Do you remember anything like this back in the day growing up? Because I sure don't. I only see right wing peeps (or other in this case) bring it up as some sort of counterweight argument.
Vaguely??? But, I do remember Sagan's theory of nuclear winter. That being "said", as a youngster studying climatology in the 80s, I had those same opinions, but there wasn't much supporting data, and the data that was out there definitely wasn't very well circulated in the media. In fact, it was based more on comparisons of past paleo-climate trends than actual models. Of course, now it is apparent that with all the data supporting current trends that the hypothesis was wrong.
