February 12, 2008 (LPAC)--The British-promoted genocide scheme known as global warming is taking a human toll in Tajikistan, the former Soviet republic which borders China and eastern Afghanistan.

The harshest winter in three decades has put the country on the verge of a humanitarian disaster, according to Michael Jones, the UN resident coordinator for the country. A majority of the population of 7 million is having trouble buying food and other necessities.

"It is a compound emergency; it is multifaceted," Jones told the UN publication IRIN yesterday. For most of January temperatures in the capital, Dushanbe, have averaged 5 degrees (Fahrenheit) during the day and dropped to as low as minus 13 at night, according to UN sources.

Power shortages, reducing electricity supply to 2 hours a day, are expected for at least 25 days. Hydroelectric generation accounts for 76 percent of the country's energy output, but the prolonged cold has frozen inlet streams going into the reservoirs which drive the generators, according to UN sources.

Hospitals are experiencing sub-freezing temperatures, with vulnerable premature babies requiring incubators most at risk, officials and experts said. In terms of heating, urban areas dependent on electricity and natural gas, are most at risk. The total number of vulnerable people -- defined as children in orphanages, premature babies in maternity hospitals, patients in hospitals and people who cannot afford more than one meal a day -- is about 500,000, according to Jones.

Think of the trillions of dollars spent promoting the global warming hoax, and the millions of man hours of scientific capability diverted into it. Tajikistan needs nuclear power and the economic development which the Eurasian landbridge can bring. Consider that the next time you give credence to Al Gore's ranting.
