I remember that there was work kicked off when 911 grounded global flights, and the contrails from aircraft declined reducing cloud cover, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned in this article.

Frightening stuff, climate change and nuclear weapons, not a good mix.

I'm much less worried about nukes than about climate change tbh. Looking at the big picture, they basically cap the extent of humanity's madness, presumably before it's possible to trigger a Venusification of the planet and just sterilize it outright (i.e. thermal equilibrium at ~120 degree Celsius).
