While the world is trying to prevent Iran from developing a single nuclear weapon, it fails to give proper attention, needed to eliminate the 17,000 existing nuclear weapons.

Yes, today there are more than 17,000 nuclear warheads.

There's an interesting table I'd like to share to give you guys a basic idea about the nuclear weapon distribution across the world –

Now, a nuclear war which is small and limited, say between South Asian countries India and Pakistan would put more than 2 billion people?s lives at risk. The local effects would be devastating. More than 20 million people would be dead in a week from the explosions, firestorms and immediate radiation effects. But the global consequences would be far worse.

The firestorms caused by this war would loft 5 million tons of soot high into the atmosphere, blocking out sunlight and dropping temperatures across the planet. This climate disruption would cause a sharp, worldwide decline in food production. There would be a 12% decline in U.S. corn production and a 15% decline in Chinese rice production, both lasting for a full decade. A staggering 31% decline in Chinese winter wheat production would also last for 10 years. The resulting global famine would put at risk 870 million people in the developing world who are already malnourished today, and 300 million people living in countries dependent on food imports. In addition, the huge shortfalls in Chinese food production would threaten another 1.3 billion people within China. At the very least there would be a decade of social and economic chaos in the largest country in the world, home to the world's second largest and most dynamic economy and a large nuclear arsenal of its own.

So I say, join Global Zero and fight to eliminate the nukes.
