I'm sure it would be really bad for the atmosphere, but better than getting your continent reduced to ash. I've always sort of figured that we had the capability to do what I'm talking about with our existing missiles- it's an obvious idea. We used to have nuclear anti-aircraft missiles for destroying incoming bomber formations too.

eventually, when we all get missile shield it will cancel out ICBMs and we will end up right where we were in 1960...until a new WMD comes out...
..like a high powered laser shot into space which reflected off of a mirror in space and directed back at the enemy to blow up 100 times worse then nukes...
try and stop that...
