While the global elite is debating climate change at COP28 in the United Arab Emirates, African countries face the devastating impact of the El Niño weather phenomena. Flash floods in East Africa have displaced more than a million people in Somalia, leaving hundreds dead. Last month, Kenya was hit by deadly flooding, which killed dozens of people, destroying farmland and forcing at least 4,000 families to leave their homes.
Once again, we’re seeing how the Global North fails to take responsibility for climate change as the Global South suffers its consequences. Single-handedly, the Global North is responsible for 92% of excess global carbon emissions, a study done by Lancet Planetary Health revealed.
El Niño is a naturally occurring weather pattern originating in the Pacific Ocean, leading to increasingly warm conditions worldwide, heavy rain in some areas, and droughts in others. According to scientists, the impact of EL Niño is exacerbated by climate change.
