"Cubans make the connection to global warming
Global warming causes increased oceanic temperatures, which increases the intensity of tropical storms. Other current effects are changes in rainfall, causing drought in some areas. Cuba has been concerned about global warming for many years: in 1992 Fidel Castro warned at the UN Conference on the Environment and Development that “An important biological species is at risk of disappearing due to the rapid and progressive elimination of its natural habitat: man. … If we want to save humanity from that self-destruction, there must be a better distribution of the available wealth and technologies on the plantet. There must be less luxury and less squandering in a few countries so that there will be less impoverishment and less famine in a large portion of the Earth.” On Sept. 24, 2007, Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque commented that in the 15 years since that conference almost nothing was done (

Practical observation is overwhelming. These could only be called into question by irresponsible people. The last ten years have been the warmest. There is a decrease in the thickness of artic ice. Glaciers are receding. Sea level is on the rise. Also increasing is the frequency and intensity of hurricanes.
“The future looks worse: some 30% of all species will disappear if global temperature increases by 1.5 to 2.5 degrees centigrade. Small island states are running the risk of disappearing under the waters.”
According to economist Minqi Li, the world may be already committed to a 2[ch730]C warming relative to pre-industrial times, which is widely considered to be a critical threshold in climate change. (
