Paul Ingram: The Nuclear War Threat

The risk of global nuclear conflict has increased significantly within
recent months, experts have told The i Paper, with regional conflicts
threatening to escalate to a point they become existential worldwide.
“The risk of nuclear conflict is massively higher than should be
tolerable,” Paul Ingram, research affiliate for the Centre of Existential
Risk at the University of Cambridge, said. “The threat has increased
significantly in the last few years – and probably in the last couple of
months.” Professor Andy Stirling, who focuses on nuclear policy at the
University of Sussex, said there was “a big mismatch between the
perceived threat and the actual threat” of nuclear conflict, which was
now much greater than most people realise. “We have been living under an
absolutely massive nuclear threat for decades and, at some point, our luck
is going to run out,” Stirling said.
