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
03:47You
