No, not at all. I'm thinking we may see some crude nuclear weapons detonated by terrorist organisations sometime in the near future, but not a holocaust. A holocaust would require one or two or more countries that have significant nuclear resources to have an all-out go at each other. While that is possible, sure, I certainly don't see it as inevitable...

No, I'm more concerned with biologic/viral holocaust

No, I don't think it is inevitable, but sadly it is an possibility. While we have people who argue that "nukes saves lives" there is the likelihood that they will be used again under the same spurious reasoning. With the war-mongering leaders in charge in America, the UK, Russua and Israel - all nuclear armed - a nuclear holocaust is all too possible. *BAN THE BOMB*

No, but a limited exchange probably is.

n o, but some sort of nuclear limited detonation is inevitable

"While we have people who argue that "nukes saves lives" there is the likelihood that they will be used again under the same spurious reasoning." it is true that they save lives and prevent wars - there cannot be a true 'world war' anymore as if there was it would spell the end of civilization as we know it through a mass chain reaction of retaliation. i do agree, though, that i wish no weapon of this sort was possible to create- ever. it's simply too powerful, too destructive. With a couple billion dollars of the necessary materials one could destroy the world.....

Some A hole will get an A bomb and set it off somewhere. Hopefully the other country doesn't strike back with more. As it stands now we can destroy any country's infrastructure without the use of any atomic weapons. So can Russia and China, they proved that by attacking us(China) through the internet and Russia did it to their most resent little war. Add that with pinpoint targeting of major forms of infrastructure and you are back in the stone age. No need for atomic weapons. But some small country will some how lose one or use one for whatever reason. I think that's inevitable by chance as the amount of countries that have them grow, namely an unstable one like Pakistan.
