In order to prevent the "nuclear winter" or "nuclear fall" from falling on the Earth, countries should possess no more than one hundred nuclear weapons. To this conclusion came the specialists of the Michigan Technological University (Michigan Technological University), reports Michigan Tech. Scientists warn that a country that has decided first to strike a nuclear strike should clearly understand the consequences of this step and understand if it will cope with the problems that itself caused. The authors of the study, Joshua Pearce and David Denkenberger, analyzed the direct negative consequences of the use of nuclear weapons for the aggressor country. It turned out that, having made a fatal step, the state will face the threat of famine, the destruction of the world supply system of the attack and other consequences of the "nuclear autumn". According to Pierce, the threat of terrorism forced the US authorities to take care of their citizens.

However, a one-sided nuclear strike by a thousand warheads will result in the death of 50 times more Americans than the terrorists killed during the infamous 11 September 2001 attack, the scientist warns.. At the same time, he recalls that on Earth there are about 15 thousand. units of nuclear weapons. The term "nuclear winter" was proposed by physicists in the 80s. last century. It means a sharp cooling of the climate after a nuclear strike because of the dust and soot released into the atmosphere. The cause of death, according to scientists, is not the impact itself or radiation, but cold and hunger.
