Public sentiment is characterized by a blend of deep concern for the victims, frustration towards government inefficiency, and criticism of global inaction on climate issues. While many comments express empathy for those affected, there is also a significant amount of cynicism and dark humor about the situation, reflecting skepticism about potential aid and governmental responses. Overall, the mood conveys sorrow, anger towards systemic failures, and a call for unity and support.

SS: This article from the Guardian describes the way accelerated glacier melting is super-charging the monsoon season in Pakistan. Current temperatures in the mountains have reached an "unprecedented" 119.3F. Previous record was 116.6 in 1971.

The head of the region's disaster management made this statement**: "The rise of temperature has sent a shiver down our spines. We have never before witnessed such weather here.”**

The article notes that Pakistan one of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries. The former climate change minister had this to say, in no uncertain terms:

**“We are at the epicentre of a global climate polycrisis,” she wrote on X. “Pakistan is now number one in 2025 as the most climate-impacted country. That’s huge. But do you see alarm bells ringing? I don’t.”**

This is collapse related because multiple people in this article describe the situation as "hell" "unprecedented" "never seen anything like this" -- The great fear is that this could be a repeat of the devastating 2022 floods... which was just three years ago.

“We are at the epicentre of a global climate polycrisis.”

Just heartbreaking.

So, it seems only a matter of relatively short time, before we will read on the first Pakistani cities that will face serious drinking water problems, after the recent article on Kabul.

I've long wondered when countries hardest hit will start using sanctioned violence, or would produce rogue actors or cells who use violence, against other nations they perceive as the cause of their suffering.  In this case, it's an especially scary thought, since Pakistan has the bomb.

Instead of crying about flooding, make some dams, and profit from hydro power.

Ordinary people just died due to an extreme weather event and we have geopolitical blame happening in the comments section. All the crap, disappointment, and betrayal that we all get from our elected leaders and officials is well-deserved cause clearly we ain't better than them.
