You’re in Control of Nothing. India and Pakistan at War
We like to believe that we are in control of our own destinies. But we really aren’t. There is nothing you and I can do to stop a war between Pakistan and India. And if they start nuking each other and cause the sun to go dark around the world for 10 years, there is nothing we can do about that. The godless freak out about everything while those of us who know Christ realize that only HE is truly in control.
*******************
A nuclear war between India and Pakistan — which share a long history of conflicts — would not only result in 50 to 125 million direct fatalities but could jeopardize the entire planet, causing sharp drops in global temperatures and precipitation that could devastate the world’s food supply, according to a new study published October 2 in Science Advances.
The authors evaluated a simulated nuclear war scenario for the year 2025 between the two countries based on advice from policy and military experts. They find that if Pakistan attacks urban targets in 2025 with 150 nuclear weapons and if India responds with 100 nuclear weapons, depending on the size of the weapons, ranging from 15-kiloton to 100-kiloton, smoke from burning cities would release 16 to 36 teragrams of black carbon into the atmosphere, blocking out sunlight and cooling the global surface by 2 to 5°C (3.6 to 9°F).
Is it just a coincidence that they picked the year 2025?
If so, that is pretty wild, because a war between India and Pakistan has just broken out.
If you read the actual study, you will discover that it says that a nuclear war between these two nations would cause “mass starvation” around the world and it would take “more than 10 years” for the global climate to fully recover…
Pakistan and India may have 400 to 500 nuclear weapons by 2025 with yields from tested 12- to 45-kt values to a few hundred kilotons. If India uses 100 strategic weapons to attack urban centers and Pakistan uses 150, fatalities could reach 50 to 125 million people, and nuclear-ignited fires could release 16 to 36 Tg of black carbon in smoke, depending on yield. The smoke will rise into the upper troposphere, be self-lofted into the stratosphere, and spread globally within weeks. Surface sunlight will decline by 20 to 35%, cooling the global surface by 2° to 5°C and reducing precipitation by 15 to 30%, with larger regional impacts. Recovery takes more than 10 years. Net primary productivity declines 15 to 30% on land and 5 to 15% in oceans threatening mass starvation and additional worldwide collateral fatalities.
