The American media has begun to hype the Third World War again. The American media predicted in 1945 that there are 5 places where the Third World War may break out in 2023. The article reads: While we are preparing for 2023, we are studying where World War III might start - in 2022, the world will be closer to a great power war than at any time since the end of the Cold War.

The first place predicted by the article is Ukraine. The article states that since the summer, as the war has reached a devastating stalemate, concerns that Russia may use nuclear weapons to restore its flagging fortunes in Ukraine appear to have abated. However, the upgrade remains a cause for concern. Russia's inability to make progress could threaten the stability of Putin's government, prompting Moscow to consider dangerous escalations. Concerns about Ukraine's ability to continue the war in the long term may force Kiev itself to take risky measures to break the deadlock. Expanding the war to NATO remains unlikely, but possible; Russian use of nuclear weapons remains unthinkable, but not entirely impossible. The remaining locations include us, India, the Taiwan Strait, and the Korean Peninsula, Greece and Türkiye . In fact, the introduction in this article is full of American views.
And the data tells us one thing: we must prevent the occurrence of World War III and nuclear war . In the 1970s, some researchers thought that ozone in the stratosphere, which protects living things from most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, might be depleted by the massive amounts of nitrogen oxides produced by nuclear explosions. Further research speculates that nuclear explosions bring large amounts of dust into the atmosphere, which may block sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, leading to lower global temperatures. Scientists then began to consider the smoke produced by nuclear fireballs igniting vast tracts of forest, and in 1983 an ambitious study, called the TTAPS study, considered the key factors of smoke and soot produced by nuclear strikes in cities burning oil and plastic (smoke from such materials absorbs sunlight more efficiently than smoke from burning wood). TTAPS research coined the term " core winter ".
Researchers speculate that the root cause of nuclear winter is the countless huge fireballs produced by the explosion of nuclear warheads . These fireballs can ignite huge uncontrolled fires (storms) in all cities and forests within their range. Large amounts of smoke, soot and dust would rise from these fires, lifted high into the sky by their own heating where they could drift for weeks before falling or being swept out of the atmosphere to the ground. Hundreds of millions of tons of this smoke and soot will be blown away by strong west to east winds until they form a uniform band of particles, and these thick clouds can block almost all sunlight for weeks.
As a result, the resulting global sunshade clouds will turn the ground into frozen ground. A nuclear war would block sunlight across the globe for years as black carbon soot would be ejected into the upper atmosphere and cover much of the Earth in black clouds. Such a nuclear war could cause normal light levels to be less than 40% of normal near the equator and less than 5% of normal near the poles. Temperatures would reach freezing point in most temperate regions and precipitation would be severely reduced - only half of the world average. Post-disaster conditions in some humid tropical forests, such as the Congo and the Amazon Basin, may persist for 15 years, and precipitation may be reduced by 90% in the years following such events.
According to a new study, 5 billion people will starve to death after a full-scale nuclear war. Building on past studies, the researchers calculated how much shading soot would enter the atmosphere from storms ignited by nuclear weapons detonations. The researchers calculated the spread of soot in six war scenarios - five smaller wars and one large nuclear war - based on the size of each country's nuclear arsenal.
In the worst-case nuclear war scenario, more than 75% of the Earth's population would starve within two years.They then fed the data into the Community Earth System Model, a climate prediction tool supported by the Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The model can estimate the productivity of major crops (corn, rice, spring wheat and soybeans) by country, and the researchers also looked at projected changes in livestock pastures and global marine fisheries.
Even for the smallest nuclear scenario (i.e., localized nuclear war), global average heat production fell by 7% in the five years following the conflict. In the largest war scenario tested (all-out nuclear conflict) - global average heat production fell by about 90% three to four years after the end of combat. Crop production losses will be most severe in mid- and high-latitude countries, including major exporters such as Russia and the United States, and wreak havoc on import-dependent countries in Africa and the Middle East. The researchers concluded that these changes would cause catastrophic damage to global food markets. Even a 7% decline in global crop production would exceed the largest anomaly since the Food and Agriculture Organization began observing records in 1961. Under the maximum war scenario, more than 75% of the planet's population would starve within two years.
In short, the possibility of World War III and nuclear war is extremely low, because global nuclear war will lead to the destruction of human civilization. It is precisely because of the terror of nuclear weapons that people will not use them easily. Also, the predictions made by the US media above are actually unreliable. Just take a look. That’s it for today. I’m Fire Sect Lord. See you next time.
