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?


(my response is more general in nature and not specific to Matt Barrow)

sigh

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?


As someone else pointed out, above ground testing my all the nations was
well into the thousands of detonations. More than "a few" and just about the
"few thousands".

Pinatubo in the early 90's actually lowered the world temp a couple degrees
for about two years IIRC.
