Regional war could spark "unprecedented climate change," experts predict.
Even a regional nuclear war could spark "unprecedented" global cooling and reduce rainfall for years, according to U.S. government computer models.
Widespread famine and disease would likely follow, experts speculate.
Earth is currently in a long-term warming trend. After a regional nuclear war, though, average global temperatures would drop by 2.25 degrees F (1.25 degrees C) for two to three years afterward, the models suggest.

Actually, this is a revival of the “Nuclear Winter” scare which predated the Global Warming scare which predated the Climate Change scare which predated the Global Climate Catastrophe scare.I think they see it as a possible solution. Cures global warming and kills of some of those pesky humans at the same time. Win-win!

Cool. Let’s start with NY City and San Fran. They really care about the issue, so they probably won’t mind the inconvenience.
No fair trying to flee before the blasts, either. NPG, guys, NPG.
It’s for mother gaia.
