I agree. If you haven't already done so see my comments at this thread (which I wrote before coming across the article above, HT utility monster). I plan on taking a closer look at the nuclear winter issue in particular (which seems unusually susceptible to quantification).

Nuclear Autumn seems much more likely. This article does a soft comparison of likely nuclear exchange scenarios with the K-T strike. I haven't looked up their references but they sound applicable.

That Skeptoid article's references are quite old. Encyclopedia of Earth's nuclear winter article discusses more recent scientific work.

HT utility monster

Didn't I tell you about the Hellman piece in SF?

If you did I have no memory of it; maybe you pointed it out to utilitymonster when he was in SF? He just sent me a link to the piece today.

I pointed it out to utilitymonster a number of months ago, when he was not in SF. No worries.
