Nuclear winter in the wake of the Eugenics Wars. Cooled us right down. Even in Star Trek, our immediate future is... bleak.
Yes. Nuclear winter trades global warming for a tuckfun of even bigger problems.
Volcanic winter is such a pain in the butt, I call shenanigans on the many-years winters allegedly in Westros, which would force them to migrate (or have decades of grain stores, which they totally don't). With modern freight, volcanic winter is less of a problem for industrialized nations, but we still feel it.
