The world is once again on the brink. The escalation of the conflict in the Middle East — Israel, Iran, hints of involvement from nuclear powers, threats, mobilization... All of this sounds like the beginning of something much bigger than just another military crisis.
⚠️ But what will happen if the line is crossed and nuclear warheads are launched?
🔥 Explosions will trigger firestorms, megacities will turn into burning craters. Giant columns of smoke and soot will rise into the sky. These particles will ascend into the stratosphere and block the sun for months — or perhaps years.
🌫️ A nuclear winter will come.
🌡️ Temperatures will drop by 2–4 degrees.
🌨️ Ash will fall from the sky like dirty snow.
🌾 Harvests will perish.
🧊 Even hot regions will be under the spell of frost.
👥 Millions of people will not survive either the attacks themselves or what follows: hunger, cold, the collapse of infrastructure and medicine.
And this is not even a global war between superpowers — even a local exchange of strikes between countries with nuclear potential could trigger a cascade that cools the planet and turns it into ruins.
📉 The world may 'cool down,' but not in the way climate activists would hope. It will not be a rescue from global warming, but the end of modern civilization.
🕊️ Today is the last chance to take a step back. Diplomacy, sobriety, self-control.
Nuclear winter is not a theory. It is possible. And it is no longer science fiction.
