This moves me somewhat, though I would still really love to see a serious examination of nuclear winter to get better estimates
Agreed!
getting to 5% of 95% population loss conditional on nuclear war seems really high esp given it does not seem to condition on great power war alone.
I have clarified above the 5 % is conditional on a nuclear war causing a population loss of at least 10 % (not just a nuclear war).
Thanks, this makes a lot of sense then!
