I disagree.
We have tested a hugh number of nukes, some have been huge, with out screwing up the entire planet. People still live on or near the Japenese nuke sites, Chernobyl is now a natural wonderland for all creatures apart from humans (of which some do live there illegally and are not dying instantly)
By product = less people is good. The real outcome needs to be what ever it takes to stop 1.5 (is that right?) billion chinese getting to the point where they buy a new car every three years. A well placed limited nuke strike should damage their economy enough to do that. I am not talking blanket coverage in nukes here.
No one has a plan for that, unless we do we might as well stop putting up windmills.
