Abstract

This paper presents the author’s version of the history of research on the hypothesis of nuclear winter—a catastrophic change in the Earth’s climate in the case of large-scale use of nuclear weapons—and the key role of Academician G.S. Golitsyn in those studies. Special attention is paid to the prehistory of the nuclear winter hypothesis and the scientific breakthrough of the 1980s, when scientists from the Soviet Union, the United States, and other countries tried to comprehend the theoretical possibility of a sharp cooling in most of the Earth’s land as a result of massive fires of nuclear war and to find natural analogues of such a “man-made” climate disaster at many scientific meetings and in many scientific and popular publications.
