I have no idea how you reached that conclusion.

  This is an article downplaying the severity and seriousness of the use of nuclear weapons. It was published shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine (again). Perhaps the timing is just a coincidence, but I've come to learn over the years that it's unlikely.

    This article is written in response to articles/claims proclaiming that nuclear war will cause people to become extinct (or similarly overblown claims). If they are downplaying nuclear war - can you recommend articles of a similar quality presenting claim that nuclear war is worse than presented here? And this article still presents it as an horrific disaster - and maybe it assumes that people are aware that millions would die in just opening of the nuclear war, it would be worst disaster in history. And that such thing happening would be bad. And unwanted. And focused on countering "we will all die" perspective. For example they are taking as given that USA shooting down Russian planes over Ukraine is nonstarter because it increases risk of nuclear war,
