It's not "trust us, we're scientists", it's "trust us, we've published extensive peer-reviewed evidence backing up what we're saying, so if you don't believe us you can pick an informed argument".
Nuclear winter is one of the more testable scenarios in global climate, since we have small-scale approximations whenever a big volcano erupts. There's been some good recent research at http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2007/2006JD008235.shtml http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2007/2006JD008235.shtml
I am not a climate scientist, but I've been driven crazy enough by people's vague arguments to track down foundational papers around some of these issues. Please, all I want is some decent research links for any skeptical stuff, no more cheap shots.
