An all-out thermo-nuclear war would almost definitely harm the environment.
I do believe however that a well-placed warhead could actually serve to benefit society as a whole. For example, a strategically placed thermal warhead in lets say, oh I don't know, a large collection of Oakland Raider fans would lower the crime and illiteracy rate, free up millions of dollars now allocated to welfare and it would also serve to get rid of that odd stench that comes with the occasional western wind.
However, this action in no way would effect the annual bars of soap consumed by US residents, technology stocks, mensa meeting attendance or future doctor or scientist turnout.
Other less consequencetal effects: WWF ratings plunge, malt liquor and MD 20/20 sales would plummet, shortage of McDonald employees, ranting lunatics on street corners suddenly disapear and property value expected to soar in Oakland area after half-life of U238 is reached.
