A study found that a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia would kill more than 5 billion people – just from starvation

Calorie availability and extent of food shortages for each nation are estimated following regional or global nuclear war, including impacts on major crops, livestock and fishery production.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sad to see that study having gone through peer review in Nature. The type of nuclear weapons that are in the current arsenals aren't bringing up soot into the atmosphere. That's the propaganda from the 60s and 70s speaking.
"Who are you to ... "
Agree, so read the study and see that it isn't based on the actual arsenals.
Also: "In the 1980s, there were investigations of nuclear winter impacts on global agricultural production"
That's proven and quite famous russian propaganda. Including that in their study has me doubting their motivations.
Okay, pseudonymous person on the internet, I’ll definitely take your word for it over a peer reviewed Nature paper.

Sure, Jan. Everything people don’t like is quite famously Russian propaganda these days.

meanwhile, here's a study from UK for you https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2023/aug/analysis-nuclear-war-would-be-more-devastating-earths-climate-cold-war-predictions
The very fact that you posted this is all the citation anyone needs.
Everything coming from you is phony because you’re a big fat phony!

Yeah, that doesn't prove anything. It's just some researcher speculating that maybe it won't be so bad after all. Anybody who would gamble the fate of humanity on this analysis is an absolute imbecile. Out of curiosity, how many billions dying would be acceptable to your psychopathic mind?
"just some researcher"
Maybe try clicking those multiple links?
I did, and I'm not impressed. How many billions dying is acceptable to you?
Did they say that it'll be the other sides billions, not theirs? I am so jaded that this discussion doesn't feel right without someone saying that their people will prosper after they nuke everyone else. With some bullshit that obviously the other sides nukes won't work but all of theirs will.
Today's nuclear arsenals won't kill billions. Russia is behind that propaganda.
Literally linked you two peer reviewed western studies that say otherwise. You're the only one spreading propaganda here. The fact that you think this something that should be gambled with shows that you're a sick individual.
Oh nobody's denying that there aren't academics who easily fall for Russian propaganda. I mean, even Carl Sagan fell for the one where all this started.
That doesn't change that we now know better.

Except we don't know better. We just have psychopaths such as yourself trying to convince people that a nuclear holocaust wouldn't be all that bad actually. Scum like you are driving us ever closer to nuclear annihilation.
This sort of obviously emotionaly driven vitriol makes it look like you want people to belive this regardless of if it truth as you feel it serves an important goal. The other person on the debate has shown an understanding of the issue and history of this topic while remaining civil, I don't see you counter any of his points or raise any evidence in your favor outside gishgallop links which you provide without explanation or demonstrated understanding.
I don't know or really care who's right because it's meaningless but you certainly don't look like the person with a valid position here.
two peer reviewed western studies
wait you trust the rotten west's science?
Anybody who understands how science works trust peer reviewed science. Perhaps you don't understand the concept of peer review?
That's proven and quite famous russian propaganda.
