Yeah, I always wondered about that. I mean, a nuclear war would dump an enourmous amount to heat into the atmosphere, which you would figure would raise global climates. But if it's the firestorms and not just the groundbursts that are blotting out the sun, I guess that makes more sense.
no
its depens wat tharget you hit: City or underground bunker
Michael Mills and Owen B. Toon from University of Colorado
made simulation of small Nuclear war India and Pakistan with 50 Nukes and Nuclear winter senario
also senario with 100 nukes with 15 kt (1.5 MT) would produce five million tonnes of dirt into the air
In large parts of North America and Eurasia, the temperature falls by several degrees,
In the affected regions was also the biggest part of the grain-growing areas.
Even in the world, far from the place of nuclear war, there would be major climatic consequences. "
That of a regional nuclear war could take up to ten years !!!
after Nuclear winter ? Ultraviolet summer !
In the middle latitudes, according to scientists, a loss of up to 40 percent of ozone are expected
This decrease in the ozone layer varies according to latitude, but for three years,
the average global shift to the level of today's Antarctic ozone hole to fall.
From sunlight caused damage in plants would According to the calculations
132 percent increase, people would have an increase of 213 percent for DNA damage can be expected.
