Climate change due to nuclear war

Calculation results on the model on the computer of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) showed that nuclear explosions could lead to changes in the environment and the earth's climate, leading to natural disasters. Naturally incalculable.

Each atomic bomb (the size of the bomb that was dropped on Hirosima, Japan) has the power to destroy the equivalent of 15,000 tons of explosive TNT emitting about 5 million tons of black carbon into the troposphere (the lowest part of the atmosphere ). These soot blacks absorb the sun's heat and bulge out like a balloon pumping hot air and soaring.

According to NASA's model, 2-3 years after a regional nuclear war broke out, the earth's average temperature will drop to at least 1.25 ° C. In tropical regions, Europe, Asia and Alaska, temperatures can drop 3 - 4 ° C, physicist Luke Oman said.

The physicist added that changing the temperature of the Earth could lead to harsh consequences, especially in areas with frost in late spring and early autumn. For example, the following crop failures and famines in Indonesia are related to the event of Mount Tambora of the magma eruption in 1815.

The computational model also shows that rainfall on Earth will decrease by about 10% in about 1 to 4 years after the atomic bomb explosion, and the ozone layer will thin, causing a very dangerous ultraviolet ray.
