July 30 (Reuters) - Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell said on Tuesday that early estimates suggest that losses from deadly Hurricane Beryl, which hit the Caribbean earlier this month, likely total as much as a third of economic output.

    What a prime example of how climate disasters will not be equal or evenly distributed.

    A nation that puts out less than 3 tonnes of CO2 emissions per capita gets devastated while the powers that be in a nation outputting five times the emissions per capita sit and twiddle their thumbs, parroting whataboutisms.

    I have a cousin in Grenada. Her area is fine, but some of the devastation she’s shown has been absolutely horrific.

    The island that was worst hit is called Carriacou.

        All the photos she shares of Grenada show a really beautiful place to live. Apart from the hurricanes, I do envy her.

        That said, she has a house on the beach, so I’m guessing that house won’t be there in a few years.
