Pakistan India our end is inevitable

[gulli]

Please take your climate religion somewhere else. Pakistan and India will be fine (unless we nuke each other to oblivion).

The sun is shining = climate change
The sun is not shining = climate change
Winters are cold = climate change
Winters are not so cold = climate change
Summers are hot = climate change
Summers are rainy = climate change

Just to sell expensive stuff to underdeveloped countries and for governments to have reasons to raise taxes. No thank you.

Soon we will get term called global warming market and which company controls how much share of it

Bhai you heat up on fake warming issue, we are just having fun. If we need to feed our poor, the wheel of economy must move on. We can't tell a dihai majdoor to stop working so the our future is secured. We need to secure food for our poorest in the process if earth is doomed so be it.

this not fake issue my friend, its a global issue earth is warming up, hamalian glaciers are melting up at alarming rates if their no fresh water in our rivers and lakes how would we survive in future, how can we feed our poors, there will be no fresh water for our fields etc etc???

 

[truthfollower]

grow more and more trees

what about population?

 

[Zarvan]

We need to grow more and more trees.

We are hardly any player is it and the culprit don't want to do anything on there ends, we are growing economy n need to create enough jobs for the fresh batch of new graduates every year. If all want us to sacrifice our growth not gonna happen..

Pakistan has almost zero CO2 emissions but we were not even invited by the USA for climate change conference.

The intelligent Indians as always have found the source to their problems.....if it's not ISI, then it's Pakistan.

It is very worrying. The biggest impact will be on crop and fruiting trees. Once these areas cannot produce crops, ppl will die from heat and hunger at the same time and not to forget shortage of water too.
Well i live above that northwestern edge of heat map, and the weather here is amazing along with plentiful water. I just hope there isnt any mass exodus towards our area.

 

[truthfollower]

mass exodus towards our area.

have you seen traffic jams on the roads going to murree during summer holidays and also to Naran

Yes they are massive. Once a traffic jam to nathia gali was so severe that ppl had to stay overnight in their cars. However, where i live, not many tourists come and the roads are not that good. But i hope there is no mass migration towards us due to heat waves.

Crop yield increases with increased CO2 levels.

 

[TNT]

Crop yield increases with increased CO2 levels.

Yeah but will it survive the extreme heat waves and resulting drought?

no one want to halt your progress but various industries need huge amounts of water and some needs only fresh water, our and your rivers and are already starting to dried up in various ways, so what about your inland industries that are away from sea and coastal regions of yours

Pakistan is flooding trees while India is flooding solar panels. Still it doesn’t seem to end quickly. But Delhi is not too hot its pretty normal.

Deadly heat waves will be common in South Asia, even at 1.5 degrees of warming


People living in South Asia already experience potentially deadly heat waves, but these events will likely become more commonplace in the coming decades even if global warming is limited to the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) target from the Paris Agreement, according to new research.

WASHINGTON—Residents of South Asia already periodically experience heat waves at the current level of warming. But a new study projecting the amount of heat stress residents of the region will experience in the future finds with 2 degrees Celsius of warming, the population’s exposure to heat stress will nearly triple.
Limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will likely reduce that impact by half, but deadly heat stress will become commonplace across South Asia, according to the new study in Geophysical Research Letters, AGU’s journal publishing high-impact, short-format reports with immediate implications spanning all Earth and space sciences.
With almost one quarter of the world’s population living in South Asia, the new study underlines the urgency of addressing climate change.
“The future looks bad for South Asia, but the worst can be avoided by containing warming to as low as possible,” said Moetasim Ashfaq, a computational climate scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and corresponding author of the new study. “The need for adaptation over South Asia is today, not in the future. It’s not a choice anymore.”
Earth has warmed by 1 degree Celsius since the start of the Industrial Revolution, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. On the current climate trajectory, it may reach 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming in 2040. This deadline leaves little time for South Asian countries to adapt. “Only half a degree increase from today is going to cause a widespread increase in these events,” Ashfaq said.
A hot region getting hotter
People living in South Asia are especially vulnerable to deadly heat waves because the area already experiences very hot, humid summers. Much of the population live in densely populated cities without regular access to air conditioning, and about 60% perform agricultural work and can’t escape the heat by staying indoors.
In the new study, the researchers used climate simulations and projections of future population growth to estimate the number of people who will experience dangerous levels of heat stress in South Asia at warming levels of 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius. They estimated the wet bulb temperature residents will experience, which is similar to the heat index, as it takes into account humidity as well as temperature. A wet bulb temperature of 32 degrees Celsius (89.6 degrees Fahrenheit) is considered to be the point when labor becomes unsafe, and 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) is the limit to human survivability – when the body can no longer cool itself.
Their analysis suggests at 2 degrees of warming, the population’s exposure to unsafe labor temperatures will rise more than two-fold, and exposure to lethal temperatures rises 2.7 times, as compared to recent years.

With 2 degrees Celsius of warming, the population of South Asia will experience more than double the exposure to unsafe labor temperatures (left) and will have almost three times the exposure to temperatures that cause lethal heat stress (right).

Curbing warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will likely cut that exposure in half, but large numbers of people across South Asia will still experience extreme temperatures. An increase in heat events that create unsafe labor conditions are likely to occur in major crop producing regions in India, such as West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, and in Pakistan in Punjab and Sindh. Coastal regions and urban centers such as Karachi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Peshawar are also likely to be heavily affected, according to the study.
“Even at 1.5 degrees, South Asia will have serious consequences in terms of heat stress,” Ashfaq said. “That’s why there is a need to radically alter the current trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions.”
The results differ from a similar study conducted in 2017, which predicted that heat waves of lethal temperatures will occur in South Asia toward the end of the 21st century. The researchers suspect the earlier study is too conservative, as deadly heat waves have already hit the region in the past. In 2015, large parts of Pakistan and India experienced the fifth deadliest heat wave in the recorded history, which caused about 3,500 heat-related deaths.
“A policy framework is very much needed to fight against heat stress and heat wave-related problems,” said T.V. Lakshmi Kumar, an atmospheric scientist at India’s SRM Institute of Science and Technology who was not involved in the work. “India has already committed to reduce emissions to combat climate change issues.”
The study was supported by National Climate‐Computing Research Center, which is located within ORNL’s National Center for Computational Sciences and supported under a Strategic Partnership Project between Department of Energy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Rural Planning and De-Urbanization is key for Pakistan to combat climate heat-up, coupled with Mass Tree Plantation, reforestation. The largest sized Province of Pakistan, has the lowest population of Pakistan. Redistribute population equally and equi-distant from each other, across Pakistan. Reforestation between the redistribution of population will combat climate heat build up!
