Kasabi Papi Ulloo Mian (allumni) Wordy G and Baki Kasabi Papi Gs,
Already Kasabi Papiland is in 800' deep shit of Arabi belly dancer. A serious question:
When you are so stuck deep, with close to 100% addicted to Arabi ganja and have destroyed Papiland, then why do you guys dream of capturing Lal Quilla by gazwa-e-hind?

At 8 feet below sea level, Pakistan's financial capital Karachi shows up on the list of world's mega-cities threatened by global warming. Other South Asian cities likely to come under rising sea water in the next 100 years include Mumbai, Kolkata and Dhaka.
The rapid melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas would also cause floods followed by water scarcity that, coupled with hotter temps, could lead to crop failures and potential famines and wars.
So the global warming issue is important for Pakistan's future. But currently 40% of the Pakistani households have yet to receive electricity, and only 18% of the households that have access to pipeline gas. So Pakistanis have a long way to go in terms of generating sufficient energy for the growing population. But it's important for Pakistan to seriously pursue renewable sources such as wind and solar...especially in view of the fact that Pakistan is an exceptionally sunny country and Pakistan is fortunate to have something many other countries do not, which are high wind speeds near major centers. Near Islamabad, the wind speed is anywhere from 6.2 to 7.4 meters per second (between 13.8 and 16.5 miles per hour). Near Karachi, the range is between 6.2 and 6.9 (between 13.8 and 15.4 miles per hour).

zafir a thought provoking article - most of it is a review of what is being spewed out by the Nobel winning team.
A few questions to you (since you have studied this topic and thought about it):
(a) In the gases emitted by the developing world - which is enormous - has there been any work which factors in the gases emitted on behalf of the west?
(b) How is the new race for NPower going to change this equation?
