Karachi could submerge by 2060 due to global warming

Pakistan's largest city and financial capital Karachi could submerge into the sea by 2060 due to global warming, a top oceanographer has warned lawmakers amid reports of escalating threat of sea intrusion along the coasts of Balochistan and Sindh provinces.
Some parts of Karachi's Malir area have already gone under water while Sindh's Thatta and Badin districts will also
sink into the water by 2050," Asif Inam, director general of the National Institute of Oceanography has briefed the Senate
Standing Committee on Science and Technology yesterday.
As some coastal parts of Sindh province's Thatta and Badin districts could submerge by 2050, there are apprehensions that
entire Karachi city could go under water by 2060.
