The term ‘climate change’ must be put into political-economic context; nature is not simply metamorphosing independently of human action. Millions of Seraikis, Sindhis, Baloch, Gilgit-Baltistanis etc, are drowning because international donors, successive Pakistani governments, military officials, civil bureaucrats, ‘expert’ engineers and the capitalist class have carried on with business as usual, pillaging natural resources, recklessly promoting real estate development and tourism, and building mega-development infrastructure.
