Basically in a Nuclear Winter temperatures drop to sub ice age levels because sunlight is absorbed by smoke in the stratosphere rather than reaching the ground. With less sunlight, there is less evaporation of water from the oceans, so there is less precipitation. We estimate a precipitation loss of about 55% globally. However, California seems to experience only a small loss of rainfall.
Due to cold temperatures and lowered rainfall our latest research shows that massive agricultural failures will occur following a war between the U.S., NATO, Russia and China. As a result the majority of Earth’s population will not have enough food and die by starvation. High latitude countries, such as Russia, will have the greatest death rates.

I read that a full-scale city-on-city nuclear exchange between the US and NATO vs. Russia and China would trigger a 7-8-year-long super El Nino due to the severe cooling of the atmosphere but with the ocean retaining its heat for a longer period of time, enhancing the temperature contrast between the chilled atmosphere and the relatively warm ocean. Would that supercharge cold-season atmospheric “rivers” and bomb cyclones off the west coast in the same fashion as a scaled-up Lake Affect snowstorm back East?
