Cuz number of nuclear weapons does not decline with declining average level of education, health care, political stability, disposable purchasing power.
How many nuclear weapons have actually been detonated worldwide? Horoshima? Nagasaki? Just two? Course not, there have been plenty of tests on top of those. 2 dozen? 50 maybe?
Nope 2,053 actually.
Yet we are all still here. Odd that.
Nuclear armageddon is indeed an existential threat to the human race, not to life in toto. Likely not to the human race either. Genetics demonstrates that we were down to a few paltry thousand survivors worldwide about 75kya. We were pretty darn close to extinction as a species.
