Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a full-scale nuclear war would cause a global nuclear winter?

Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that a full-scale nuclear war would inject soot into the atmosphere and cool global temperatures for years, with climate models projecting drops of several degrees. A dictionary entry defines nuclear winter as exactly this predicted global cooling from nuclear war.
