prospects of survival for todays society

[bigpaul]

If there is a third World War (not sure whether I should have said "If" or "When") The population will reduce quite dramatically.

that really depends on if it is a conventional war or a nuclear war, in a conventional war you can loose millions of people but we would have to loose many millions for it to have a real impact, in a nuclear war we could ALL be wiped out like the dinosaurs!!
