Sep 7, 2016 at 19:25 comment added user25818 I find it unlikely that the US, Russia and China don't have serious nuclear winter plans. They may include things like "all civilians freeze" but I'd bet they exist, and probably would not fail day one.
Sep 7, 2016 at 17:05 comment added Cort Ammon @Sky I intended to use "agility," though AnoE is correct that both work. A sudden change like this would destroy any government which tries to hunker down and use their old ways of thinking to solve the problem, so the only solution that has a chance to work is to be agile, moving forward to new approaches. I wanted to draw attention to the fact that it's the ability to adapt that is going to matter here, not the ability to bear down and control things.

Sep 7, 2016 at 13:43 comment added AnoE I didn't write it but would suggest "both".
Sep 7, 2016 at 12:25 comment added Skye Did you mean no government has the agility to handle this or no government has the ability to handle this?
