According to these figures, Afghanistan had a population of 20 million up to 1992. The reasons for this mortality have been military assaults, famine or lack of medical attention. In other words, every year 125,000 or about 340 people a day or 14 people every hour or 1 in about every 5 minutes have either been killed or died because of this tragedy.
Yet nobody speaks of the tragic death of an Afghan every five minutes for the past 20 years. So we have 20 million hungry people before us 30% of whom have emigrated, 10% of whom have died and the remaining 60% are starving to death. These statistics reveal the extent of the unsafe living environment in Afghanistan that leads to continuous migration. Afghans perceive their situation as dangerous.
Theres constant fear of hunger and death. A nation with an emigration rate of 30 % certainly feels hopeless about its future. Of the 70 % remaining, 10% have been killed or died and the rest or 60 % were not able to cross the borders or if they did, they were sent back by the neighboring countries. I came across more serious data in one of the Red Cross camps.
The Canadian group that had come to defuse mines found the tragedy simply too vast, lost hope and returned. Based on these same figures, over the next 50 years the people of Afghanistan must step on mines in groups to make their land safe and inhabitable. The reason is because every group or sect has strewn mines against the other without a map or plan for later collection.
Over the past two years, only 10,000 hectares of opium were eradicated: less than 4% of the amount planted, with an enormous human and economic cost. Interdiction, not a priority, suffered. As a result, although 90% of the worlds opium comes from Afghanistan, less than 2% is seized there.
Yet, the world over, drug money eventually trumps ideology, and becomes as addictive as the dope itself. Afghanistan is approaching this point. After years of collusion with criminal gangs and corrupt officials, some insurgents are now opportunistically moving up the value chain: not just taxing supply, but getting involved in producing, processing, stocking and exporting drugs.
According to the United Nations, in Afghanistan since 2002 - when armies of the USA have been entered into the country and the NATO, - sharp growth of manufacture of opium has begun.
Annual world demand for illicit opium has never exceeded 5,000 tons. Yet, over the past few years, including in 2009, Afghan supply has well-exceeded this amount. Illicit drug stockpiles may have now reached 10,000 tons enough to satisfy two years of world (heroin) addiction, or three years of medical (morphine) prescription.
The vulnerable are most at risk: drug use in Afghanistan is a growing problem, particularly among refugees. Drug addiction and HIV are spreading death and misery along opiate trafficking routes, particularly in Central Asia and Russia. Around the world, but especially in Europe, once again tens of thousands will die this year from heroin overdoses.
According to UN reports, one million Afghans will die of hunger within the next few months. Today, when you enter Afghanistan, you see people lying around on street corners. Nobody has energy to move and no arms to fight with. Fear of punishment stops them from committing crimes. The only remedy is to stay and die while humanity is overtaken by indifference. This is not Sadis time of all men are limbs of one body.
The cost to U.S. taxpayers of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001 has topped $1 trillion, when U.S. lawmakers approved the fiscal 2010 defense spending bill that included $128 billion to be spent on the two conflicts through September 30, and President Barack Obama is expected to request another $33 billion to fund more troops this year.
Scientists agree that human activity causes a rise in both average world temperatures and the occurrence of extreme weather events. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, rich countries have emitted the overwhelming share of the greenhouse gases causing the earth's atmosphere to warm.
Yet the world's poor are first and hardest hit by the consequences of climate change. Many countries have already experienced deadly droughts and floods. And climate-induced natural disasters have displaced hundreds of thousands of people across the world, while global fresh water resources become increasingly scarce.
Although both renewable energy alternatives and energy efficiency technologies are widely available, governments hesitate to take serious and immediate action, and continue allowing wasteful use of fossil fuels in energy consumption. Under the Kyoto protocol, countries have committed to specific emissions reduction targets by 2020. But reductions under the present protocol are far too small and the world's largest emitter, the US, remains outside the agreement.
A globally coordinated response with the participation of both the US and the large fast-growing economies of China and India is necessary to prevent a disaster that will significantly reduce human well-being and could cause massive species extinction and a collapse of the global ecosystem.
Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping, the Sudanese negotiator, said the accord spelt "incineration" for Africa and compared it to the Nazis sending "6 million people into furnaces" in the Holocaust.
Andy Atkins, executive director of Friends of the Earth, said: "This toothless declaration that the US is spinning as a success is a sham this agreement won't stop a two degree rise in temperature and, as it stands, condemns millions of the world's poorest people to hunger, suffering and loss of life as climate change accelerates.
Problems such as these have cast doubts on whether COP15 can succeed. There are also concerns about whether any action we take now to prevent climate change may be too little too late. A Guardian poll revealed almost nine out of 10 climate scientists do not believe political efforts to restrict global warming to an additional 2C — the level the EU defines as "dangerous" — will succeed.
GLOBAL CLIMATIC ANOMALIES the UNIQUE reason it is abnormal fast growth of number and force of acts of nature, including sharp cold snaps and icings, infringement of global mechanisms of stabilization of a climate of a planet last years, the global exhaustion on 8-10 % of an ozone layer is.
Last data COMPLETELY confirms all conclusions of the specified works. In 2003-2005 the number and force of acts of nature including earthquakes, the damage from them in 2004 has exceeded $250 billion has sharply increased, was lost more than 300 thousand persons.
The global exhaustion of an ozone layer has begun after carrying out of nuclear tests in atmosphere, large-scale application of supersonic aircraft in Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia, starts of "shuttles" and rockets "Arian",
flights of "Concordes", tests of new types of flights with speeds of flight 5-8g application of combat missiles on firm fuel (quantity flights in Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia - more than 1000 in day!; In case of war with the North Korea or Iraq of the Air Forces of the USA can increase number flights to 4000 in day!) .
Thus, wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq, and Afghanistan have led to sharp growth of rates of global warming of a climate, to a sharp exhaustion of an ozone layer in Europe, to strengthening of acts of nature and, even, to strengthening and increase of earthquakes.
Fast thawing of ices in Antarctic is abnormal, to Arctic regions and Greenland became the reason of strengthening of catastrophic earthquakes. According to given to E.Kerri (the professor of Massachusetsky university) destructive force of hurricanes for last 30 years has increased by 50 %, and duration of hurricane and a strength of wind in it directly depend on water rise in temperature at ocean: speed of a wind in hurricane increases approximately by 5 % at rise in temperature on 1 degree.
At growth of average temperature of a surface water on 0,5 degrees, instead of expected 3 % of increase in speed of a wind and 10 % of growth of destructive force of hurricanes, destructive force of average hurricanes has grown twice in Northern Atlantic and on 75 % - in a northwest part of Pacific ocean.
The most powerful hurricanes of 4 and 5 categories began to happen on the Earth almost twice more often, than 35 years ago: in 1990 their average has grown to 18 in a year in comparison with 10th in 70th years. However, as it is told in "Gospel" "the lifted sword, from a sword will be lost": among 10 most powerful hurricanes fixed at coast USA, four have occurred in 2004-2005 ("Vilma", "Rita", "Katrina" - 2005, "Iven" of 2004; only the insured damage from "Katrina" has made 30 billion dales).
The termination of financing of military programs and programs of "star wars", starts of "shuttles" and solid-propellant missiles, the termination of military operations and flights of planes in a stratosphere, measures on ozone restoration are necessary for reduction of acts of nature and earthquakes.
Military programs should be reoriented on ozone layer restoration, liquidation of consequences of accidents, struggle against hunger, and introduction of power saving up technologies. War with Iran will lead to the further destruction of an ozone layer and sharp strengthening of hurricanes, flooding, droughts, and earthquakes.
Humans have wrought such vast and unprecedented changes on the planet that we may be ushering in a new period of geological history. The new epoch, called the Anthropogenic - meaning new man - would be the first period of geological time shaped by the action of a single species. It is feared that the damage mankind has inflicted will lead to the sixth largest mass extinction in Earth's history with thousands of plants and animals being wiped out.
