Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Journalists in Pakistan have condemned government inaction with respect to climate change, which they blame for unusually harsh winter weather, and heavy snowfall.
According to The Express Tribune;
Swept under the carpet: Climate change remains little-known threat in K-P
PESHAWAR:
Climate change is a subject that is not widely discussed in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa even though spending in this regard has increased by 88% over the last four years from Rs13 billion to Rs24.4 billion.
While this matter is brushed under the carpet, weather anomalies under the El Nino effect have drastically increased. Through this phenomenon, when the surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean rises, more rain and snowfall is expected in winter.
The effects of this phenomenon are likely to grow manifold in 2016.
However, this has not encouraged officials of the provincial government to put their heads together and come up with a workable strategy to address the effects of climate change.
…
Implications
Winter has become particularly harsh and the precipitation levels have also been affected.
Snowfall that was expected in February began in November. Erratic patterns of rainfall have caused flooding. This has resulted in a considerable loss to life in urban areas and dealt a heavy blow to the provincial exchequer.
According to estimates, each spell of rain in urban areas across the province has resulted in the death of at least three people.
Floods triggered by the glacial lake outburst phenomena (GLOF) phenomenon have killed more than 90 people across Malakand Division. And yet, there are a series of doubts as to what has caused these events.
Here I was thinking that the Himalayas were melting away. Luckily journalists on the scene have corrected this misapprehension, and helped us to understand that global warming causes harsher winters and a massive increase in snow accumulation. Though placing the blame on local politicians seems a bit unfair – perhaps the politicians are simply holding back, keeping their UN climate money safely deposited somewhere on behalf of the public, until next year, when global warming will cause the end of snow.
Only one year of climate change left to go. Best wishes to all as we wade into it.
Why would Pakistan want to do anything?
Within Islam all events on Earth are the will of god, not the hopes and desires of man. And if god wants the world to warm then Insha’Allah – it is god’s will. And to say otherwise is blasphemous and punishable by death. So tell me, why would any Pakistan politician want to put his life on the line and say that warming is man-made? Salman Taseer was the last politician to cross the blasphemy line, and he was murdered by his own bodyguard.

Why can nobody in the West understand that Muslim politics and culture is on a completely different planet to the rest of the world? Who is next for the chopping-block?
Insha’Allah
=========
Exactly the same as Christian beliefs in medieval Europe, prior to the Age of Science.
All that Science has done is to replace “God’s will” with “the forces of nature”. Rather than placing money in the collection plate to show our devotion to God, we now pour taxes into renewable energy to show our devotion to Mother Nature. Those that fail to believe in Climate Change are seen as sinners, much like Pagans were seen by Christians. Both deny the self evident truth of belief.
Mother Nature Laughs at Carbon Fairies……
Correction….
Mother Nature laughs at Climate Alarmists and their Fairy Dust !!!
Ignorance is bliss for the P authorities.
And the money is set aside for those new Mercs and Audis.
It looks like so much BS has been spouted by the believers that the mouth breathers are now confused about the difference between climate and weather. The journos sentiment is exactly right. The local authorities need to get some of the climate cash back from their Swiss bank accounts and buy some snow blowers.
Adapting to changing weather is the sensible approach. In the UK they spend a little on everything because with a temperate maritime climate controlled by the North Atlantic drift you never know what the weather is going to throw at you. Pakistan knows they will get heavy snow in the winter but does nothing to alleviate it because the resources are all filtered away by corrupt local politicians before anything hits the ground.
We once tried a project to provide midwife training in the Karakoram where the death rate in childbirth is appalling. Midwives were prepared to give up their time and careers to go out there and train local women. There was no money involved so eventually it failed because the local pollies were not getting their palms greased. Women’s lives are worthless to them. So one dies in childbirth, just trot out a younger version and carry on. As long as corruption rules these territories there will be no progress and the local journos can whistle for it.
My respects to all Pakistani avalanche casualties. My thoughts are now particularly with the 140 lost in Himalayas on 7 April 2012. May they rest in peace.
Fully understanding weather isn’t always climate even in planet GIGO lexicon, the climate change wheel on fortune hyperbole seems to suffer from prophetical algor effect, but this time in reverse. The weather in Pakistan is currently sunny and seems fine to me:
The lowest temperature is 60F in Quetta (Jan daily mean 38.7F) and
the highest 86F in Karachi (Jan daily mean 64.6F).
WUWT?

haven’t heard much from the journalists in Peru-
Heavy snowfall in Peru – In the summer!
Happy New Year one and all. Here is what I think is a great present for everyone.

Tony Thomas: The Fishy ‘Science’ of Ocean Acidification https://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2016/01/01/tony-thomas-the-fishy-science-of-ocean-acidification/#more-24811
There whole thing is a hoot. I could not find which link goes to the original post, maybe someone better than I can. Anyway, the graphic is great and the essay humorous.
I hope someone enjoys.

Yes. Governments worldwide have “decided” that we need to control the weather, by making ourselves poorer. Pakistan needs to get with the program.
I see that many Pakistanis have the same understand as Australians – climate change affects individuals countries differentially and in inverse proportion to the amount of money spent internally on abatement. (As opposed to its predecessor “global warming,” which was – you know, global.)
This journalist lacks the fundamental knowledge of meteorology, Here a comparable article and my comments!
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/uk-weather-why-the-recent-devastating-floods-will-become-the-new-normal-a6793291.html
When You have a unprofessional selective view on weather & climate You com such conclusion: “In the past four weeks there has been an almost complete lack of frost, with the UK average temperature during December hitting a record-breaking 8C, which according to the Met Office is about 4.1C above the long-term average – beating the previous record of 6.9C set in 1934.”
Europe is in the same climate cell with North Africa & Middle East, so question why is it in Syria, Jordan, Arabia so cold, why is there snow and not here!
“This 4.1C temperature anomaly was higher than for any calendar month since 1910, which means that temperatures in the last month of 2015 – now the officially the warmest year globally – were closer to what we usually expect for April or May.”
So if You would honestly & scientifically measure all over the climate cell, You would see that we have a temperature and precipitation shift from North to South.
How is that possible within such a short time of about 20 years?
What has changed, what was changed?
Who has changed it?
How was it changed?
Everything gets a sense when You replace the propaganda words “climatechange” & “globalwarming” with Geoengineering, Tropospheric Solar Radiation & Water Management!
I will not put links here because they are censored out because of bad designed & moderated comment software, but You may search for following key words to find my website for more information: geoengineering geoarchitektur SRM HAARP chemtrails
Or just go to the blog!
geoarchitektur DOT blogspot DOT com
The topic I am explaining requires from the reader attaining some basics about Meteorology, specifically about mechanisms of cloud formation, different kind of clouds for being able to use and abuse them for artificial weather warfare or commercial harvesting of tropospheric water.
The technology comes into the public as Stratospheric Solar Radiation Management to stop globalwarming. When notorious liars tell You that they want to save the climate, feed the poor, bring peace etc. You have to expect the opposite of them, because the truth is always the opposite of lie. A swindler has always to tell lies to his victims.
First thing You have to understand is that they say Stratospheric (ca. 21km – 50km) but mean Tropospheric (0km – ca. 11km over Europe & USA). As I don’t want my comment being blocked again, I will not put links here. So please search for “CO2_Molecule_of_Life.pdf” to get the basics about CO2 first. Because all this house of lies about man made globalwarming & climatechange is built on the profound lie about CO2.
Think about a slogan of mine “Don’t blame the SWEAT for the HEAT!” Put that together with “enkidu gilgamesh” into Your search to find a infographic JPG, showing some main aspects of clouds.
What they basically do is steering the thermal heat & tropospheric water by building artificial ice clouds, based on intentionally sprayed fine dust from ca. 6km up to ca. 12km. At the beginning these artificial aerosol ice clouds built up along the the trail of the dust spraying jets. Therefore these are called chemtrails to separate them from contrails. Within an hour they are trimmed by high frequency radiation and build a white cover blocking the sunlight, collecting the humidity, drying out the area around and lifting more humidity from lower layers. Such chemtrails and artificial covers are the practical appliance of TROPOSPHERIC Solar Radiation Management.
The target of global Empire is to grab the full global cycle of WATER & CARBON! Therefore the first create a psychology of guilt by asking You about Your “water footprint” & “carbon footprint”. This is Neuro Linguistic Programming or as George Orwell named it Newspeak, masterly designed and applied to steal air, water, sunlight & soil and damage the health of all living creatures without being punished for this crime.
I am explaining that in my blog-posts in more detail, with translations in various languages. Most of it is primarily English or German. If You have understood the topic and would like to translate into another preferred language, please contact me. I will integrate Your translation under the symbol flag of this language.
This technology is causing huge collateral damage, with extreme weather events, but as long as the people accept the event being the result of man made globalwarming, they can only blame themselves.
Most people lack the knowledge, so they cannot understand what I am telling here. However please take care about Your VitaminD level and of Your children. By blocking the sunlight, most people don’t get enough UV-B rays, even when they are outside every day. VitaminD is produced under our skin with UV-B radiation during the optimal sunlight during the noon time. Children & elderly people are affected harder, as old people need more sunlight to get enough VitaminD and children need it to build their bones and teeth and to grow.
I’m glad someone’s on the job.
I’ll sleep more soundly at night now.
I have mixed emotions: the correct conclusion (i.e. that the government is the problem) has been arrived at for all the wrong reasons.
The location is correct, but the velocity is wrong, and momentum may drive the masses into an inauspicious position.
