More climate change propaganda and demagoguery!
This false story/narrative template is so typical! Articles based on this template are published almost every day! Easy for incompetent or wannabe journalists!
This piece of crap was written by a Research Associate at the Water Resources Research Institute, University of Arizona! A university degree does not convey intelligence!
At least the author mentions (by the way): "... Pakistan’s challenges include having a fast-growing population that has more than tripled since 1980 to over 250 million people.
A large part of that population, about 96 million, live along riverbanks and in dried riverbeds. Those areas provide flat, available land but also high flood risks. ..."
"... Pakistan has a long history of natural disasters, from lethal heat waves to flash flooding. As global temperatures rise, the risks from powerful downpours, flash floods and melting glaciers are increasing. ..."
This is the real problem! Very dramatic population growth since the 1960s.
