Climate change: Lost in Translation – The Express Tribune
One would most certainly make mockery of themselves if they were to discuss climate change and global warming with Pakistani politicians. Some might deem it as a spurious theory and a waste of their time, while others — with some insight — would hesitate, as solutions to these issues take more years to resolve than their term time in office. Being a global issue, there is an obvious free-riding problem: no one country is responsible for rising temperatures, changing climates, etc. Altruism is myopic and building a cleaner and safer planet for tomorrow is not yet on the agenda of our resource-strapped government. Issue closed, case adjourned? Hold your horses.
