The main thing I would like people to take away is that we remain uncertain what would be more damaging about a nuclear conflict: the direct destruction, or its climate-cooling effects.
I arrived at the same conclusion in my analysis, where I estimated the famine deaths due to the climatic effects of a large nuclear war would be 1.16 times the direct deaths.
Great points, Stan!
I am not confident this is the crux.
