Cold crisis in Tajikistan

Robin Lustig | 09:37 UK time, Tuesday, 12 February 2008

I know, I know ... you'd have difficulty finding it on a map. (Look for the space between China and Uzbekistan, up a bit from Afghanistan.)

But more than 7 million people live there, and they're in serious trouble. Read from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s redoubtable central Asia correspondent Natalia Antelava.

    They had best call Algore. Maybe he will lend them some of the millions he has made with his global warming propaganda!

    To Larry Weber:


    Fyi, global warming actually causes global *climate change*, which does not translate to universally warmer weather. Although average temperatures are going up overall, the effect of this is local: - hotter, drier weather in some places, but colder winters in others. More hurricanes somewhere, drought elsewhere. Basically more unpredictable variations than hitherto.
