Scientists have warned that a nuclear war between the United States and Russia could plunge the Earth into a ten-year winter.

The ballistic missile fires would project 147 million tonnes of soot and dust into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight for years.

Experts predict that it would take ten years for the light to return to normal – average surface temperatures dropping 9 ° C.

The atmospheric scientist, Joshua Coup, of Rutgers University, simulated how the climate would react to a total nuclear war.

The team compared its findings to a 2007 study by NASA – which also included a long winter.

They warned: "The models agree that a nuclear winter would follow a large-scale nuclear war between the United States and Russia.

"A large-scale nuclear attack would be suicidal for the country that decides to carry out such an attack.

"The use of nuclear weapons in this way by the United States and Russia would have disastrous consequences on the world.

"Ultimately, the reduction of nuclear arsenals and the final disarmament of all parties with nuclear capabilities are needed."
