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 @wwattribution.bsky.social

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. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Our colleagues from @wenclims.bsky.social were also part of the team that conducted the scientific analysis of this study.

New research from @wwattribution.bsky.social and ‪@fahadiii.bsky.social‬ shows that climate change made Pakistan’s deadly monsoon floods ~15% heavier. Flooding killed at least 300 people. Events like these underscore the danger of overshooting 1.5°C. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

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
