Meltdown in the Himalayas - The politics of climate change | DW Documentary



The World Health Organisation puts the number of deaths from climate change at 250,000 by 2050. A combination of bad policies and political apathy is speeding up climate change. Have we reached the tipping point? Can it be reversed? Pakistan takes a bold bid to mitigate worsening climate change. The word Himalaya means House of Snow, and is the second largest icecap outside the polar regions. But it is melting at the fastest rate in human history. One-third of the Himalayan glaciers are projected to disappear by the end of this century due to climate change, threatening the supply of water to nearly 2 billion people across South Asia. We discover how water became a major flash point between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, due to the Siachen glacier conflict, and go undercover to observe the proliferation of water thieves in Karachi. We also examine the impact of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s billion tree tsunami, Pakistan’s bold bid to mitigate worsening climate change. Along the way, we meet people and activists trying to find ways to tackle the biggest issue of the 21st century.

A lot of work needs to be done - this includes sustainable farming practices, reducing dependency of fossil fuels, reducing carb footprint of consumables and FMCG, reforestation and investment in renewable energy sources. Climate change is a reality - and whilst many people were shoving the head in the sand, all those people who were shouting "NO PLANET B" were right.

Its all predicted , we can't control them

Even that is too little, too late.

The best thing South Asian nations can do to combat climate change is to resolve our disputes and fight the meltdown with united effort. We need to invest billions into the technology that can halt the meltdown. I suspect our only hope may be climate engineering - a dangerous remedy.

Some bodies which come under ministry of water resources and Ganga rejuvenation. A central government ministry

I am afraid that even if mountains were to non-exist we would still be walking around nonchalantly.

I am surprised DW has published a somewhat positive article about Pakistan.
 
Pakistan is being forced to take military measures for water security. The heinous Indian designs in Kashmir are genocidal not only for Kashmiris but also for Pakistanis.

It is but a matter of time that prolonged droughts and artificial flooding will result in the most massive of human disasters, Indo Pak war.
 
Pakistan could alleviate some the potential water shortage by building reservoir dams downstream.

Also, like in many places around the world, the water resources could be used more effectively through intelligent irrigations systems and water treatment plants.

In theory, i believe large parts of pakistan could be irrigated by forexample huge piping systems and drip irrigation. That would increase the livelyhood, food production and employments.
