Heatwave

The temperature in Pakistan soared to unprecedented levels in May and summer is just beginning. In this scorching heat, simply getting to work is hard. The reason behind this increase in temperature is global warming and the emission of greenhouse gases. Many factors contribute to global warming. Some of these include the consumption of fossil fuels, deforestation, emission of greenhouse gases, urban sprawl etc.

The need of the hour is for the government to diminish the lethal effects of global warming. This includes facilitating the switch to renewable energy, promoting electric vehicles, preventing deforestation and preserving other green spaces. It is also our moral duty to assist the government in addressing this issue so that coming generations are protected from the drastic effects of climate change.
