Pakistan underwater: Blame climate change

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: Pakistan can't catch a break: their economy is in free fall, given huge mismanagement internally, a lot of corruption, and getting hit by inflation and global supply chain challenges. On top of that, Pakistan is experiencing massive political instability, given the ouster of the former prime minister. Big demonstrations across the country, especially now that Imran Khan is facing potential incarceration from the court, which has claimed that he has made statements that amount to a promotion of terrorism. It's a massively divided country. And now more than 1000 are dead and over 10 million Pakistanis displaced from unprecedented levels of flooding.
