ET, thank you for not letting us forget the poor of Pakistan suffering from the terrible effects of climate change. Neither those countries releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases responsible for droughts and worse, or the government of Sindh have any empathy towards these people. One would think medicine, food, drinking water and shelter would be provided given the horrific tragedy that is taking place.
