Fidel Castro Warns Of
Dangers Threatening Humanity
HAVANA - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro
warned of many dangers currently threatening
the planet and the humanity such as mass
destructive weapons and climate change.
"For the first time, the human species, in a
globalized world full of contradictions,
have created the ability to destroy
themselves," Castro said in an article
released on Monday.
The leader mentioned the "weapons of
unprecedented cruelty, such as
bacteriological and chemical weapons, napalm
and white phosphorus, which are used against
civilians and enjoy total impunity."
He said that no place in the depths of the
earth or in the seas could get outside the
scope of the current means of war.
"The greatest danger comes from the decision
of leaders with such powers and their
decisions, and the mistakes and madness, so
common in human nature, can lead to
incredible disasters," he said.
He added that even the mankind could get rid
of those risks, "there is still a greater,
or at least more inevitable (risk): climate
change."
"It is absolutely unthinkable that 9 billion
human beings who live in the world in 2050
could survive such a catastrophe," he said.
