I am ashamed to be ignorant of the subject, had not even heard of. Otherwise, he would have understood long before the risk of nuclear war were much more serious than I imagined. Assumed that the planet could withstand the explosion of hundreds of nuclear bombs to calculate that, in both the U.S. and the USSR had done countless tests over the years. Did not take into account a very simple reality: not the same pop 500 1 000 nuclear bombs in days, popping them in one day.
I met when I requested information from various experts in the field. Presumably, I was amazed when I met did not need a nuclear world war to perish our species.
a contest would be enough between two nuclear-nuclear powers of the weakest, such as India and Pakistan, which together, however, bring together well over 100 such weapons, "and the human species would disappear.
will reason a little with the evidence provided to me our experts, drawn from what has been exposed by the top scientists in the world.
There are things that Obama knows full well:
"... a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union would produce a 'nuclear winter'. "
" The international debate about that prediction, encouraged by the astronomer Carl Sagan, forced the leaders of both superpowers to confront the possibility that the arms race does not only endanger them, but also to humanity. "
" ... 'models developed by Russian and American scientists showed that a nuclear war would result in a nuclear winter extremely destructive to all life on earth, knowing that represented for us, people of morality and honor, a great encouragement ... '. "
" nuclear war zone ... could trigger a similar global catastrophe. Further analysis revealed that a conflict between India and Pakistan in which 100 bombs were dropped on cities and industrial areas, only 0.4 percent of more than 25 000 warheads in the world, would generate enough smoke to blast of world agriculture. A regional war could cause loss of life even in countries far from the conflict. "
" With modern computer climate models and innovative, our team has shown that not only were correct ideas of the eighties, but the effects last at least 10 years, much longer than previously thought [...] smoke even a regional war would receive heat from the sun and would amount to remain suspended for years in the upper atmosphere, watching the sunlight and cooling the Earth. "
" India and Pakistan, which together raise more than 100 nuclear warheads ... "
" Some believe that the theory of nuclear winter has developed in the eighties fallen into disrepute. So you might be surprised with our assertion that a nuclear war zone between India and Pakistan, for example, could devastate agriculture worldwide.
"The original theory was rigorously validated. Its scientific basis was supported by research conducted by the National Academy of Sciences study sponsored by by the U.S. Armed Forces and the International Council of Scientific Unions, including representatives of 24 national science academies and other scientific bodies. "
" cooling may not seem a matter of particular concern. But you should know that a slight decrease in temperature can have serious consequences. "
" The total amount of grain stored in the world today could feed the world for a couple of months (see 'Food Crisis: A Threat to civilization? "by Lester R. Brown, RESEARCH AND SCIENCE, July 2009)."
"Sometimes, smoke from large forest fires enters the troposphere and lower stratosphere and is carried over long distances, resulting in cooling. Our models also fit this purpose. "
" 65 million years ago, an asteroid struck the Yucatan Peninsula. The resulting cloud of dust mixed with smoke from the fire, hid the sun, killing the dinosaurs. Massive volcanism, which in turn was given in India, may have exacerbated the effects. "
" ... the growing number of nuclear weapon states raises the probability that a war is started deliberately or accidentally.
"Korea North has threatened war if it is allowed to stop and inspect ships in search of nuclear materials. "
" Some Indian leaders attack extremists advocated nuclear-armed Pakistan following the recent terrorist attacks on India. "
" Iran has threatened to destroy Israel, and nuclear power, which in turn has vowed never to allow that Iran becoming a nuclear power. "
" The first two nuclear bombs shook the world so much that despite the massive growth since then of these weapons, they have never used again. "
A nuclear war is inevitable from the moment that the deadline the Security Council of the UN, anything can happen when the first Iranian ship is inspected.
"Under the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty, U.S. and Russia agreed to stop its arsenal in 1 700 and 2 200 deployed strategic nuclear warheads by the end of 2012. "
" If these weapons were used against urban targets, kill hundreds of millions of people and a huge cloud of smoke of 180 Tg flood the planet's atmosphere. "
" The only way to eliminate the possibility of a climate catastrophe is to eliminate nuclear weapons. "
Imet today at noon with four Cuban specialists: Tomás Gutiérrez Pérez, José Núñez Fidel Santana, Colonel José Luis Navarro Marrero, Chief, Department of Science and Technology MINFAR and Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, with whom I discussed the topic treatment this reflection.
requested the meeting yesterday, 22 August. Do not want to lose a minute. Was certainly successful.
