Our Senior Scientist @fahadiii.bsky.social speaks to BBC News about how the fatal floods in Pakistan were made 15% more intense due to climate change.
"If you consider that Pakistan's role in total emissions is less than 1%, it's a big case of climate injustice," he says

New study from @wwattribution.bsky.social highlights that a prolonged heat wave in Pakistan and neighbouring countries caused “the atmosphere to draw in more moisture and amplify rainfall when the monsoon system arrived,” @fahadsaeed.bsky.social told @mongabay.com.

Heavy monsoon rains have led to more than 300 deaths in Pakistan since late June. Climate change increased the downpours by about 15% 📈

@fahadiii.bsky.social shows that climate change made Pakistan’s deadly monsoon floods ~15% heavier. Flooding killed at least 300 people.

Pakistan is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, with temperatures pushing the limits of human survival. Deaths are going underreported, and the situation is worsened by inadequate planning and reliance on fossil fuels. Read the latest from Dr Fahad Saeed: climateanalytics.org/comment/paki...

Our bodies have hard limits as to how much heat and humidity we can tolerate. Lethal humid heat is a growing threat
More than 1,300 Hajj pilgrims died this year when humidity and heat pushed past survivable limits. It’s just the start
