"Typhoon Kalmaegi's Fury: Climate Change Fuels Southeast Asia's Disasters"
Typhoon Kalmaegi has devastated the Philippines, causing 188 fatalities, as scientists attribute such extreme weather events to escalating climate change and rising sea surface temperature.
- Typhoon Kalmaegi struck the Philippines earlier this week, resulting in at least 188 deaths and extensive damage to communities in Talisay, Cebu.
- The powerful typhoon has now moved towards Vietnam, raising alarms about the increasing frequency of such disasters linked to climate change.
- Experts emphasize that rising sea surface temperature due to greenhouse gas emissions is contributing to the intensity of tropical cyclones like Typhoon Kalmaegi.
Why It Matters
The increasing severity of typhoons such as Kalmaegi underscores the urgent reality of climate change, highlighting the need for global action to mitigate rising greenhouse gas emissions and protect vulnerable regions.
