Nuclear Winter is another discredited liberal freak idea...
Discredited by whom ?

Unlike global warming, nuclear winter theory is based on the soundest of sciences.

“Unlike global warming, nuclear winter theory is based on the soundest of sciences.”

It sure looked like it, but it is garbage. The first cracks appeared when someone took a look at the “science” they were using, plugged in how many nukes have been tested above ground, and concluded that their models showed that we should have been in the middle of a “nuclear winter” already.

Here’s a good summary: http://telicthoughts.com/political-science/

They’ve spun the theories now to say that the “nuclear winter” would actually be cause by burning cities putting too much soot into the air. Hmm, does anyone remember reading about a “bombing winter” caused by the allies leveling of a huge chunk of Europe?
