Fidel Castro writes column expressing concern for global warming and nuclear war


President Obama is most pleased. In other news, Fidel Castro is still alive.
(Miami Herald)- Putting to rest rumors that he had died, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro has published his first column in nearly two months — a 3,121-word exposition on nuclear war, climate change and other threats to the survival of the human species.

The column, titled “The march toward the abyss,” dated Jan. 4 and published Thursday in virtually all Cuban government news outlets, was Castro’s first since Nov. 13 and came at the end of a week that saw rumors of his death spread, particularly on Twitter.

No up-to-date photos of the 85-year-old Castro, who passed on power to his brother Raúl after undergoing emergency surgery in 2006, were published along with the lengthy column. A Cuban television newsman needed nearly 30 minutes to read it on air, Havana residents said.

The column hammered on one of the retired Castro’s favorite topics, arguing that the dangers of nuclear war and climate change “are decisive, and both are each day further from a solution.”

“What I am trying to do is to put myself at a point within our species so I can speak about the march toward the abyss. I could even speak of an ‘inexorable’ march, and I would surely be closer to reality,” the former Cuban leader wrote.

Proof positive that climate alarmism is a commie scare-tactic from the pit of HELL. Fie-Dell is making Santorum look like a GENIUS.
