"Now scientists have re-calculated the likelihood of nuclear winter using modern, vastly improved climate models and a more likely modern scenario for small-scale nuclear war. Brian Toon, head of atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Alan Robock of Rutgers University in New Jersey, both in the US, predict less cooling than the 1980s modellers. However, they predict the cooling would last longer, with potentially devastating consequences."...This from the New Scientist [www.newscientist.com]. Notice that the article was written a little less than 3 years ago. And in that same time we went from global freezing to global incineration. I assume all of this was peer reviewed?
