Dear Andy,
Thanks for this. It is amazing how these results have held up in the
intervening 27 years. In fact our new climate model simulations show
that nuclear winter was correct, and that it would last longer than we
thought then. And now we know that new nuclear states can produce
enough smoke that the climate response, though not nuclear winter, would
be cliamte change unprecedented in recorded human history, with severe
agricultural impacts.

Just in case it's of interest to those pondering nuclear winter in
relation to the issues at hand, here's what may be a useful benchmark
- my 1985 cover story on nuclear winter science - first time it's been
digitized. Some familiar names quoted.
