This video comes from Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto. It is a time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions that have taken place between 1945 and 1998.
This should serve as a reminder that nonproliferation and disarmament of nuclear weapons is an important issue and just why the new START talks are so important.
Secretaries Clinton and Gates have urged the Senate to ratify the new START treaty and I sure hope they do. There could be major foreign policy consequences if they don't. Keep in mind that nonproliferation and disarmament should not by any means be a Democrat vs. Republican issue; arms-control is in the interest of everybody.

Also, this chart really worries me.
