Remember back in school when they said that a nuclear exchange would result in "Nuclear Winter" and the icing of the globe? That was back before Global Warming started killing off polar bears. If we were to really, seriously, nuke the bloody sh*t out of
Just like someone getting chocolate in your peanut-butter, we'd have Nuclear Global Autumn. Sweater-weather for everyone!

Not a bad idea, though polar bears and people wouldn't be able to survive the Winters. It definitely would solve the overpopulation problem as well, not to mention traffic woes in most major metropolitan areas! :-)
Maybe we should just nuke a couple of places and get a mild nuclear winter.
I'm going to make and ass out of you and me (assume) that you're joking, but if not, here goes.
Since there is no such thing, yet, as a clean nuke - the radioactive ash fallout isn't worth it. And you're further assuming that what is currently going on with the earth's climate is something we could stop anyway. While I have no doubt that mankind is polluting more than it should be, I don't think we truly know what is causing the global warming. It may be that we are accelerating a warming event through normal actions, but for all we know the heightened solar cycle is more to blame for what's going on. Not many people remember that in the 70s scientists were worried about a coming global ice age...
And frankly with my lizard genes, I'm looking forward to hotter weather. I HATE the cold.
Yeah, all true. I just like Autumn. :-)
Funny that you should post this the day before there is a headline that one of six major ice shelves in the Canadian North was discovered to have broken off the shoreline back in August of 2005.
So far it has been frozen into the sea ice, but scientists are concerned that once the sea ice thaws for Spring the shelf may eventually float into shipping lanes.
I found the story on www.comcast.net if you would like to read more.
