Nuclear war will destroy 5 billion people: what will become the last shelter of humanity

According to Jacobsen, in the case of nuclear escalation between the US, Russia, China and their allies, the Northern Hemisphere will face total destruction, nuclear winter, global famine and radiation poisoning. And territories such as Iowa and Ukraine will be under the snow and agriculture will be impossible. "In places such as Iowa and Ukraine, there will be only snow for over 10 years. Agriculture will collapse, and when agriculture is collapsed, people simply die.

In addition, you will have radiation poisoning, because the ozone layer will be so damaged and destroyed that you will not be able to be on the street. She described the horrors of nuclear winter when smoke and soot from large -scale fires hang over the planet as a giant shadow. The temperature will drop 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and food will be shortage.

The journalist refers to Professor Owen Tuna, published in the Nature Food, according to which more than 5 billion people will die from the effects of nuclear winter. However, 3 billion can survive - this applies to the southern hemisphere of the planet. The fact is that Australia and New Zealand are distinguished by their distance from the zones of possible nuclear blows, as well as climatic and geographical conditions, favorable to agriculture.

The island position in the South and Pacific enables these countries to avoid major rainfall that will spread in the atmosphere of the Northern Hemisphere. Jacobsen also emphasized that thanks to the ocean currents and winds, most of the radioactive particles will not reach these countries. In the face of global food shortages, Australia and New Zealand can maintain the ability to produce food and provide surviving.

But for those who will not be able to evacuate, there is only an opportunity to hide in anti -radiation storage. According to Jacobsen, such storage facilities should be equipped with thick concrete or steel walls, air filtration system and food and water supplies for a long time. We will remind, the journalists of The Wall Street Journal told about the consequences of a large -scale nuclear war.
