PM’s Climate Change Advisor Amin Aslam, who happens to be the most reticent among the PM’s team mates, has consistently maintained silence about the havoc being caused by climate change, as if this was an insignificant matter. The PTI government needs to ponder the extent of the damage that has been done by climate change in Pakistan. Rains, storms, flash floods and rising temperatures are affecting all the four provinces, besides AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, with increased frequency and destructive force. The weather predictions by the Pakistan Meteorological Department and the warnings to the population by the Pakistan Disaster Management Authority provide insufficient time to the population to fend for itself. The way climate change is hitting Pakistan, any extreme climate event can lead to a disaster.
