What a Nuclear War Would Do to the World

 

A nuclear exchange ends in an Armageddon effect for the human race. Nuclear-triggered fires would produce smoke that would eventually climb into the stratosphere, where it would spread globally within weeks.

There would be a dramatic decline in surface sunlight, global temperatures would fall, and precipitation would drop. There would be famine and mass starvation around the world.

An all-out war between America and NATO, versa Russia or China, probably would mean the end of our world.

More than half of the U.S. population would be killed initially, and the survivors would be exposed to radiation high enough to cause lowered disease resistance and a greater incidence of fatal cancer.

1-megaton fireballs are many times brighter than the Sun, even at a distance of 50 miles. This thermal flash lasts many seconds and accounts for more than one-third of the weapon’s explosive energy.

The intense heat can ignite fires and cause severe burns on exposed flesh as far as 20 miles from a large thermonuclear explosion.

The blast wave extends outward at thousands of miles per hour and then slows as it spreads. It carries about half the bomb’s explosive energy and is responsible for most physical destruction.

In an all-out war, cities worldwide would be targeted with multiple weapons, and lethal fallout would cover much of the United States. Survivors could avoid fatal radiation exposure only when sheltered with adequate food, water, and medical supplies.

Diminished disease resistance could lead to death from common infections because the population would be deprived of adequate medical facilities.

The spread of diseases from contaminated water supplies, inadequate sanitary facilities, and lack of medicines will kill millions more.

Many survivors would have severe skin burns, radiation sickness, and untreated injuries, and there would be shortages of everything, leading to a complete breakdown of society.

Soot from the fires of burning cities after a nuclear exchange would be injected high into the atmosphere. The result would be a drop in global temperature, probably colder than the previous ice age.

In the world’s agricultural regions, the temperature could be below freezing for a year or more, and precipitation would fall by 90%.

The bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 had yields of 16 and 21 kilotons; today’s bombs yield 100 kilotons and 800 kilotons or more.

Revelations 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

James 1:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

James 1:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

Luke 21:9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
