Stop+Testing+Missiles+On+The+Environment!

By Jayse and Max

Missile testing is a big problem in the world. Were'e not blaming anyone but North Korea has been testing missiles very often for the past while. Just recently North Korea tested three missiles and they shot them off the coast of Japan killing sea animals and a couple of land animals. Kim Jong Un is currently making nuclear missiles which could not only destroy the place that it lands at but it could be even more devastating because nuclear missiles also emit radiation which will kill the animals not in the blast radius and it will also kill the animals when they come close to the blast range after the nuclear missile has been shot. An interesting fact is Russia nearly started a nuclear war with America in the cold war. They both had nuclear missiles and the people could evacuate but the environment or the animals would be forced to stay back and die. media type="youtube" key="b4tPuCb9-fs" width="435" height="250" align="center" Let's do some simple maths. Countries on edge of war + people getting scared and building more missiles = more missile testing on the environment. Between 2009 and 2010 military construction increased by 19.0%! Korea carry on b lasting missiles everywhere and it hasn't only been in the past few months that Korea has been testing missiles but actually a few years. North Korea worry many countries because they have been testing missiles everywhere. Some of them include:


 * August. 31, 1998: North Korea fired suspected missile over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean, calling it a satellite.
 * September. 13, 1999: North Korea pledged to freeze long-range missile tests.
 *  March 10, 2003: North Korea fired land-to-ship missile off east coast into waters between Korean Peninsula and Japan.
 *  October 2003: North Korea fires two land-to-ship missiles.
 * May 2005: North Korea fires short-range missile into waters between Korean Peninsula and Japan.

Every time North Korea has tested a missile they have improved the missiles. In the beginning it was just a missile and nothing else but now there are nuclear missiles which can take out buildings and many people. North Korea are also making missiles that can go faster and stronger. This means that wherever the missile lands it will do much more damage.

It isn't only North Korea that test missiles but below is a video of a Norwegian navy being blown up.

Also in this video you can see all of the carnage of the ship entering the sea. Once it enters the sea it can kill so many sea animals and it can also destroy the environment. People also test missiles on land and that can destroy the ground and again a lot of animals that could live there will die. This happens everywhere and it must be stopped before it destroys the ecosystems.
