Typhoon Yagi triggered deadly landslides and floods, and on Monday the Vietnamese authorities warned of further possible flooding.

Before reaching Vietnam at the weekend, Yagi tore through southern China and the Philippines, killing at least two dozen people and injuring many more. Typhoons in the region are now forming closer to the coast, intensifying more rapidly and staying over land for longer because of the climate crisis, according to a study published in July

  1. Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply.
    Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat, snow storms and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire.
    India, China, Brazil, Japan, US, Europe, Indonesia, Canada, Germany and Australia need to do more to reduce use of fossil fuels. They must stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants.
    Time to go all in on wind and solar energy, battery storage and electric vehicles.
    Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet.
    Investors are divesting from fossil fuels. wind and solar energy investing is growing.
    The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
    The world population is expected to grow by another billion people. Where will the food come from ?

  2. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale uses a 1 to 5 rating system to measure a hurricane's sustained wind speeds. Category 1: Winds of 74–95 miles per hour (mph). These hurricanes can cause minimal damage to buildings, such as roof shingles, vinyl siding, and gutters. The typhoon hit Vietnam “…with wind speeds of up to 92mph reported…”

  3. The Guardian newspaper has loads of millions in the bank and should not be asking poor people for money when they are rooling in millions of pounds in the company.

  4. North Viet Nam sometimes has storm but never for Typhoon. Typhoon is horrible but its big rain is more horrible than itself. Central Viet Nam often has storms ,big rain & flood from Oct to Dec in monsoon (rainy season).😢

  5. Just for perspective, Vietnam gets storms like this every year. Apparently it has been 30 years or so since one has made landfall in Northern Vietnam, so this was long-overdue. Weather is and always has been wild and hard to predict (I'm not talking about the 5-day forecast). I doubt there was ever a time in history without devastating weather events. Weather's gonna weather But with every major storm that comes along anywhere in the world, the news will do its best to convince you that it's some sort of unprecedented event. Whilst it is important to be respectful of those who may have lost their lives, the way this video has been titled is blatant fearmongering. In Vietnam, winds in excess of 92mph according to some reports. Okay so not especially "powerful" for a typhoon. And I sincerely doubt the guardian went out of their way to verify that every one of those "dozens" of people who died, did so purely due to the storm. Despite what such news outlets often claim, they don't care one bit about accurate reporting. They care about generating fear and alarm in order to sell the cc agenda to an overly-trusting public.
