Is it true that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima caused a nuclear winter?
No. The retrieved sources describe the Hiroshima bombing's blast, fire, radiation and human toll, and one reference work indicates nuclear winter requires a full-scale exchange of thousands of weapons rather than a single bomb. Nothing in the evidence supports the idea that the Hiroshima bombing alone caused a nuclear winter.
