of course global temps can be affected. Pop off a few nukes
and wait.

Like the above ground nuke testing done in the 50's and still done
occasionally today?

ok, I shouldn't said "a few nukes." I should have said: pop off a few
thousand nukes with the intent to put billions on tons of dust into
the air. Anyone want to claim that this wouldn't affect global temps?

I can't claim one way or the other as I don't know if a few thousand
nukes would really put billions of tons of dust in the air. I doubt it.
And I don't know how many tons a large volcano launches, but I doubt
it is billions either. I do doubt that we have enough nukes to launch
enough dust to dramatically alter the global temps, but I don't have
even close to enough data to claim that as fact.
