According to environment news<\/strong>, the condition of nature is getting more intense day by day. We can blame global warming for this as most of the climatic issues are because of global warming. However, global warming is not only to blame here. There are several more things to blame, including us humans. Here is today\u2019s environment news<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How climate change is linked to Pakistan floods<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to the environment news<\/strong> the recent flood that occurred in Pakistan was a wake-up call for the whole world as it indicated the threats of climate change, according to experts.\u00a0<\/strong>Record-breaking\u00a0<\/strong>rain like this would not just devastate poor nations but would shake up any country in the whole world. According to the Climate minister of Pakistan Sherry Rehman 1\/3rd<\/sup> of Pakistan is in water as of now, which is most chaotic than we have ever seen in the past.<\/p>\n

There was a little injustice to Pakistan as they contributed less than 1% to global warming, but their geographic region was the problem. Pakistan is situated in a place that is between of two big weather systems. Out of which one can cause very high temperatures and drought. This is in March, and one brings heavy rain. Most of the Pakistani population lives near the river Indus, which can flood in the rainy season. The science behind climate change and the monsoon is quite simple. Global warming is making the sea temperature rise, which is the reason for more evaporation.<\/p>\n

According to experts, the rainfall in India’s summer monsoon will increase and the reason will be climate change. But what makes Pakistan\u2019s condition different from India’s is their glaciers. There is also a popularly called third pole which is in northern region of Pakistan, has more glacier ice than anywhere in the world outside the polar region. As the world is heating up, the glaciers are melting.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The problem is in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber region where the glacier is melting at a very fast rate, and that is creating a lot of water bodies in Pakistan. And the more problematic thing is that 33 of them are very risky as they can burst anytime, and when this happens, debris will put 7 million humans at risk.<\/p>\n

Switching to Green Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the UK had been around with the plan of reducing the use of fossil fuels, they would have been paying billions of pounds less. The sense of extremity should be the same for switching to green fuel as it is for finding the COVID vaccine. The government of the UK said there was an increase of 500% in renewables since 2010. According to a spokesperson of the BIES if we didn\u2019t deployed any clean energy years ago the bills would have been huge today, thanks to clean energy they are much lower today than what it should have been<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are already plans to make investment in renewable energy, according to BEIS. The coalition government, which was led by David Cameron, made a lot of development in the year 2013. These changes included cutting back on the support for power savings and later ending the subsidies for onshore winds. If they didn\u2019t do that, the bill of energy would have been hundred millions of pounds less than what it is today. This was said by Mr. Jackson in environment news<\/strong><\/a> on BBC Radiow live.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to a report by Carbon Brief energy analysis site, the energy bills of the United Kingdom was nearly 2.5 billion pounds higher than they would have been if the climate policies hadn\u2019t been scrapped in the past 10 years. The shift to green energy will not just help in preventing the catastrophic change that we are already seeing and also will bring down the cost of energy.<\/p>\n
