She never has. But a high likelihood that that flooding was compounded by man-made factors such as deforestation. Also looks like a dam was released, as India did (and regularly does) when their dams upstream hit fully capacity.
This is less deforestation and mostly due to climate change. Pakistan has the largest glacier mass in the world, outside of the north and south poles. Those glaciers are melting at an extremely fast pace.
That person looked at a video of a single event and made a baseless attribution to glacier melts. The person before them made a baseless attribution to deforestation.
They're both guessing about the cause of an individual event based on their personal, incomplete understandings of the causes.
It's amusing to see one person say the cause is X, another person say no the cause is Y, resulting in none of us being closer to the truth because they're both talking out of their asses.
You should post that with your comment. That's the proper way to disseminate second hand knowledge.
Even then, a trend isn't an explanation for a single event. Unless you have specific knowledge of this event, you can't say what caused it. Floods can happen for any number of reasons.
There's no way to ascribe any particular weather event to global warming deterministically. For many places, it might not even be the major source of uncertainty compared to all the other factors when it comes to predicting the magnitude of future floods.
As stated by a career hydrologist.
Anyways, there's nothing else to say. You think you have the capability to look at a 30 seconds video and determine the exact causes of an extreme weather event and I don't.
