To which extent to you think preparing for nuclear winter could increase the risk of nuclear war (likelihood or severity), and therefore be an information hazard? I would be happy if you could point me to any research that looks into this. As of now:
I tend to agree that preparing for a nuclear winter will increase the risk of nuclear war.
However, at the current margin, I guess that increase in risk is greatly outweighed by the benefits of preparation, as guessed in Denkenberger 2022.
