India–Pakistan nuclear conflict won’t just be a border issue: 2019 'Nostradamus' study warns it could starve the world

A 2019 scientific study predicted the year 2025 as a flashpoint for a possible nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan. Following the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025, this warning appears more relevant than ever. The study outlines the potential consequences of a nuclear exchange—millions of deaths, global famine, and long-lasting climate disruption. Carried out by leading US universities, the research warns that the devastation would not be limited to South Asia, but would affect the entire planet.
