2AC – Nuclear WinterAny risk of U.S. Russia war accesses extinction – nuclear winter outweighs.Yegorov ‘19 (Oleg Yegorov, received his Ph.D. in the microbiology from The Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the Academy of Science in Kiev, Ukraine, 1997. He conducted his post-doctoral training in Germany, U.S.A. and Canada prior to coming to the University of Florida. At University of Montreal he was involved in developing technology for personalizing RNA-loaded dendritic cell immunotherapies for HIV, other infectious diseases, and cancer. In 2014, Dr. Yegorov joined the University of Florida faculty in order to explore the role of newly-developed tools such as next generation sequencing in the genetic characterization of tumors and immune responses in patients with brain tumors. He expects that approaching immunogenomics as information science, in pursuit of an increasingly comprehensive view of connectivity within the immune system at rest and under challenge, is likely to lead to new and better strategies for immune intervention. "Nuclear winter: Will Russia and the U.S. destroy the world?," No Publication, 04-22-2019, https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/330267-what-is-nuclear-winter-russia-us-war)(Shiv) Imagine the following: Moscow and Washington fail to reach a diplomatic solution to their conflicts, and then unleash their nuclear weapons. They annihilate major cities, turning them into seas of fire: at such high temperatures even ferroconcrete incinerates. Conflagrations are so wide-scale that they create firestorms which not only kill every breathing creature but also throw a great amount of soot into the atmosphere. And that’s where the real problems begin. Lethal cool-down Soot and dust rise to the stratosphere where they form dense layers of clouds that block sunshine. “After the soot clouds are formed, sun rays don’t reach the ground which leads to an abrupt cool-down,” wrote Soviet mathematician Nikita Moiseyev, who led the development of a mathematical model of the environmental consequences following a possible nuclear war in the 1980s. “According to our calculations, in the first month after a nuclear war the average temperature on Earth will decline by 15-20 degrees, perhaps even 25 degrees Celsius, and then continue to decline for several months,” Moiseyev added. The model he developed with his colleagues assumed that a nuclear conflict would take place in the Northern Hemisphere; thus, the U.S., Europe and the USSR would be utterly destroyed by nuclear bombs with an equivalent of 5-7,000 megatons of TNT. In this scenario, of course, nothing good can be expected for the rest of the planet. For several months a “nuclear twilight” – a constant night with no sun – and “nuclear winter” would prevail, freezing the ground at a depth of several meters, depriving any survivors of freshwater. Add to this a global dome of soot that would cover Earth for months, as well as tremendous amounts of radiation, storms and typhoons that would crash onto shores due to climate perturbations and mass famine – death would be inevitable for every living creature. “Humanity won’t be able to survive a nuclear winter,” stated Moiseyev. “No one would remain alive to witness the post-nuclear spring.” Download 0.83 Mb.
