Public sentiment is largely negative, characterized by frustration over governmental mismanagement and corruption regarding disaster preparedness, and a deep sorrow for the victims of the flooding crisis. There is a strong call for international aid, disappointment over the allocation of resources to the military instead of disaster response, and an urgent request for improved governance to address the climate-induced challenges faced by Pakistan.

The effects of climate change are already hear, and sadly, incidents like this are only going to get deadlier and more frequent.

We could have put a stop to all this, God knows we had ample time. But the world's richest people needed a few extra billions in their accounts, so I guess it was all worth it? 🤷🏾‍♂️😕

If only their theocrat army spent a dime of the aid that was given into safety instead of spawning terrorists or murdering innocents.

So is this something that couldn't have been prepared for or is the government negligent?

SS: Pakistan was devastated by floods in 2022, and now, just a few years later in 2025, the country is once again facing severe flooding. Pakistan has been one of the hardest hit nations by climate change so much so that even its port city, which historically never saw such heavy rainfall, is now overwhelmed, with infrastructure unable to cope. This has sparked a growing realization among people that urgent action must be taken.

How much time until Pakistan reaches state failure do you reckon?

i.e. 2023-Somalia-level values of the Fragile States Index, or something like that

what a shitty article. Not one clear sentence that tells me how bad things are.

"One of the worst years in recent history" Really? Like how bad? 5th bad in the last 30 years? That's not so bad.

"Thousands of people evacuated" There are 250million people living in Pakistan. Thousands of them doesn't sound like a big deal in the country that I've heard being flooded my entire life.

A video clip of people doing rounds on tractors??? WTH? How does that have anything to do with the story about illegal building in river deltas?

"A day with temperatures above 50c, made 30 times more likely by climate change" Like what's the problem just telling me how many days were above 50c. Is it 30 days rather than 1 day? Is it a whole week where before there were 7 years without a single day?

Don't get me wrong I think Pakistan is probably fucked sooner rather than later (though I haven't looked into that) but why can't an article actually try to convince me that's the case?

Talking about environment and then army cutting down thousands of trees for multan DHA 🤡

pewpew69_

Climate and Population control should be the first agenda for Pakistan rn. Deradicalisation and massive education campaign should be the 2nd. Teaching everyone irrespective of their ages about basic Civic senses should be the third. I hope someday we will become a civilized nation.

Gloomy-Wave1418

You’re right, but have you ever seen a national agenda or an emergency declared for education and health in this country? Of course not, despite these being basic needs for everyone. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen sincere leadership in decades that truly cares for the country or its people.

Right now, Pakistan is going through extremely difficult times due to climate and environmental changes, leading to cloudbursts, earthquakes, and floods. I remember visiting the Northern Areas in the 1990s; they were lush with greenery and tall trees. After the 2006 earthquake, half of that greenery was lost, and now most of the trees have been cut down. Sadly, people don’t consider it important to replant trees in that soil. The same is happening in Sindh and Punjab, which a major contributors to climate change in our region.

As citizens, we have responsibilities. Let’s fulfill our duty and start planting trees for the sake of our children’s future

Gibrankhuhro

Climate change should be the utmost priority but in a country like Pakistan where responsible people are busy looting economy and fighting petty fights as which seat is given to which party or person and supressing political leaders, how can we focus on important things.

ComplexDark9570

There is a national agenda? 🤡

The IQ of our politics has gone even further down.

AtmosphericReverbMan

Pakistan is not a contributing country to climate change. We are an affected country. Reducing emissions doesn't help us at all. Planting trees in a semi arid climate is a limited gain. (Not saying we shouldn't plant trees, we should plant lots of trees especially in urban areas and we do have a running programme to encourage that) but planting trees in the face of our looming catastrophe is like planting straws in while the dam breaks.

Pakistan's climate impact is 1) water scarcity bundled with more and more intense monsoon and glof run offs and 2) temperature extremes, like longer and hotter summers. Secondary effects from the two like infrastructure lost, infectious disease and economic losses.

Pakistan is already doing what it can to battle water scarcity, like trying to build large dams and raise money to do that but there are political considerations. We're also trying to solarise, Pakistan is one of the top solarisers in the world.

We're a country with limited resources and doing what we can to mitigate the impact of climate change. We literally fought a war 3 months ago which is being called one of the first water wars to come.

Tree Tsunamis and switching to paper straws is not really anything that actually effectively mitigates the crisis ahead of us.

every year,same problem,same pathetic response

thE-petrichoroN

I watched a video today on how Pakistan has some of the most fresh groundwater in the world, and current models estimate that it will begin PERMANENTLY drying up in 2050. That means that probably by like 2060-2080 there will be huge issues with growing crops. Also, floods and extreme weather events are supposed to get more common

ironmagnesiumzinc

It is but its all lip service or in the hopes that we will get some mooneeyyyy

BroadRefuse

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.

AlexFromOgish

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

Some people don't even acknowledge this, a guy commented on FB that it's just a slang by Gen Z and people were agreeing with him.

bigasfanhead

Pakistan contributes less than 1% to global emissions. There's nothing we can do that will affect this. It's the western countries who need to control their emissions.

Pakistan has 3% of world population but produce only 0.52 of world CO2. While top 3 CO2 producer are China, USA and India.

What can we do? Plead to them?

tmango321

I guess all we can really do on a personal level is focus on tree plantation and conserving water as much as possible. The Gov. also needs to do some serious energy reforms.

Top_Masterpiece_2053

For considering the climate change a national emergency, there must be people among those running the country who own the country.

maybe because we basically contribute nothing to the world in terms of emissions? Wth?
