Named 5 countries that can survive the nuclear winter

Scientists from New Zealand have named countries that can survive a hypothetical global nuclear war. There are five of them in total, they are located on the skeletons. According to Time.News the study publishes the journal Risk Analysis.

Scientists at the University of Otago assessed the impact on agriculture of a sharp decrease in solar radiation due to nuclear war, as well as in the event of a large asteroid impact or a powerful volcanic eruption.

It is noted that in the event of a nuclear war between Russia and NATO, the atmosphere may be polluted with 150 teragrams of soot (during the detonation of most warheads in the world). This can reduce agricultural production on the planet by 80%, and in the Northern Hemisphere by 100%.

The devastating effects of a nuclear winter will last from 5 to 10 years. New Zealand, Australia, Iceland, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands will be able to independently produce agricultural products, despite the decrease in temperature and the amount of sunlight, scientists say. This means that these countries have a chance to survive the nuclear winter and feed the population.
