The most dangerous place in the world

Therefore, on the one hand, ecology really needs our attention, a different attitude, and a restructuring of the entire society. But, on the other hand, it is important that people do not get hung up on this problem. There are many other problems that also need to be solved. This has long been said , for example, by the Danish economist and ecologist Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus, author of the book “False Alarm: How Panic About Climate Change Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet”: “climate panic is becoming more and more acute. When we panic, we make the wrong decisions. Climate change is a problem, but it is not the end of the world. Eco-anxiety leads to anxious lives and wrong policies; it distracts our attention.”

Indeed, when climate change becomes a very urgent matter, it can exacerbate the personal problems of an individual person, provoke an anxiety disorder in him. And then it will generate excessive anxiety in the medical sense, and not only that - also feelings of guilt, powerlessness and rage. It is important to remember your true values ​​and meanings. And that cults and fears only interfere with real life. Even if they seem justified, they do not create, but take away.For some time, Chernobyl was considered the most dangerous place on Earth. After the disaster, the city's air was filled with radioactive particles, which, when ingested, caused irreversible changes in cells and caused the development of cancer and other diseases. Even two minutes on the roof of the power plant could halve a person's life expectancy. However, there is another place in the world where death from radiation can come even faster.



This place is the area of ​​the so-called Marshall Islands, located in jamaica number data the Pacific Ocean. On their territory, from 1946 to 1960, the American military conducted nuclear weapons tests. In particular, on the islands called Bikini and Eniwetok, about 67 nuclear tests were conducted, leaving behind radioactive particles that killed more than 800 local residents.

The first atomic bomb
The island of Bikini was the most severely damaged. In early July 1946, an atomic bomb similar to the "Fat Man" dropped on the Japanese island of Nagasaki was detonated on its territory. The bomb was dropped on 73 obsolete warships, and after the explosion, many radioactive particles remained in the air, dangerous to the health of local residents.



Despite this, in the 1970s, US authorities assured those locals who had relocated to nearby islands that Bikini was safe for health again and they could return. This turned out to be untrue, as 840 locals later died of radiation-induced cancer. About 7,000 people sought to be recognized as victims of US military testing, but only 1,965 people were recognized as such, half of whom later died of various diseases.
