A World Safe From Firestorms is a World Safe from Nuclear Winter
The key takehome is that a firestorm is generally impossible using nuclear weapons to ignite fuel. There is no longer enough fuel and short of bringling vast amounts of incendaries as in WW II, it cannot happen. Thus the MEME of nuclear winter is a non starter. Radiation fallout remains a problem, yet even there we have transition to much cleaner bombs. After all we do want to occupy the tragets at some point.
