Which one of the following is not recognized as existential threats to mankind :

  • A.WMD
  • B.NMD
  • C.Climate change
  • D.International Terrorism

Answer: B

National missile defence (NMD) is not recognised as an existential threat to mankind: it is a defensive system intended to intercept missiles, and although it is debated as a factor in the arms race, it is a means and not a threat to survival. Weapons of mass destruction, climate change and international terrorism are the kind of danger that can threaten human survival or security on a wide scale, so they are called existential threats.
