Unfortunately it is not. Even eruption of Yellowstone may cause it. The global nuclear war will launch massive firestorms all over the globe. Some may say that it's impossible in the big cities because the modern buildings won't burn. As far as I remember 9/11 has showed that they burn and burn very intensive. Not mention the forests that will be affected too. Lots of Russian launch sites are located in
Siberian taiga. Course they will be nuked and there will be forest firestorms the human civilization has never seen. The same will happen in America (especially in Canada).
Did you see my calculations above? A single 20 Mt explosion will burn out up to 4486 square km
directly. The further possible spreading of fire is not even counted... Guys you start panic because of some really small fires in the LA area almost every year. Now imagine it all over the globe involving super huge snowforests and Amazonian area.
