00:00the Philippines gets hit by typhoons every year and has done for thousands of years
00:15is the number high in 21 this year it's on the upper bounds and it's it's certainly
00:23some concern but you know the year's not over yet this might not be the final one for the year
00:29recent events across the region showed that there is an uptick in these typhoons so it's
00:35something of serious concern as our oceans warm and climate change has more and more impacts on
00:40our communities this is a very clear example that you know these typhoons are likely to happen more
00:46in the future and more frequently and we need to keep people as safe as possible the Philippines
00:51is always going to be vulnerable to tropical cyclones so it sits on the western edge of the
00:56pacific the pacific is warming at a rate that's unprecedented and that warmth generates very very
01:03strong tropical cyclones and so it's likely that our low-lying communities in places like the
01:08Philippines are going to be affected by cyclones going forward and it's probably going to get
01:14worse before it gets better typhoons take their energy from the ocean so as our oceans warm there's
01:20more energy there for them to draw from and therefore they're becoming stronger in time and so this is a
01:27concerning issue because we've got warming oceans both in the western pacific and the south china sea
01:33that means that our cyclone systems are becoming more and more intense and their impacts are likely to
01:39be much larger well the tropics of southeast asia is really a hot spot of climate impacts we've got
01:45changing rainfall patterns we've got intensifying cyclones we've got growing populations particularly
01:51coastal populations that are going to be at risk and so this is really a hotbed of where the activity
01:58is in terms of natural hazards
02:28we're going to be getting better and we've got Advent prototyли to give to people who very seriously
02:33.
