It seems that mankind has no intention of taking any precautions for global warming, which scientists insist that it has reached the point of no return. The strange thing is that human beings, who are already struggling with economic problems, know that the disasters caused by global warming increase these problems twice. Unfortunately, mankind thinks that the Earth’s resources will never run out.
The Himalayas are giving up
It is of great importance as it also protects the largest frozen spring water reserves in the Poles behind the Himalayan Mountains, which pass through India, China, Nepal and Bhutan, but people do not care much.
Good news for PFAS chemicals
Record meltdowns have been detected in the Chhota Shigri glacier in the Himalayan Mountains due to the extremely rising temperatures. These meltdowns are destabilizing the delicate system in the Earth’s atmosphere and water cycles. This results in major floods or droughts.
Due to the melting glaciers, there are floods that are unprecedented in Pakistan’s history. Floods affected 50 million people and killed 1400 people. In addition, the Indus River, which contributes to 90 percent of the country’s food production, overflowed, damaging agricultural areas and water resources. He states that in 2050, around 1.5 billion people in Asia will have problems with water resources.
There are around 55 thousand glaciers in and around the Himalayan Mountains, and 7,000 of them directly feed Pakistan. Thousands of high-altitude lakes also began to overflow due to extreme melting.
Pakistan is the eighth country in the world that is weak against the climate crisis, but it contributes around 1% to global warming. Lahore was declared the most polluted city in the world. It is stated that Pakistan, which is already in an economic crisis, has suffered 10 billion dollars from floods this year. In addition, important food production resources have been affected.
On the other hand, iconic mountain peaks such as Everest and K2 are also undergoing change. Due to the melting glaciers, the facilities located here began to gradually move to lower regions. So we are heading towards a point of no return.
