Event Description
The Humanist Society of Santa Barbara presents "Nuclear Weapons & The Human Future", a presentation by Dr. David Krieger of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
Among the topics Dr. Krieger will discuss and about which he will answer questions:
- 26,000 nuclear warheads are still maintained in the world, some on "hair-trigger alert", in violation of non-proliferation treaties.
- The ongoing costs to societies of nuclear weapons in terms of healthcare not provided, students not educated and infrastructure decaying, because tax dollars are being spent on bombs instead of human needs.
- Why existing arsenals provoke other nations into developing their own nuclear weapons programs, as a defence against belligerent administrations (not just the US).
$5 general, $2 student donation requested.
