Really? You don't think that the nuclear arsenal in place around the world has the capacity to cause massive life loss on this planet? It's only a matter of time until the "bad guys" (whoever you choose to crown as such) escalate things up to bio/chem weaponry. Bio weapons are actually scarier than nukes.
Don't say it won't happen. We have a proven capacity to cause untold death and destruction. The world wars and various genocides are proof enough.
- ars 14y agoCompare: "destroy all life on this planet many times over" vs. "cause massive life loss on this planet" Not exactly the same thing, yet you said both. Which is it? > It's only a matter of time i.e. doesn't exist right now. So you agree with me. > Bio weapons are actually scarier than nukes. I agree. > We have a proven capacity to cause untold death and destruction. The world wars and various genocides are proof enough. In the entire history of the world the death rate from wars has NEVER been lower than it is right now. Lookup total war to see how bad it was. Compare the death rates (as a ratio of soldiers involved. Include civilians if you wish) in Iraq vs. Vietnam or WW2.
