"nuclear winter" - But dont'we have a global warming right now? the things will nicely balance off.

[Proud2BeRight]

Well, there goes global warming.

A regional exchange of relatively small nuclear weapons could plunge the world into a decade-long "nuclear winter", destroying agriculture and killing millions, according to a new study.

Well between this and global warming mebbe we could even things out. I say light up iran and Mr. Kim and save the planet!

Its amazing that people get paid to recycle the same old crap year after year.

A human creature made "Little Ice Age," similar to the one made from the the explosion of [Anak] Krakatoa a couple of centuries ago? (And the earlier one during European Dark Age times, when the original Krakatoa blew).

Uh, decade after decade.

Where's Carl Sagan when you need him?

This idea isn't that stupid.

A large volcano explosion can toss up enough dirt and dust into the air to block enough sunlight to lower temperatures enough that crops fail; replacing one moderate volcano with a hundred nuclear explosions to cause a similar effect isn't such a stretch.

It must be the 1980's again....

Debora MacKenzie "may" be a head case

[mkjessup]

There is just no pleasing these people, first they're whining about global warming, NOW they're wringing their hands about "nuclear winter", hey either get naked or put on a sweater, but *SHUT UP ALREADY!!!*

[Publius6961]

Well, what better solution to "global warming"?

It's a whole lot better than those stupid "carbon credits!"

Quick, someone tell Algore, we've found an equitable and economical way to end his global worming! Bomb Iran.

NewScientist, my @ss. This is one of the the same propaganda mills that keeps saying we're doomed, screwed blued, and tattooed. Paul Ehrlich and Rachel Carson started this cottage industry, and proved that people could get quite prosperous doing it..

[ronnie raygun]

WHAT WILL AL GORE DO NOW!!!! He will do just what he's been doing all along heating and air conditioning all of his homes, driving his SUV's, flying to and fro on the airlines, and convincing all of us global warming is real! I can't help laughing when he had a conference on global warming in NYC DURING A HEAVY SNOW STORM. The only thing GREEN in his life is his shorts

[editor-surveyor]

Where's Carl Sagan when you need him?

Getting his tootsies toasted in a hot, stinky place, no doubt.

[YOUGOTIT]

But did I not read last week or week before that a group of so called scientist wanted to place dust in the air to keep global warming from taking place?

Whether it is global warming, global cooling, or nuclear winter it will certainly be due to Republican abuse of the planet and will hit minorities the hardest.
