Fidel Castro warns of aftermath of climate change
Fidel Castro
"Science created the ability to destroy ourselves and the planet several times in a matter of hours " said Castro in an editorial published by local media. "The greatest contradiction in our age is the ability of our species to destroy itself and its inability to govern itself at the same time."
 In the editorial entitled "The madness of our time." Castro listed the catastrophic effects of global warming and pointed to threats posed by new weapons and military technologies of the United States.
 He criticized the United States for developing new high-tech military devices such as the recent launch of an unmanned "space plane" by U.S.air force from Cape Canaveral.
 These moves "reveal the true philosophy of the United States " said Castro. He also described the role of U.S. President Barack Obama at the Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen as "disappointing" and a "painful deception" to the public.
