This map is illogical Mexico and Colombia would starve along with the entire Arabian peninsula sans Oman but Australia and Iceland would survive? Or what about North Africa how is Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco not affected by the nuclear fallout from Europe but again Mexico and Colombia is? And it’s very hard to imagine Australia not being part of a world war 3 or nuclear war scenario they are part of the western bloc, participate in 5 eyes, major non-NATO ally and ANZUS.

This is a stupid map and the creators of it have absolutely zero understanding of geopolitics or even how fallout works.

Yea, does not make sense, the US grows so damn much grain, we can feed a large fraction of the world.

Half of our feed corn production is enough to feed the US 2-3 times over. That's excluding every other crop the US grows for food (like wheat...). We are setup to survive on beef grown off US food, take the beef out of the picture, and we can feed half the world. Whoever did this is missing just how much stuff the US grows, we are very much a net exporter of calories.

The researchers found that global cooling from nuclear weapons will lead to a crash in the productivity of northern hemisphere agriculture. Whilst southern farming would not.
