Castro warns of climate change

He did not, however, address rumours of his death, which were denied by an official Cuban blogger after they surfaced on Twitter earlier this week. “Many dangers threaten us, but two of them, nuclear war and climate change, are decisive and are drifting further away from a solution,” he wrote in an article entitled “The March Towards the Abyss.”

Since handing over power to his 80-year-old brother Raul in 2006 because of health concerns, the leader of the 1959 revolution has rarely appeared in public but has penned regular editorials on world events.
In his latest article, Fidel blamed the “inexorable” decline in part on “demagogic talk, statements and speeches from the tyranny  imposed on the world by the United States and its powerful and unconditional allies.”
He also wrote about the risk of nuclear war, particularly in the Middle East, where he accused Israel — the region’s sole if undeclared nuclear-armed state— of having “hundreds” of nuclear weapons. — AFP.
