    The document argues that the use of nuclear weapons is never justified due to their long-lasting and irreparable effects on plants, humans, animals and the environment. Nuclear weapons pose risks such as climate disruption, nuclear winter, global starvation and warming. The bombing of Hiroshima demonstrated these impacts, destroying the city and killing over 120,000 people from the explosion and later from radiation and burns. Albert Einstein recognized that future weapons could reset civilization. The document concludes that countries should stop developing nuclear arms and instead focus on less destructive weapons.

    Is the use of nuclear weapons ever justified?

    Personally, I believe that the use of nuclear weapons is never justified


    due to its various long-causing irreparable side-effects that it has on
    plants, humans, animals, and many more. When using nuclear
    weapons, there are huge risks of climate disruption with devastating
    consequences, the world could fall under a nuclear winter, it could be
    subject to deadly global starvation as a result of loss in agriculture, it
    could have terrible effects of global warming and many more. For
    example, since the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for
    many years, trees, grass, and flowers were not able to grow in
    Hiroshima. This was because of the bomb’s radiation effects. The bomb,
    which had an explosion equal to about 12.5 kilotons of TNT, destroyed
    five square miles of the city's center and resulted in the deaths of an
    estimated 120,000 people right after the explosion. Many people were
    instantly killed by the explosion, while others later died from radiation
    and burns. That was all from 1 nuclear bomb. Many innocent people
    died, vegetation was severely impacted and the whole city was basically
    leveled. This perfectly demonstrates the negative effects of nuclear
    weapons. As Albert Einstein once said, "I know not with what weapons
    World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with
    sticks and stones.” Here he recognizes how the weapons used in World
    War III will be so powerful that it will reset the world as a whole. I
    believe that the United States, Russia, North Korea and all the other
    countries developing nuclear weapons should stop and instead put their
    time and money into other weapons that won't have the same negative
    impacts on the world and won't ruin millions of people’s lives.
