The term "nuclear winter" does have to do with blocking out the sun. But the mass initial death will be from vaporizing humans at ground zero. That will also knock out communication and transportation. The next worry would be radiation of food sources and water. Mega volcanos have caused climate change too. Blocking out the sun, on top of the radiation will kill off lots of food sources, on top of the radiation.
Instead of speculating who will start what, how about offering up solutions to avoid what nobody in humanity should want.
For someone who claims to have voted for Obama, you sure talk like a libertarian.
Global warming is not hoax. It is fact. It is not insane to want to protect the only home all 7 billion of us live on.
A nuclear war WILL NOT be limited. It will be a domino effect. There are approximately 14,500 nuclear weapons from both friend and foe alike worldwide.
It may not kill us to the point of extinction, although I think it could. But at a minimum it would be global, and would knock humanity, if we survived initially, to the point of killing our neighbors for resources.
"Insane environmentalists" Yea, why would I want pesky things like clean water, clean food, and less drastic weather?
Kudos for the bold statement in your reply to Yonadav, that's a very very big possibility. Remaining humans -if any remained-would be natural enemies.
