Jamaica remains in a state of emergency after being battered by Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest Atlantic cyclones in history. The Category 5 storm slammed into Jamaica on Tuesday with 185-mile-per-hour winds, and the extent of the damage is not yet known because communication remains limited. Mikaela Loach, a Jamaican British climate justice activist, says the hurricane was caused by the climate crisis," and says fossil fuel companies are to blame. It's important to direct that anger towards people who are responsible," Loach says, suggesting that hurricanes be named after oil executives.
