Los líderes de la fe y de la ciencia están de acuerdo: reducir la amenaza de una catástrofe nuclear ahora mismo

The document argues that nuclear weapons remain an urgent threat to humanity and the planet, potentially causing millions of deaths and global economic collapse. It calls for the cancellation of a proposed $1 trillion spending plan for new nuclear capabilities, a one-third reduction in the U.S. deployed strategic arsenal, and the removal of land-based missiles from instant-alert status to prevent accidental launches.

• The authors oppose the U.S. government's proposal to spend over $1 trillion on a new generation of nuclear warheads, missiles, bombers, and submarines, arguing that such spending is inconsistent with the goal of a nuclear-free world and could trigger a dangerous arms race.
• To progress toward multilateral elimination, the document recommends that President Obama reduce the U.S. deployed strategic arsenal by one-third—a level the Pentagon considers adequate for security—and encourage Russia to do the same.
• The practice of keeping hundreds of nuclear weapons on alert for launch within minutes creates an unacceptably high risk of accidental or unauthorized launches due to human or technical error.
• The authors call for the removal of U.S. land-based nuclear missiles from instant-alert status and the elimination of 'launch-on-warning' options from U.S. war plans, urging Russia to reciprocate.
