SHOCKING Natural Disasters Caught On Camera In 2023 So Far

SHOCKING Natural Disasters Caught On Camera In 2023 So Far
By the halfway point of 2023, climate change was already in full swing, with catastrophic weather events making news and claiming lives and livelihoods all across the world.

We’ve already witnessed extreme weather events that confirm what we all already know to be true: climate change is occurring right now. These events include a record-breaking cyclone in south-eastern Africa, wildfires in Chile and Canada, intolerable heatwaves across Asia, strong ice storms in the southern United States, and more.

Likewise things are predicted to get worse. According to the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was published in March, the globe could experience a 1.5°C temperature increase by the start of the 2030s if we continue to act collectively inaction against the climate catastrophe. As a result, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather occurrences would rise.

In other words, the situation is not good and we must act now to combat climate change if we want to avert the forecasts. That entails taking individual action in our own lives to lessen our own carbon footprints, but more importantly, it entails urging world leaders and business leaders to heed the science and implement the urgent, widespread, and ambitious reform required to fight climate change. This includes cutting carbon emissions, ensuring a just transition to clean energy, and making sure the most climate-vulnerable nations can withstand increasingly frequent natural disasters.

Here are some facts on how severe the extreme weather has been so far this year, illustrating the necessity of taking climate action in 2023.

Japan, Guam, the Philippines, Taiwan: Tropical Storm Mawar

At the end of May and the beginning of June, Guam, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Japan were all impacted by the “unusually intense” Typhoon (or tropical storm) Mawar.

The effects of Mawar, which was reported as the strongest tropical storm ever recorded in the northern hemisphere in May 2023 and the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded globally, are still being felt throughout the region. Mawar is expected to be directly responsible for torrential rains, floods, and mudslides.

“The Philippines is in a constant state of climate emergency,” said Jefferson Chua of Greenpeace Philippines. “Super typhoons have become our new normal, along with longer-term impacts like drought, sea level rise, and resource depletion.”

Canada: Wildfires

Early in June, wildfires in Canada were making headlines everywhere, and as a result, much of North America was also covered in smoke and air pollution.

Al Jazeera reports that the effects of the fires can be seen as far away as Norway while thousands of people in Canada have been forced out of their homes. Al Jazeera reports that Canada is witnessing its worst ever start to the wildfire season — partly due to an unusually dry period followed by a heatwave.

As of June 9, there were still 427 active wildfires, 232 of which were out of control, indicating that the fires have not yet been put out.

Myanmar: Cyclone Mocha

Cyclone Mocha, which struck Myanmar’s Rakhine State in the middle of May, was one of the most powerful storms to ever strike the area. An estimated 145 people were killed by the storm, which also caused extensive damage to infrastructure, houses, businesses, and schools by causing severe rainfall, flash floods, and landslides. The typhoon affected 800,000 people altogether, according to the UN.

With 80% of schools apparently suffering damage, the storm has also had an impact on the nation’s educational system, delaying the start of the new school year that was scheduled to begin around the time the storm hit.

Italy: Floods

Late in May, the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy saw severe rains that caused landslides and floods that resulted in the deaths of at least 15 people and the displacement of 40,000 more. Farmlands and important infrastructure were destroyed as a result of the flooding, which occurred after the area experienced significant rainfall in the previous few months.
