Outlier(s) VII

Early September just like mid April brought four days of rebel heat.

Hot sun piercing my neck

NYC's air is thick as goo.

This unseasonable swamp is a heavy woe.

Just like the news of an Omega block in Europe,

uniting the Mediterranean through extreme heat and flash floods,

taking all in their wake like syrup.

It's hard to process wet-bulb globe temperatures,

plum colored bar charts,

uneven cooling opportunities.

I wear jumpers at work while Central Pakistan's hospitals struggle to cool wards full with people weakened by heat strokes.

Empty dispensaries swept away in previous floods.

When the night rolls in

many bodies still aren't cooling,

no sound asleep, no respite in this heavy heat.

Temperatures south Asians dread each year arrive early as experts talk of ever shorter transition to summer-like heat

[doomdaysdecays]

can we talk about how india & pakistan are facing deadly heatwaves again...this february was the hottest in india since they started recording temperatures in 1901 i mean this is insane. can we do something can we just make it stop

Global Warming: A Growing Threat to Our Planet

https://www.worldopress.com/post/the-fragile-truce-analyzing-the-fractured-india-pakistan-ceasefire-and-india-s-strategic-imperative refers to the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Primarily driven by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, global warming has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century.

Causes of Global Warming

The root cause of global warming lies in the increased concentration of greenhouse gases—mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). These gases trap heat from the sun, creating a "greenhouse effect" that warms the planet. While the greenhouse effect is a natural and necessary phenomenon, human activities have intensified it to dangerous levels.

Burning coal, oil, and natural gas for energy and transportation releases vast amounts of CO₂. Agriculture contributes through methane emissions from livestock and rice paddies, as well as nitrous oxide from fertilized fields. Deforestation also plays a critical role by reducing the number of trees that can absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Effects of Global Warming

The impacts of global warming are already being felt across the globe. One of the most visible effects is the increase in global temperatures, which has led to more frequent and intense heatwaves. Melting glaciers and polar ice caps contribute to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities with flooding and erosion.

Climate change also disrupts weather patterns, resulting in more extreme events such as hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires. Ecosystems are under threat, with species facing habitat loss and extinction. In human populations, global warming affects food and water security, health, and economic stability.

Mitigation and Adaptation

Addressing global warming requires a dual approach: mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through cleaner energy sources, improved efficiency, and sustainable practices. Renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, and hydropower are critical in this transition.

Adaptation involves adjusting our societies to minimize the damage caused by climate change. This includes building resilient infrastructure, developing drought-resistant crops, and planning for disaster response.

The Role of International Cooperation

Combatting global warming is a global challenge that demands coordinated international efforts. Agreements like the Paris Accord aim to limit the global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. Success depends on the commitment of governments, industries, and individuals alike.

Conclusion

Global warming is a defining issue of our time. Its consequences affect every aspect of life on Earth, from ecosystems to economies. While the challenge is immense, so too is the opportunity to reshape our future through innovation, cooperation, and responsible stewardship of the planet. Every action counts in the fight against climate change.

"'Many of the events predicted for 2050 or 2070 are already happening. We underestimated the speed of change'."

We are so fucked.

Climate whiplash is a rapid swing between very wet or dry conditions and can cause far more harm to people than individual extreme events alone. In recent years, whiplash events have been linked to disastrous floods in east Africa, Pakistan and Australia and to worsening heatwaves in Europe and China.

Clifton Urban Forest is a lush oasis amidst Karachi’s urban sprawl. Initiated on January 8, 2021, by Masood Lohar, the former head of UNDP-GEF SGP, from the platform of Sindh Radiant Organisation, this project aims at restoring the marine ecosystem which once adorned this stretch of the coast.

Today, after a little more than three years, it has flourished into a 220-acre haven of biodiversity and a beacon of hope for urban ecological renewal.

Masood’s story on how it all started is one worth listening. It began in a small blue camper’s tent, surrounded by heaps of garbage that once blighted this area. The bad odour was almost unbearable, he told me. With relentless dedication, he and his team removed tonnes of waste, dug deep to cleanse the land and planted 700,000 trees comprising 101 species, including mangroves, water lilies and lotuses. He has demonstrated unwavering commitment to this urban forest, to the point that he now lives on-site to personally take care of the trees, direct the whole team and prevent the illicit sale of rare birds. This Herculean effort transformed a neglected dump into the largest biodiversity-rich hotspot in Pakistan, attracting both local and migratory wildlife.

But Clifton Urban Forest’s impact extends far beyond flamingos. It hosts around 140 species of birds, including the black-tailed godwit and the Eurasian curlew, both internationally near-threatened species and the first-ever sighting of the crab plover in Pakistan. The forest’s dense foliage, teeming with insects, provides food for larger predators, creating a balanced ecosystem. This intricate web of life supports various species, from lizards and snakes to butterflies and honeybees, some of which are native and threatened species essential for pollination and ecosystem health.

In the face of escalating heatwaves and declining urban air quality, the Clifton Urban Forest plays a critical role in mitigating the harsh effects of climate change. Urban forests are vital for reducing temperatures, improving air quality and providing mental health benefits. This green lung of Karachi not only sequesters carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but also cools the surrounding areas, making life more bearable even in the hottest of the seasons.
