The term nuclear winter it is accepted to describe natural disaster which will result from use of nuclear weapon. Today there are many various theories, and some scientists confirm scale and tragic element of nuclear war, and others, speaking about nuclear winter, perceive information as the myth. The similar theory was stated as a result of carrying out various experiments in deserts and oceans.
Consequences of nuclear winter
Many scientists still conduct the disputes concerning what will happen to Earth and people after use of nuclear weapon. There are different options, since quite harmless and finishing catastrophic. All of them are only theoretical. Scientists could count how many the nuclear winter can last, so they managed to establish that this period will proceed from 1.5 to 12 months in the Northern hemisphere and from 1 to 8 months in Youzhny. At the same time, considering uncertainty of models and a possibility of dragged-out nuclear war, allocate the following theoretical options:
- The safest option – decrease in temperature by one degree for one year.
- One year can pass without summer, and similar decrease in temperature will lead to death of a harvest, and, therefore, to hunger.
- If the nuclear winter holds on 10 years, then temperature on Earth will drop approximately by 30-40 degrees. The most part of the planet will become covered by snow that will lead to new Ice Age.
- The global cold snap will be a consequence of the previous scenario and on Earth there will be the same temperature condition, as in Antarctica.
How to survive in nuclear winter?
Many people believe in reality of nuclear war therefore they developed the action plan for a long time to survive. Councils for survival in nuclear winter:
- It is the best of all to live in rural areas as usually the attack is directed to the large cities.
- Get rid of any cargo, in this case it concerns pets which should be fed. Best of all lower them on will. Travel alone.
- Because of allocation of a large amount of soot and smoke temperature therefore it is necessary to be warmed will significantly fall. Besides there will be a mass destruction of an ozone layer, and people will die from cancer skin therefore it is also necessary to disappear from the sun.
- Find means for protection to beat off potential cannibals and to get to themselves food.
- Do not disdain insects who are rather nutritious as they are protein sources.
