5 Billion Could Die from Starvation After Nuclear War, Not Bombs

WooGlobe

A chilling new study reveals that a full-scale nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia wouldn't just kill millions with bombs — it would starve over five billion people in the years that follow. Firestorms would send massive amounts of soot into the upper atmosphere, blocking sunlight, collapsing global crop production, and triggering a famine on a scale humanity has never seen. Even smaller conflicts, like India vs. Pakistan, could disrupt the global food supply. The study urges one clear takeaway: to prevent nuclear war at all costs.  :movie_camera: Based on research published in Nature Food :globe_showing_Europe-Africa: Featuring findings from Rutgers University  Subscribe for more science-driven insights into global issues WooGlobe Ref : WGA160137 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00If the US and Russia went to nuclear war today, over 5 billion people would die, not from

00:05bombs, but from starvation.

00:07A groundbreaking study shows that nuclear firestorms would send black soot into the

00:11upper atmosphere.

00:13That soot would block out sunlight, cool the planet, and crush global crop production.

00:18Imagine a world where the sun barely shines and nothing grows.

00:22In the worst-case scenario, 90% of global food production could collapse within just

00:26four years.

00:28The fallout?

00:29A famine that could kill two-thirds of humanity.

00:32Even a smaller conflict, like India versus Pakistan, would still cut food supplies by

00:377% globally.

00:39Regions like Africa and the Middle East would suffer the worst.

00:42Major food exporters like the US and Russia would also be devastated.

00:46And don't count on feeding people with livestock crops or food waste.

00:50It wouldn't be enough.

00:51The study makes one thing painfully clear.

00:54If nuclear weapons exist, they can be used.

00:57And if they're used, humanity may never recover.

01:00So the only real solution?

01:01Ban them.

01:02So the only real solution?

01:03Ban them.
