Nuclear war could be a reality by next year, a group of scientists has warned after worrying developments around the world.
Over 100 medical journals are now firming up a date for the world-ending conflict, which is described as “great and growing” due to the hostilities between Russia and Ukraine.
Stockpiles of nuclear weapons for president Vladimir Putin’s country has flared up worries from scientists who believe an all-out conflict would see 200 million people killed.
The war would threaten the “survival of humanity” as one journal sternly warned, with nuclear weapons putting billions of lives at risk due to a nuclear winter to follow the conflict.
The journal read: “A large-scale nuclear war between the US and Russia could kill 200 million people or more in the near term and potentially cause a global ‘nuclear winter’ that could kill 5–6 billion people, threatening the survival of humanity.
“Any use of nuclear weapons would be catastrophic for humanity.
“Even a ‘limited’ nuclear war involving only 250 of the 13,000 nuclear weapons in the world could kill 120 million people outright and cause global climate disruption leading to a nuclear famine, putting 2 billion people at risk.”
A terrifying update from the 100 medical journals comes as the Doomsday Clock moves to 90 seconds to midnight, signalling how close the world is to all out conflict, New York Post reported.
