I don't understand what the big fear is here:
Some of the scientists who first advanced the controversial "nuclear winter" theory more than two decades ago have come up with another bleak forecast: Even a regional nuclear war would devastate the environment.
Using modern climate and population models, researchers estimated that a small-scale nuclear conflict between two warring nations would cause 3 million to 17 million immediate casualties and lead to a dramatic cooldown of the planet that could lead to crop failures and further misery.
Sounds to me like a small-scale nuclear war would be the perfect thing to get rid of that nasty global warming that's also supposed to lead to such misery.

Kind of the "damned if you DO, and damned if you DON'T" conundrum.

I got a kick out of the Oprah show last week in which she permitted Al Gore to promote his film (which Hollywood liberals will probably give an Oscar, knowing them) and to show off bits of his slide show. Oprah was clearly a wide-eyed believer.
When they finally asked other experts for their views, the first real scientist to be interviewed said that Al Gore's theory was unequivocal "science fiction."
But don't be too quick to laugh. A sci-fi author named L. Ron Hubbard morphed sci-fi novels into Dianetics and then to Scientology.....
Don't let anybody tell you Homo Sapiens has outgrown superstition, or voodoo for that matter.
