Scientists from NASA and a number of other institutions have recently been modeling the effects of a war involving a hundred Hiroshima-level bombs, or 0.03 percent of the world's current nuclear arsenal, according to National Geographic (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/02/110223-nuclear-war-winter-global-warming-environment-science-climate-change/). The research suggests five million metric tons of black carbon would be swept up into the lowest portion of the atmosphere.

The result, according to NASA climate models, could actually be global cooling.

What comes to my mind is that war is much worse for the environment than fossil fuels.

This sounds to me like the plot of every SyFy channel cheesy Saturday night movie. Whatever is wrong with the world, just drop a nuke on it. That always fixes it. :/

Man is not mature enough to have nuclear power. Unfortunately, we do.
