Nuclearwar! Yes I know I've been going on about it recently. But, this is a real risk that I've been thinking about. So, I've crunch the data in this data visualisation.
What's interesting is that both Russia (former USSR) and the US have massively reduced their nuclear weapons stockpiles over the last three decades. What more worrying though is that there are more countries armed with neuclear weapons than ever before - including North Korea.
P.S. Did you know South Africa once had nuclear weapons?
