Fireballs could reach temperatures of up to 100 million degrees Celsius whilst a nuclear winter would envelop every corner of the globe, state scientists in the Nature journal. They assert that both Australia and New Zealand would survive.
Armageddon expert Annie Jacobson, author of Nuclear War: A Scenario, utilised scientific papers and defence experts to predict what would transpire should the world's 12,000 nuclear weapons be launched. On The Diary of a CEO podcast, she stated: "Hundreds of millions of people die in the fireballs, no question."
Annie elucidated that it would also wreak havoc for areas that survived the initial blasts. She explained: "Places like Iowa andUkrainewould be just snow for 10 years, and so agriculture would fail. When agriculture fails, people just die."
The expert suggests that approximately three billion individuals could survive the initial explosions, but their lives would be drastically altered. She posits that Australia and New Zealand would largely endure the nuclear winter and continue to cultivate crops.
