We just need some fools who can get their hands on a rather big atomic bomb.

Yes, yes it could. It would only kill everyone within the dead zone instantly, the burn zone after a few hours, and, if it was powerful enough, would cause natural disasters all over i.e Tsunami's, earthquakes/volcanic eruption.
So eventually, the effects of the thermonuclear explosion could kill everyone.

Firstly, depeletion of the Ozone layer is a separate issue to global warming. Whilst some gases can contribute to both effects, they are essentially different concerns. Depletion of the ozone layer will result in greater exposure to UV radiation from the sun, whereas global warming is the effect from 'greenhouse' gases reducing the amount of energy leaving the atmosphere.
It's true there is no proven link between increases amounts of greenhouse gases and global warming, but the vast majority oif scientists think there is. It's better to prepare for the worst than assume it won't happen, in any case.

True. But these cycles don't happen for no reason. The last ice age was triggered (so far as we know) by a large meteor hitting the Earth, causing clouds of dust sufficient to almost completely block out the sun.
The next great heat wave might well be caused by global warming. There's no particular reason to believe it'll start getting cooler again without some similar significant event occuring again.
Venus is still waiting for it's next ice age.

Don't make a difference to what though? They make an awful lot of difference if it happens to be impossible for humans to live here in those few thousand years, wouldn't you say?
