2022: Climate change, Politics and Qatar’s World Cup (II)

In August, Pakistan experienced its heaviest rainfall since the country began keeping detailed national weather records in 1961. The provinces that were hardest hit by floods received up to eight times more rain than usual. UN chief António Guterres called it a climate catastrophe. Pakistan has also had political and economic problems this year. Imran Khan lost a no-confidence vote in parliament in April and was wounded in a failed assassination attempt in November.

This year has seen many upsets in the world, including the protests in Iran and the changes in Twitter. FIFA's president called the 2022 World Cup in Qatar an incredible success. The first such tournament hosted by an Arab and Muslim country was a symbolic and diplomatic success for its host country. The World cup was also a success on all fronts. It was hosted in a very symbolic way by Qatar. In late October, Billonaire Elon Musk bought Twitter from him. He made many changes to the company since taking charge. Musk has said he will step down from the CEO post once he finds a replacement.
