Please post your opinions on how real the threat of the Nuclear Winter would be in case of a conflict involving nuclear weapons.

The basic physics behind nuclear winter have been reaffirmed several times in scientific literature.
I don't know much about the scientific basis behind it, do you have any recent references?
There is good empirical evidence from both the K-T and tunguska events.
Tunguska had no global cooling if I remember correctly.
I haw only one Question .
Was there any Winter after Nagasaki or Hieroshima events ?
:hmm:
Neither were large enough to expell the amount of material needed for a temperature drop. Those where just one bomb at each city, while the situation that people are concerned about are countries using multiple warheads in a short amount of time (ie 200+ hieroshima sized bombs).
Don't even think of using this against global warming.
Dude. Brilliant plan! Not only do we directly solve global warming, but if the death toll is sufficiently high we help eliminate a primary cause (human industry) as well!

I'm pretty sure computer simulations have shown climactic shifts occurring if Pakistan and India got in a nuclear war.
