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.
