It would be a gradual decline. However I do not see this happening anytime soon. We are entering into an age of abundance. If we play our cards right we may finally see a world with less war and less turmoil. Technology will greatly enhance the lives of everyone thus making the world less volatile. Once clean and free energy is discovered and made available to everyone it will usher in a new age for mankind.
On a grim note I think we are crossing the red line of whether we'll survive as a species or wipe ourselves out. A Nuclear fallout is very realistic but unlikely as long as cooler heads prevail. We must sternly reject war mongers.
