Consequences of Nuclear Weapons
Emerging of New Nuclear States
About 35 nuclear reactors are being built in countries including South Korea, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovakia. Spain, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany have had their nuclear production capacity increased.
Famine and Food Price Rising
If nuclear conflict broke out between countries or near countries that produced large amounts of livestock or grains for the world, the crops would be damaged and would be unsafe for human consumption. Prices for the food would rise and put heavy strain on countries that import these goods. This would make food less accessible to those living in poverty and millions could be out of food.
Nuclear Winter and Climate Change
At the very worst, a nuclear war would result in the Earth being plunged into a nuclear winter. Nuclear Winter is caused by the uplifting of smoke and soot into the atmosphere in a massive volcanic eruption fashion. This would, in turn, block out the sun over large portions of the northern hemispheres, i.e. most first world nations. Temperatures would begin to drop significantly and food shortages would arise due to a lack of sufficient agricultural support. The ozone layer would be severely damaged.
