The Spin

Narrative A

Pakistan is responsible for less than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions but is one of the most vulnerable countries to the extreme weather caused by global heating. More needs to be done to mitigate the harmful impacts of climate change before it is too late.

Guardian

Narrative B

While climate change may be a factor in increased rainfall in Pakistan, it is not the only issue. Local authorities are also to blame for not preparing their communities through infrastructure projects and education. Disasters occur when hazards like monsoons meet vulnerability. Poorly planned urbanization and the high number of people living near riverbanks have just made a bad situation worse.
