Scientists Confirm Climate Change Intensified Typhoon Gaemi

The deadly storm caused significant destruction across the Philippines, Taiwan, and China, with its severity linked to rising global temperatures.

  • Typhoon Gaemi resulted in over 100 deaths and widespread damage in East Asia.
  • Researchers found the storm's wind speeds were 7% stronger and rainfall up to 14% heavier due to climate change.
  • Warm ocean temperatures, driven by fossil fuel emissions, provided additional energy for the typhoon.
  • The study highlights the need for improved urban flood management and better storm impact warnings.
  • Experts warn that without reducing fossil fuel use, such extreme weather events will become more common.
