Unequal Effects of Climate Change in Maggie Gee’s The Flood

Öz

The Flood is generally labelled as a post-apocalyptic dystopia and a social and political satire due to the realistic details that connect it to the agenda of the days it was written and the deteriorating environmental conditions that can be related to global warming and climate change. There are direct references to the extreme weather conditions like excessive precipitation, flash flooding and droughts that have been seen more frequently both in England and in many other regions of the world. Excessive rainfall causes permanent floods in low-lying areas of the city. This situation creates a great problem especially for economically disadvantaged social classes. Besides, because of the floods, schools are closed in most places, but the children of the well-off families are not deprived of education opportunity even under these conditions. This situation evokes inequalities during the Covid-19 when schools are closed for face-to-face education in many parts of the world. The Flood provides examples for the negative impacts of inequality of income distribution both local and international levels, and at the same time conveys a strong message that the climate crisis is a global problem and whether rich or poor all humans share the same planet.
