Di disastrous cataracts for Pakistan be" wake- up call" to di world on di pitfalls of climate change, sabi pipo slip tok.
Di record- breaking rain go disturb any kontri not just poorer nations, one climate scientist slip tell BBC News.
Di mortal impacts dey clear- anoda,000 pipo dey saved from floodwaters on Friday.
While ministers advise of food dearths afta nearly half of di kontri crops slip wash down.
Dem seriously feel one sense of injustice for di kontri. Pakistan contribute lower dan 1 of di global hothouse feasts wey dey warm our earth.
But di terrain make am extremely parlous to climate change.
" Make we say, one- third of Pakistan dey aquatic right now, wey slip pass every boundary, every norm wey we slip see for di past"

Climate minister Sherry Rehman tok dis week.
Pakistan dey located for one place on di globe wey suffer di impact of two major rainfall systems.
One fit cause high temperatures and failure, like di heatwave for March, and di oda bring thunderstorm rains.
Di maturity of Pakistan population live along di Indus swash, wey swell and can submerge during thunderstorm rains. Di wisdom wey link climate change and further violent showers dey relatively simple. Global warming dey make air and ocean temperatures rise, lead to further evaporation. Warmer air fit hold further humidity, make thunderstorm downfall more violent. Scientists prognosticate say di average downfall for di Indian summer thunderstorm season go increase due to climate change, Anja Katzenberger for di Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research explain.
But Pakistan get commodity additional wey make am liable to climate change goods dia immense glaciers. Di northern region occasionally dey relate to as di' third pole'- e contain more glacial ice dan anywhere for di world outside of di polar regions.
As di world dey warm, glacial ice dey melt.
Glaciers for Pakistan Gilgit- Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regions dey melt fleetly.
Dis go produce more dan,000 lakes, di UN Development Programme tell BBC News.
Around 33 of dis dey at threat to burst suddenly, wey fit unleash millions of boxy measures of water and debris, to put 7 million pipo for threat.
Pakistan goment and di UN dey try to reduce di pitfalls of dis unforeseen outburst cataracts as dem instal early- warning systems and defensive structure. In di past poorer kontries wit weaker flood tide defences or lower- quality casing caddy dey less suitable to manage wit extreme downfall.
But climate impact scientist Fahad Saeed tell BBC News say indeed one rich nation fit dey overwhelmed by di disastrous flood tide dis summer.
" Dis one be different type of beast- di scale of di cataracts dey so high and di rain dey so extreme, dat indeed veritably big defence fit struggle"
Dr Saeed explain from Islamabad, Pakistan. E caddy point to di flooding for Germany and Belgium wey kill plenti pipo for 2021.
Pakistan admit nearly 190 further rain dan dia 30- time normal from June to August as e reach aggregate of390.7 mm. E tok say Pakistan meteorological service do one" reasonable" job as dem advise pipo in advance about flood tide.
And di kontri get some flood tide defence but dey fit ameliorate dem, e tok.
Pipo wit di lowest carbon vestiges na im dey suffer di most, Dr Saeed tok.
Dr Saeed say di cataracts be" absolutely a wake- up call" to goments encyclopedically wey pledge to attack climate change for consecutive UN climate conference dem.
" All of dis dey be wen di world slip warm by1.2 C- any further warming dan dat be death judgment for numerous pipo in Pakistan," e add.
