Experts have warned that Karachi could be fully submerged by 2060. And it is something alarming. According to the British High Commission, some scientists have warned that if the current trend of rising sea levels continues, Karachi might be fully flooded by 2060. As the temperature is already rising and this year it has crossed the highest in the previous 74 years. And it has been hypothesized that coastal storm surges and rising sea levels are expected to rise more by 2030.
The analysts are of the opinion that: “By the year 2100, 36 percent of the glaciers in the Hindu Kush and Himalayan ranges will have vanished due to rising temperatures. Because of the urgent circumstances, Pakistan, along with the rest of the world community, must respond quickly “.
So, it is highly necessary for the government to take initiatives to cope with this problem. Moreover, it is also our primary responsibility to play our part and to stop Global warming. Global warming can help us to lessen the melting of glaciers of Hindu Kush and Himalaya and that would fall the rising of sea level.
