(The study authors assume that climate changes caused by nuclear weapon use would probably not be apocalyptic to life, but would devastate agriculture on a short-term scale. Hence the "store lots of food" recommendations.)

Civil Defense recommendations for dealing with nuclear winter scenarios, from 1987. Practicality of all of this aside, I really love that one of the policy recommendation is to remind people to take their jackets when they go out, because they might get cold. Thanks, mom.pic.twitter.com/QLp2dyoQD3

Are there (public) studies on likely severity of nuclear winter based on the particular war scenario? Ie, a 100 warhead event, 500, 3000, etc?

There are lots of public studies and public models, but which model you prefer or think is most accurate is always contentious. Robock's work is a good place to start for public, peer-reviewed approaches: http://climate.envsci.rutgers.edu/robock/robock_nwpapers.html …

I get that point of view, but having dealt with people in disaster, it's amazing how laser-focused they become on the now, to the point of not being able to plan ahead, at all.
