...the Pakistan flood in 2010 killed over 2000 people....and affected over 20,000,000
floods in Pakistan are not unusual....more like normal
try again > " Looking around the earth the warming trend and significant events are rather catastrophic"
Pakistan is just one of many events happening around the world, it doesn't stand by itself and now there is massive glacier melting to add to the problem.
how do they know its a 1 in 1000 years, record dont co back that far. Indians dont write stuff down
It's not historical, it means they have a 1 in 1000 chance of this type of flooding in any given year. The 1 in 1000 referred to the events we had in the US.

Even the floods in 2010 are part of the decline.
There’s a direct correlation with higher temperatures and the intensity of monsoonal rains, if I remember right. I remember reading on another thread a while ago the highest temperature on record worldwide was recorded earlier this summer in Pakistan. People are desperate to bury their head in the sand. Changes like EVs and renewable energy are just about the least invasive changes we can make as a species and yet people are still resisting and clinging onto fossil fuels. What happened to investing in the future? It’s ridiculous. Apparently people thought the motorcar was a fad at the turn of the century too, but besides the Mennonites who’s riding a horse and buggy today?

Actually, many Mennonites do indeed have gas vehicles. They'll even use tractors in their fields, have cell phones and use computers to create spreadsheets.
As far as weather events go, nothing happening now is "unprecedented". Pakistan always suffers flooding during most monsoon seasons. California always burns. What has made both those happenings more severe is that people are now living in the areas hit, especially in California where they've moved into the Urban/Wildland Interface where the vegetation is tinder even in "wet" years.
The Anasazi civilization fell due to a prolonged drought around 1000 years ago that lasted 300 years. The Dust Bowl started out as a prolonged drought made worse by the farming practices of the time.

so some a$$clown made up 1 in 1000.....and you bought it
Record temperatures in California, AZ and Montana, thousands of acres burning in Ca, OR, ID and state of emergency for flash floods in Georgia, a really bad year for weather.

I see where Pakistan is going to drain a lake which will flood a city of 150,00 to avoid flooding that will impact even higher population centers. One third of the country is underwater, the Sindh province received 466% more than the July and August average.
