Cyclone Freddy travelled from Australia to batter Madagascar, one of the most climate-vulnerable nations
The world’s fourth-largest island is suffering a drought since 2018; cyclones and also the first famine caused by climate change
The cyclone that lived longest: How Freddy broke all kinds of records
It killed 140 people across Madagascar, Mozambique & Malawi, where it caused torrential rainfall, flooding & landslides
Long live Freddy: Cyclone which travelled across Indian Ocean, has survived for 32 days courtesy climate change
Warming due to human-induced greenhouse gases is absorbed by the oceans, increasing their heat content; this helps strengthen cyclones
