Typhoon Kalmaegi, the year’s deadliest storm, struck Vietnam after killing at least 188 people in the Philippines, leaving widespread destruction and at least five more deaths. Scientists warn that such extreme storms are becoming more frequent and intense due to rising global temperatures and warmer sea surfaces linked to climate change.
The disaster coincides with global climate talks in Belém, Brazil, where researchers emphasize that unchecked greenhouse gas emissions are fueling stronger, wetter storms like Kalmaegi, highlighting the growing risks of climate inaction.
