A bone-chilling winter’s morning is enough to put off voters in Bekkersdal, a community of 47 000 west of Johannesburg. Sleep was hard the night before. The singing of protesters built up to the petrol-bombing of three tented voting stations. The response was the throaty roar of engines of heavily armoured police and army vehicles. There is much grumbling and rubbing of bleary, red eyes in the morning queues.

“At climate talks, Africa is on its own. It’s time to act like it.”That was the front cover of The Continent a year ago, as climate negotiations rolled into Egypt. The year since then has been the hottest in recorded history. And that’s after 1°C of heating. The United Nations predicts up to 2.7°C of heating by 2100.

The Libyan town of Derna is on the coast, at the end of a valley with a seasonal river. Because flooding has damaged the city before, two dams were built to contain the river. September’s rainfall is usually 1.5mm. On Sunday, 10 September, 400mm fell in one day. One dam cracked and a three-metre wall of water tore through the concrete. So far, more than 11 000 people are confirmed dead. The World Meteorological Association says the number would be much lower if people had been warned.
