Pakistan: Global warming 'alarm bell for humanity'

At this year's U.N. climate meeting, the prime minister of Pakistan told that it "rings an alarm bell for humanity" in a world being hit faster and harder by the impacts of global warming.

Muhammad Sharif, Pakistan's Prime Minister said "This COP rings an alarm bell for humanity. It is the only platform where the survival of the human race as a goal still holds promise. "An estimate of damage and loss has exceeded 30 billion dollars, and this all happened despite our very low carbon footprints. And yet we became a victim of something with which we had nothing to do. And of course, it was a man-made disaster."

Sharif called for additional financial support for his country and others suffering from the effects of climate change, saying any money to help Pakistan rebuild after the floods should be on top of other aid and not come in the form of loans.
