red. Rewind 2023: Climate Change Disasters have continued this year as capitalism has continued to let the planet burn, and thousands of people die from the impact of climate change, particularly in the Global South. Meanwhile, the talking shop for the rich jet-setting elite COP28 was held in one of the worst polluters in the world, the United Arab Emirates.
Europe recorded its highest-ever April temperatures during a heatwave as temperatures hit 38C in Spain. In May, 463 people were killed by Storm Mocha in Myanmar, while hundreds of people were killed in floods in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. During the spring, 16 people were killed in the Turkish provinces of Adiyaman and Sanliurfa in flash floods that turned streets into rivers a month after the region experienced a devastating earthquake.
The year began with Storm Mara in the US, a deadly ice storm that hit Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee from January 31 to February 2, killing 10 people and leading to 500,000 power outages. Similarly, Cyclone Freddy devastated Africa for five weeks in February and March, having formed over the Indian Ocean. It made landfall in Madagascar and Mozambique, killing at least 238 people.
During the summer, the Mediteran region was engulfed in forest fires during another record heatwave. Greece was the country that suffered the most, with 80 wildfires that killed 28 people and injured 75 as temperatures reached 45 C. Deadly fires in Hawaii in August killed 106 people.
Flash floods hit Greece, Bulgaria, and Türkiye in early September. In Greece, there were at least 17 deaths and damage of €2.5 billion, while a state of emergency was declared in Bulgaria, and 12 people were swept away in Türkiye. Over 300 people have also been killed in floods in East Africa, displacing over 1 million people in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.
