That whole section is full of
WP:FRINGE claims. "Together with climate scientists"? He disgreed with practically every climate scientist in existence. The section needs to be severely shrunk, if not deleted completely. --

Nuclear war
"especially in the face of political and social pressures such as the desire to avert nuclear war" That sounds as if he thought that we should not care about averting nuclear war.
"To the extent that we think egotistically and irrationally and paranoically and foolishly, then we have technology that will give us nuclear winters or cars that won't brake. But that's because people didn't design them right." This sounds as if he thought we should modify nuclear weapons so they do not cause nuclear winter.
That sounds pretty crazy, and it should either be deleted or clarified. --

It says it did not occur as planned in 1979. At the end of the next section it talks about The 13th Warrior in 1999. –
