I doubt that. Remember, we are not warlike just by chance. We are warlike because during history, the more warlike civilizations wiped out the more peaceful ones … over and over. It’s just evolution.
Remember all the talk about sustainability? Any civilization based on sustainability won’t get far enough to actually need it. Majority of progress is caused by not really having any other option.
Bullshit. There must be lot of civilizations who blow themselves up with nuclear weapons instead. We almost did in October 1962.
Even a limited nuclear exchange would cause ruinous (aka lethal) changes to the climate.
Nuclear fire would produce catastrophic climate change.
On top of the physical and radiation damage from the actual weapon strikes.
or perhaps the Doctor’s statement should have ended with “if they survive long enough.”
Getting mass number of nukes before having mass industrialization long enough to cause climate crisis might not be as common.
Plus, not every species needs to be warlike like ours.
