Here we go with the conspiracy theories again
and always without a shred of evidence to support them. Is your opposition to the US so irrational that you will accept any piece of science fiction that paints the US as the all-powerful villain, despite all evidence to the contrary? Why would a country that has just donated 55 million dollars along with food supplies, water purification systems and storage containers, advance zodiac rescue boats, pre fabricated bridges, helicopters and manpower to help the flood victims create this massive disaster? If you had taken a moment to look at what the Meteorologists have said about the weather pattern in the area you would understand that these monsoon rains are a natural occurrence. It has always rained seasonally in the region, but this year the monsoon rains were severe and unstoppable. Again, why would you reject all of this information, based on science, in favor of conspiracy theory nonsense you read on the internet, without scrutinizing the source?
Michael Marshall reports in the New Scientist that this has been due to static jet stream freezes in place the weather systems that sit inside the peaks and troughs of its meanders. Warm air to the south of the jet stream gets sucked north into the "peaks". The "troughs" on the other hand, draw in cold, low-pressure air from the north. Normally, these systems are constantly on the move but not during a blocking event. And so it was that Pakistan fell victim to ******** of rain. The blocking event coincided with the summer monsoon, bringing down additional rain on the mountains to the north of the country.
Let us not get carried away with conspiracy theories and get bogged down in a pointless discussion. There is a dire need to help the victims of the worst flooding since the 1920s (I guess no one had blamed HAARP then!) The US is doing whatever it can to help the victims. We have raised the donation amount from 35 million dollars to 55 million USD. Our helicopters are (as weather permits) running non-stop rescue missions; transferring flood effected people to safer grounds while transferring provision for the standard victims. Instead of spreading rumors it is time everyone should put in a hand in the relief efforts leaving the conspiracy theories behind!
