EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

Among the great risks for the earth, we can cite three different types: global warming, conflicts that can degenerate into uncontrolled nuclear confrontations, and near-Earth objects that can cause considerable damage to the planet.

We rule out this third type of risk from the outset because programs for detecting, tracking and possibly destroying NEOs that come dangerously close to Earth are already tested and ready to be used in the event of imminent danger.

Global warming is a risk to be taken seriously. It is mainly due to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Analyzes and forecasts show that the commitments to reduce the global temperature to 1° have not yet been kept and we are moving towards a point of no return and non-irreversibility of the phenomenon of destruction of the ozone layer and global warming.

The only conflicts that can generate a nuclear confrontation are those that bring together two major nuclear powers: USA-Soviet Union, USA-China, in particular. Other conflicts between intermediate powers should not lead to nuclear confrontations.

This article analyzes the consequences of global warming, the major conflicts between the nuclear superpowers and very briefly reviews the secondary conflicts.

It will highlight the difference between the superpowers and the other Nations, the poor of the planet, the forgotten and the left behind.
