Castro discusses “Nuclear Winter”










HAVANA – Fidel Castro has participated in a scientific conference with a U.S. researcher, discussing the threat of a "nuclear winter." Alan Robock, a professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at Rutgers University, spoke with Castro during a Tuesday meeting in Havana. The pair talked about the catastrophic effects on global climate change that could be unleashed by nuclear war, state media said. Castro has spent months warning of a nuclear war pitting the U.S. and Israel against Iran and could also involve an attack on North Korea. He said fighting should have begun in July but has since said he may have been premature. Source: Yahoo News
