That'll cut consumption a bit...
It'd have to be much bigger than the last two piddling efforts, iufg. They barely made a dent in global populations with their pathetic 85 million and 16 million death tolls. Even throwing in the Spanish Flu of 1918, the global populations have not merely recovered, but skyrocketed since 1945.
I'd estimate that the next war would need to kill a couple of billion people minimum to even slow things down a bit.
