No one is talking about Pakistan…

The climate catastrophe has caused the most devastating flooding in Pakistan. Well over a thousand people have died so far and over 6 million people are displaced - one third of the country is under water!
This is a horrific crisis and they are desperately in need of aid. It is deteriorating rapidly with more to come.
I have not seen it mentioned at all, and when I mentioned it to a friend she hasn’t heard of it at all.
Therefore I am posting here as I wanted to bring some more awareness to the situation.

Its just very grating for me when rich people like Elon Musk boast about fathering 10 children, each of which will have a bigger carbon footprint than probably 50 Pakistani children. But they will die while his DC will go on to become billionaires or right wing nutters or Trump fans.
