World leaders have used our studies previously as an impetus to end the nuclear arms race in the 1980s, and five years ago to pass a treaty in the United Nations to ban nuclear weapons,\u201d Robock said. \u201cWe hope that this new study will encourage more nations to ratify the ban treaty.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Current global affairs should be a wake-up call, added Harrison. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current war in Ukraine with Russia and how it has affected gas prices, really shows us how fragile our global economy and our supply chains are to what may seem like regional conflicts and perturbations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Their models are not unlike what happens during massive volcanic eruptions, researchers noted. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can avoid nuclear war, but volcanic eruptions are definitely going to happen again. There\u2019s nothing we can do about it, so it\u2019s important when we\u2019re talking about resilience and how to design our society that we consider what we need to do to prepare for unavoidable climate shocks,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cWe can and must, however, do everything we can to avoid nuclear war. The effects are too likely to be globally catastrophic.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
