Nuclear winter is mostly a myth, so no. However, if you wanted to create global cooling, you'd want to emulate mega-eruptions, that spewed dust and particulate into the atmosphere, leading to heavily decreased temperatures. So, if you want to "solve" the global warming "problem," you'd want to rev up the dirtiest, most polluting coal plants and other such things, and set them loose on the environment.
Personally, I like the global warming cycle occurring right now. Not looking forward to the imminent cooling cycle.

Yeah I'm betting that would solve are problems with this stupid Global Warming. But at the same time it would probably shoot us into another Ice Age. To the point where everybody would be thinking "I wish we were still in Global Warming"
So going that extreme would not be a good thing but a really bad thing to the point where I would rather have the temperature go up a degree every 100 years then in a nuclear winter where the summer highs still wouldn't be above zero. But hey I guess some people like the cold :)

Crabby Blindguy makes a very good point there - no people, no problem.
Assuming that we did all manage to survive the nuclear exchange buried in our bunkers and emerge to a nuclear winter it wouldn't be long before the 'winter' passed and global warming was back with us.
The particulate matter that would be contained within our atmosphere following a nuclear war would dissipate after a couple of years whereas the particulate matter that causes global warming (the greenhouse gases) are resident in the atmosphere for much longer periods of time - 115 years in the case of carbon dioxide, less for methane and nitrous oxide, more for the CFC's and related gases.
We could solve the problem of global warming by making nuclear war an annual event, that should do the trick.

Certainly. By wiping out most or all of the human race and its technology, a nuclear winter would thereby remove the cause of global warming.

yes in the sense thats its no longer a problem since mankind is not around to worry about it anymore

No, not at all! Cold weather isnt going to eliminate carbon emissions

How can anyone give you a decent reply.Two wrongs does not make anything right.

Temporarily, but the cure would be worse than the disease.
