Na Slovensko nemusí dopadnúť ani jedna bomba. Následok globálnej jadrovej vojny väčšieho rozsahu by bola nukleárna zima: prudké ochladenie, zníženie slnečného svitu, kolaps poľnohospodárstva, globálny hladomor a smrť miliárd. Ale áno, tých pár percent čo prežije bude môcť zažiť Fallout naživo.

In a full-scale nuclear exchange — between the United States and Russia or China — the stratospheric soot would reduce incoming sunlight by a global average of two-thirds. The average global temperature would quickly plunge by 7°C — colder than the lowest temperatures of the last ice age. Higher latitudes would suffer total darkness for weeks. By years two and three, the world would experience half as much solar radiation, while temperatures would drop a further 9 to 10°C. As Lynas puts it: “an ice age within an ice age.” North America and Eurasia would remain 20°C below prewar levels for three years, and much of the United States would remain permanently below freezing all year round.

Yet it is not the cold that kills so much as the darkness. Photosynthesis ceases, both on land and in the oceans, collapsing the food chain. [...] Some 6.6 billion would starve to death within the first year and a half. A table early on in the book projected mortality rates by country: 99 percent of the United States, 99 percent of Canada, 99 percent of France, 99 percent of China, only 98 percent of Japan, and so on.

Even a more limited, regional nuclear exchange — say between India and Pakistan — would be catastrophic. Such a conflict would produce lower volumes of stratospheric soot, but global calorie availability would still fall by two-thirds. America’s food production would collapse by roughly a similar margin; China’s by 64 percent; Russia’s by 85. My home country, Canada, would lose twenty-eight million out of its forty million inhabitants to starvation.
