Climate Change Is Happening, And These Images Of Pakistan — One Third Of Which Is Under Water — Prove It
Humans caused global
warming. It's past time we fixed it.
1. After months of incessant
rainfall and flooding, one third of Pakistan is under water, leaving the country
and its people in crisis.
2. The flooding, which United Nations
Secretary-General António Guterres called "a monsoon on steroids," is the latest
climate-driven catastrophe faced by Pakistan. Earlier this year, the months
between March and May saw record-breaking highs in temperature and a prolonged
drought that human-caused climate change made 30 times more likely to occur,
as reported by World Weather Attribution.
3. Now, the effects of climate change and global
warming are once again on display, and this time, it's on a massive scale.
4. According to Vox, more than 1,130 people have been killed during Pakistan's
monsoon season, which started in early June, and the flooding has affected 33
million people and counting.
5. Homes and buildings have been ripped away by
roaring tides.
