One could hypothesize That in the 40-60's when all the powers tested nukes, that the mushroom clouds put so much crap in the air, that it was cooling the earth, and maybe why science claimed a global cooling back then.
So, In the best interest of the world, I think we should restart testing of nukes and use the middle east as the "proving grounds" all for the betterment of cooling the earths global temps. |

Not that big of a "deal", and taken altogether, I doubt that all of the test bombs during that period added together had even as much of a global cooling effect as the occasional "big" volcanic eruption. That's my "take." Because, with the exception of the two Japanese cities at the end of World War Two, there weren't any real targets.
They had test targets like buildings and ships, but not one of the above ground nuclear bomb tests created the amount of smoke and soot that would have resulted from using a nuclear bomb to destroy a major city. There were above ground tests that exploded at altitudes that were high enough that it didn't cause "stuff" at ground level to rise into the atmosphere. There were below ground tests that did not release "stuff" into the atmosphere in any significant way, except for a "little" radioactivity.

I hope I haven't inconvenienced anyone by using up all of the available quotation (") marks.
