwagons.
