- Survivors would face extreme scarcity of food, water, and shelter.
- A global medical catastrophe is predicted, with the loss of vaccines and treatments for common diseases.
- Reduced immunity combined with poor hygiene would lead to widespread disease.
- Hospitals would likely be destroyed or contaminated, unable to provide aid.
- A 'nuclear winter' could cause a mini ice age with drastically lowered temperatures.
- The cold and radiation would make soil unusable for food production, leading to global food shortages.
- Australia and New Zealand are considered the most likely countries to survive a nuclear war.
- Nuclear war would cause irreparable consequences, including mass death, ecological collapse, widespread disease, agricultural destruction, and immense loss of human resources.
