Scientists Modeled Nuclear Winter—the Global Food Collapse Was Worse than Expected

Scientists modeled nuclear winter—the global food collapse was worse than expected

What would happen if a nuclear war triggered a climate-altering catastrophe? Researchers have modeled how such a scenario could devastate global corn crops cutting production by as much as 87% due to blocked sunlight and increased UV-B radiation. Using advanced climate-agriculture simulations, they propose a survival strategy: emergency resilience kits containing fast-growing, cold-tolerant seeds that could keep food systems afloat not just afte…

Nuclear war would cripple Earth’s food supply - Dining and Cooking

Nuclear war wouldn’t just kill people – it could kill the planet’s food supply. Imagine a world where sunlight vanishes behind thick smoke. In this scenario, temperatures crash, crops fail, and grocery store shelves go empty. That’s the chilling reality of a nuclear winter – not science fiction, but a real risk if global conflict [...]
