The bomb

The Bombs
Autors note: this is a persuasive essay on why we sould not have bombed Japan.

The world never excepted the power of the atomic bombs and that power changed the way we think. When the Atomic bombs Fat Man and Little Boy were dropped they set the gears in motion for nuclear caused global warming.

            The bombs were dropped to end the World War quickly but anything done quickly is not always finished. The emendate problem was what the bomb did to the people. The initial explosion blew down brick buildings set millions of homes on fire and melted people.  There was a man who was walking home from work and his shadow was permanently burned on to wall of the building he was by and is still there today. After the explosion those who survived died slowly from radiation sickness. There is still radiation on sites today. All that could have happened to America if the wrong countries found the way and materials to make a nuke.

            The bombs being dropped started the nuclear age where now we are carful who gets nuclear technology.  But one the countries we did not want to have nukes was the U.S.S.R.  After Fat Man and Little Boy were dropped they watched the exploitation and want one for their own. So they bribed one of the guards protecting the plans and stole them and gave to the Russians. After that we were in constant fear that they might nuke us until the 90’s when they fell apart. But even now we still fear that one nuke will find its way to an unstable government. Those chances are very high because there are 36 nukes in the world. That’s enough to blow up Earth 1.5 times and with all the radiation in the atmosphere and the soil it will kill all life on Earth.

             There has all ready bean more than five nukes tested in the deserts and on lakes. They were huge contributors to global warming and caused more than 50% of global warming. We wouldn’t have to change anything about the way we use gases if we would not have polluted with our nuclear testing.  But they weren’t the only factors long lasting radiation and melt downs also helped. There was a Russian town Chernoble were nuclear power plant melted down and melted through all its containment and leaked a lot of radiation in to the atmosphere. Now if there was even a small scale nuclear war say for example Luxemburg and Israel. There would be lasting effects on our climate for more than a decade.

            After the end of WWII we made our own nuclear crises.  The bomb would be better if they were a government secret. So we would not have to fear our last days are a race.
