The article explains that climate change could make floods more likely in the future.

Scouring the fora here, I notice very few threads on the disaster that has struck Pakistan, and those that are there, have no replies or very few. Why? I would have expected a disaster on that scale would merit a lot of comment and discussion.

What would you like to discuss about it? Obviously, it is a horrible tragedy, on an unimaginable scale. Surely no one is in favor of death and destruction.

According to the BBC article, climate change may partially be responsible, but so is deforestation and the questionable use of levees. I think Pakistan may be able to come up with better flood control measures than levees, but halting deforestation will be difficult in such a poor country. And, of course, there is little Pakistan can do about climate change.

I am praying for those people.
