More than 5 billion people would die of hunger following a full-scale nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia, according to a global study led by Rutgers climate scientists that estimates post-conflict crop production.
“The data tell us one thing: We must prevent a nuclear war from ever happening,” said Alan Robock, a Distinguished Professor of Climate Science in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers-New Brunswick and co-author of the study. Lili Xia, an assistant research professor in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, is lead author of the study published in the journal Nature Food.

That and everyone left will be living in hell. Read the book Nuclear War by Annie Jacobson. It’s all compiled from official advisors and governments. It’s nightmarish. Long story short, no one wins a nuclear war.

The effects of nuclear winter have been postulated since the 1950s. Nothing new here .

Is this something new that they just found out?
Could have asked me.

They had to do a study on this? Anyone who knows what nuclear winter is already knew this. If you aren’t one of the people killed in the initial blasts, what remains of your short life would be fighting, starving, suffering, sickness, and death. Even if you’re a prepper, you’re still in for a world of hurt.

Think we’ve all been hearing this long enough.
A lot of people just don’t care anymore. We’re all guaranteed to die at some point. Sure, life is obviously preferable, but I’m personally tired of having a hypothetical nuclear gun being held to our heads and hearing about it.
People die in vast numbers every day, some very horribly, too already. People already die unnecessarily of starvation and unnecessary cruelty.
