This is a very strong claim, and based on what I've read I do not believe it is accurate to say nuclear winter research was so off the mark as to be "inaccurate". Please see my comments further up the thread. Please cite the arguments you are basing this claim on. My understanding is that the major source of confusion was the headline of a 1990 NYT article that made it look like nuclear winter was wrong, but the actual contents were much more moderate. http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/23/science/nuclear-winter-theorists-pull-back.html?pagewanted=all&mcubz=0 http://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/23/science/nuclear-winter-the...
