At that great height – far above the clouds – it cannot be rained out, meaning that it will remain there for years, darkening the sky and thereby drying and chilling the planet. ![]() There it spreads around the planet and blocks the sun’s light. The storm-force winds fan the flames and create immense heat.įrom this firestorm large columns of smoke and soot rise up above the burning cities and travel all the way up to the stratosphere. But this consequence – ‘nuclear winter’ and the worldwide famine that would follow – is now believed to be the most serious consequence of nuclear war.Ĭities that are attacked by nuclear missiles burn at such an intensity that they create their own wind system, a firestorm: hot air above the burning city ascends and is replaced by air that rushes in from all directions. Radioactive dust from the detonating bombs rises up into the atmosphere and spreads out over large areas of the world from where it falls down and causes deadly levels of radiation. The first reason for this is nuclear fallout. ![]() The shockwave and heat that the detonation of a single nuclear weapon creates can end the lives of millions of people immediately.īut even larger is the devastation that would follow a nuclear war. ![]()
