Scenarios about 'nuclear winter'
Nuclear winter refers to the severe global climate cooling effect hypothesized to follow a large-scale nuclear war due to soot and smoke entering the atmosphere. This theoretical aftermath, first proposed by scientists in the 1980s, predicts devastating consequences including agricultural collapse, famine, and potential extinction-level threats to human civilization. In alternate history scenarios, nuclear winter often serves as a pivotal environmental catastrophe that fundamentally alters human society's development trajectory.
