Ondon is famous for his unexpected season. OK? Well, Islamabad just said, “Hold my tea” seasonal roller coaster, which saw 35 ° C heat in the same hour and the hail stones that hit the windshield. When the residents entered the shelter and saw the chaos falling down the trees during the 35 minutes, it became clear that we were watching something beyond the weird weather … Climate change was showing their teeth in the Pakistani capital.
Zoomout, and the pattern becomes even more disturbing. Throughout the country, the weather has increased rapidly. Long, dry spells are diminished due to violent rains. The rain, when it comes, comes with revenge. The recent Oli Hurricane was another reminder that these are not isolated events, but part of the global crisis that most of us know as a climate change.
The rising global temperature is disrupting the Earth’s rainfall. These shifts have very real local results. Pakistan is blowing it. But before we dive into what it means for people and policy, let’s start with the question on all of us. How did we find a summer storm?
Science
To understand why we are seeing big and more frequent storms, we have to see what happens in the sky during thunderstorms with thunderstorms. The shapes of the hail are pulling the rain into the most cold areas of the atmosphere and frozen in the snow. Generally, these icy pellets fall very fast. But with rising temperatures and more humidity in the air, storms are getting power -ups.
Strong updifts are now suspending these frozen pellets in the clouds, which gives them time to collect the layer after the snow layer before the accident – much heavier and more destructive than ever. In Pakistan, where monsoon samples and long heat waves are now normal, these conditions have been prepared for the Supercharge Oil Storm.
Heat temperatures in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal are also playing a role. They are adding further instability to the environment, causing severe storms that can remove golf hair -shaped hail. Places that are occasionally used to get children of light now see the storm quite strong so that cars, windows break down, damage the roofs and destroy the crops.
Planning for Ole
These storms are no longer unusual. They are becoming weather events. This means that we need a plan, integrated strategy, with focus on climate adaptation. This is the way to ensure the preparation and adaptation of the changing samples of the weather. What is climate adaptation? These are steps that help reduce the risk of climate change effects. It is useful against the extremes and risks of the weather, increasing sea levels, decreasing biological diversity or against food and water insecurity. Through adaptation, people prepare and adjust the current and expected effects of climate change.
At the level of citizens, preparation is the key to dealing with these climate change. Preparation can be as easy as the use of weather warnings and mobile applications, secure and secure vehicles and roofs, investing in crop insurance, or installing heel net into where it is applicable. Along with the diversity of crops, the incorporating buffers of protection through climate -agriculture, awareness of the hail resistant methods and through a green infrastructure/ nature -based solution can also be a long -term solution for the protection of the crop.
A World Bank report estimates that climate change can put more than 100 million people in poverty. South Asia is one of the most affected regions. This is not a threat to the future. This is already happening.
On the policy and the institutional front, the initial warning system needs to be strengthened through modern weather tools and local predictions. The preliminary warning system will give a better system to the authorities to prepare and take steps to end destruction and reduce risk.
Regulatory companies should also consider implementing flexible building codes and promoting parameteric crop insurance schemes so that farmers can be protected from the loss of unprecedented crops from unprecedented crops, heatwaves or any climate. In addition, it is important to raise awareness of any potential weather threat to citizens.
In order to create long -term hurricane flexibility, as part of climate adaptation efforts, run public service messages and awareness campaigns, for flooding and drought. Last week, a warning was issued to the citizens for two days after the early hail. Advised, many people took precautions such as avoiding external activities and stacking their car screens to avoid potential damage.
The unequal effect of climate risks
Climate and environmental activist, a reference to Briana Freene, stands to describe the effects of climate change on people. “We will all be affected by the climate crisis one day, though in a very different ways … we are traveling on the same disturbing waters, but in very different boats.” That’s fine
Climate change does not kill everyone equally. The poorest community – those who have the least part in global emissions – are the weakest. Rural areas, informal settlements and low -income families lack the resources to rebuild after a storm, quit preparing for one. And within these groups, women bear the burden.
Climate change is not gender neutral. In many households, women are primarily responsible for food and water protection. When drought, floods or hurricanes occur, they remain. According to the United Nations, about 48 48 million more women are facing global food insecurity than men. That number is increasing with climate obstacles.
A World Bank report estimates that climate change can put more than 100 million people in poverty. South Asia is one of the most affected regions. This is not a threat to the future. This is already happening. Although structural reforms are very important, the flexibility begins with the level of community.
Here is a wake -up call for everyone. You do not see every day flying like bullets from the sky, but when you do, it should be understood that these events are no longer “rare”. They are symptoms of a warming planet, which is out of balance. Yes, policy makers are starting to step in the right direction. But, people have to play a role in keeping up, reducing their emissions and preparation for incoming communities.
Climate change is not only in coastal cities and in the Arctic. It is also falling into windshields in Islamabad. We cannot completely stop the storm, but with collective action, smart strategy and social flexibility, we can improve it better.
