...scientific body, the National Academy of Sciences. Three years ago, Paul Crutzen, a Dutch meteorologist who is now director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, West Germany, suggested that a cataclysmic nuclear war could be followed by a period of icy gloom. Later, Atmospheric Scientist Richard Turco of R&D Associates in Marina del Rey, Calif., Astronomer Carl Sagan of Cornell University and a handful of other researchers elaborated on the idea, concluding that the cold, which they called nuclear winter, could last for months.

Isolated detonations the only kind we have witnessed in our experience with nuclear weapons to date do not generate enough dust and soot to create any long term atmospheric changes. But any nuclear war between the superpowers is likely to involve thousands of warheads...
