Cuba's iconic revolutionary Fidel Castro warned that the world was on an "inexorable" march into the abyss this year because of climate change and the threat of nuclear war.
In an article published Thursday -- Castro's first since November 2011 -- the 85-year-old retired leader also took aim at the United States and at gas shale "fracking," a new source of fossil fuels condemned by environmentalists.
He did not, however, address rumors of his death, which were denied by an official Cuban blogger after they surfaced on Twitter earlier this week.
"Many dangers threaten us, but two of them, nuclear war and climate change, are decisive and are drifting further away from a solution," he wrote in an article entitled "The March Towards the Abyss."
Since handing over power to his 80-year-old brother Raul in 2006 because of health concerns, the leader of the 1959 revolution has rarely appeared in public but has penned regular editorials on world events.
In his latest article, Fidel blamed the "inexorable" decline in part on "demagogic talk, statements and speeches from the tyranny imposed on the world by the United States and its powerful and unconditional allies."
He also wrote about the risk of nuclear war, particularly in the Middle East, where he accused Israel -- the region's sole if undeclared nuclear-armed state -- of having "hundreds" of nuclear weapons.

I agree that within a few years, the weather for Castro will be much, much, much hotter.
Castro knows as much about Fracking as....Zero does. They’re both Fracking idiots.
Exactly.
To bad for them {dems} he isn’t a little younger.
He would make the perfect candidate to replace Obama.
Obama could give the same speech and no one would blink.
"Abbppbbt...harruubpt... BLUE MEANIES!!!"
He’s cuckoo for Castro Puffs!
Jimmy Carter already did. Thus proving that Barack Obama was a clone of Jimmy Carter’s seed, baked in the Gitmo sun.
When Ron Paul loses the GOP nomination, I fully expect him to register as a candidate in the next Cuban election. He can’t wait another 4 years.
Another example of the watermelon. Under the green, you will find the red. Ecotopians want an all powerful government to force strict ecology upon the masses. Any bets as to who would be the 1% then?

Yeah. The climate is going to change for him in the very near future...it is going to get damned hot.
Hokey Smokes this commie-ass Methuselah is STILL ALIVE?! When is the Good Lord going to be sending him to Hell?
The voice of reason has spoken.
