Climate Expert Warns: Surge in Typhoons a “Serious Concern” | More Extreme Storms Ahead | APT - video Dailymotion

APT

A leading climate expert has issued a stark warning about the alarming rise in the number and intensity of typhoons across Asia. Recent storms have devastated coastal communities and caused billions in damages, with scientists linking the surge directly to climate change and rising ocean temperatures. Experts fear that without immediate global action, stronger and more frequent typhoons could become the new normal, putting millions of lives at risk. Governments are being urged to strengthen disaster preparedness, build resilient infrastructure, and reduce carbon emissions before the next wave of storms hits. Watch as the science and urgency behind this growing crisis unfold.  #Typhoon #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #BreakingNews #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #WeatherUpdate #NaturalDisaster #AsiaNews #EnvironmentNews #StormWarning #ClimateAlert

00:00Philippines gets hit by typhoons every year and has done for thousands of years.

00:27Is the number high in 21 this year? It's on the upper bounds, and it's certainly some concern.

00:37But the year's not over yet. This might not be the final one for the year.

00:41So recent events across the region show that there is an uptick in these typhoons.

01:01So it's something of serious concern. As our oceans warm and climate change has more and more

01:06impacts on our communities, this is a very clear example that these typhoons are likely to

01:11happen more in the future and more frequently, and we need to keep people as safe as possible.

01:16The Philippines is always going to be vulnerable to tropical cyclones. It sits on the western edge

01:36of the Pacific. The Pacific is warming at a rate that's unprecedented, and that warmth generates

01:43very, very strong tropical cyclones. And so it's likely that our low-lying communities in places

01:48like the Philippines are going to be affected by cyclones going forward, and it's probably going

01:54to get worse before it gets better.

02:08Typhoons take their energy from the ocean. So as our oceans warm, there's more energy there for them

02:14to draw from, and therefore they're becoming stronger in time. And so this is a concerning issue because

02:21we've got warming oceans, both in the western Pacific and the South China Sea. That means that our

02:27cyclone systems are becoming more and more intense, and their impacts are likely to be much larger.

02:51Well, the tropics of Southeast Asia is really a hotspot of climate impacts. We've got changing rainfall

02:59patterns, we've got intensifying cyclones, we've got growing populations, particularly coastal populations

03:06that are going to be at risk. And so this is really a hotbed of where the activity is in terms of natural

03:13hazards and impacts on people.

03:21If you don't mind thinking about it, what we mean?

03:24And if of course, it's a really hotbed of where it's a hotbed of where it's a hotbed.

03:25And this is what we do, we don't understand how we want to observe a small size of things.

03:29So I think that you can walk around which is a really hotbed of where it's hotbed.

03:32We're going to take a million arts, and you know,TO is going to cut a long
