As the earliest Category 5 storm ever observed in the Atlantic carves a
path of destruction through the Caribbean, we get an update on damage
from Hurricane Beryl from the prime minister of St. Vincent and the
Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, where the storm hit Tuesday. He describes
the disaster scenes he witnessed and discusses the rising challenge of
extreme weather fueled by the climate crisis. “The developed countries,
the major emitters, are not taking this matter seriously,” says
Gonsalves. He says the world must dramatically reduce emissions and that
the current political and economic system is “driving all of us
towards, if not extinction, to a terrible, inhospitable place called
Earth.”
