"How climate effects the pakistani society"...?

this is a model eassy of this topic not full length eassy ofcourse


1.first introduction of about climate change

like...

Over millions of years, different climates have shaped landforms, laying down carbon deposits, feeding glaciers, sustaining rivers and producing soils. In addition, there is scarcely one aspect of society that is not affected in some way by CLIMATE CHANGE and variability. Foremost, climate provides life's essentials: heat, moisture and light. Climate influences dress, what we eat, how we feel and behave, the cost of heating or cooling our homes, and our vacation plans. By influencing market supply and demand, it can create inflation, financial crises and social unrest, sometimes global in scope. It is essential to the production of trees and crops, to the success of fisheries and the management of water resources.
Because it restricts agriculture, fisheries and forestry to specific geographical areas, climate has influenced human migration and settlement. Through DROUGHT and FLOOD, climate can destroy and debilitate life, damage property and isolate entire communities.


2. CLIMATE INFORMATION
llike

is of enormous economic worth in such activities as farming, recreation, energy and transportation, providing answers to such questions as how much should be budgeted for snow removal? Are there sufficient hours of WIND blow to sustain a wind-driven generator? Which climates are best for people suffering from asthma or arthritis? Will peaches grow in Kapuskasing or cabbages in Whitehorse? Is there enough snowfall for a successful ski resort? What impact will the effects of global warming have on sea-level rise in PEI and traditional native life in the Arctic?


3. Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

Climate affects mankind most closely in farming. Crops that are economically viable in pakistan include fruit trees, wheat and oilseeds on the prairies, corn and other farms. Only tropical and equatorial crops cannot be grown commercially. To be successful, a farmer must minimize risk from climate hazards by avoiding the risk in the first place or by protecting against the hazard when it threatens.

All agricultural areas in pakistan are subject to drought, frost, winterkill, wind, heavy precipitation, HAIL and flooding, and to climatically influenced diseases and insect infestations.

Climate and weather influences a host of farming operations, including seeding, irrigating, spraying, cultivating, harvesting and labour scheduling. Post-harvest concerns of crop storage and transportation and livestock performance are also sensitive to METEOROLOGY. Simple climate data, such as growing degree-days and drying indices, have found wide application in improving many farm management operations. Climate is no less a controlling agent in tree production. Foresters seek contemporary weather data and information in protecting against hazards such as drought, excess water, fire, frost, blow down and air pollution. The monitoring of fire-weather parameters such as soil moisture conditions of the soil and ground litter, wind speed and direction, humidity and THUNDERSTORM activity are especially crucial in FOREST FIRE prevention and control.

Longer-term climate information, both historic and projected, are eagerly sought by forest managers because meteorology affects the growth of trees at every stage from planting to harvesting, and influences forest management practices including site preparation, regeneration, thinning and fertilizing. Regeneration of forests takes decades, and to ensure future supplies of trees it is important that varieties be selected to optimize climate potential. No better example exists of the need for information on climate change and variability than in FORESTRY. After all, trees are likely to be harvested in a climate much different than the one they were planted in.


4. Water Resources
like

Precipitation is the source of all the Earth's fresh WATER and evaporation is the primary moisture input into the atmosphere. pakistan has more usable fresh water than any other country in the aisa however, the water demand is so great that climate variations are of concern to those involved in securing water supplies.

Climatologists work with hydrologists to manage effectively pakistan water resources. On the prairies, farmers anxious about water for IRRIGATION and municipal officials worried about flooding in continueal process at every decade

5.Energy Consumption

6.Building and Construction

7.Transportation

8.Other Sectors
a. like industries and many more options are others

you can add more sub points in that bulletted points

I hope you got the idea i couldnt be able to complete full easy beacuse of shorten of time, exams are two days away... :-)))
