In a hypothetical study, Researcher warned that even a limited-scale nucl*ar war between Pakistan and India could lead to disastrous consequences like global food shortage and mass-scale deaths.
The study was conducted by researchers at Rutgers University, United States (US), and published in a journal, Nature Food on Monday.
As per the study, less than three percent of the world’s nucl*ar stockpiles could kill one-third of the world’s population within two years if a nucl*ar conflict emerges.
The researchers detailed that a nucl*ar conflict is possible between Pakistan and India as both countries have fought four wars and still have frequent border disputes.
In view of a hypothetical situation, the study revealed that around 127 million people in South Asia would die of explosions, fires, and radiation if 100-kiloton nucl*ar weapons are used by Pakistan and India (which they claim to possess) to target each other’s urban centers.
Meanwhile, the latest study mentioned that food production would massively collapse and the number of calories available from agriculture and fisheries would drop up to 42 percent, resulting in a famine that would eventually kill 2 billion people globally. Similarly, a nucl*ar war between US and China would kill around 5 billion people worldwide.
