New Study Shows Nuclear War's Threat to Global Food Supply

New Study Shows Nuclear War's Threat to Global Food Supply

Scientists have studied how a nuclear war could cause a 'nuclear winter,' blocking sunlight and harming crops.

They used corn to see how it might affect the world's food.

Soot and dust would decrease sunlight, leading to crop failure.

Even worse, nuclear explosions would also increase dangerous UV-B radiation, damaging plants and reducing harvests.

The study highlights the long-term effects of a nuclear war, potentially threatening food supplies worldwide.
