BANGKOK, Thailand — Climate change turbocharged the winds and rain of Typhoon Gaemi , called Carina in the Philippines, which killed dozens of people in parts of Asia last month, a group of scientists said Thursday. Gaemi skirted the Philippines in July, triggering floods and landslides that killed at least 40 people, before making landfall in Taiwan and China.In China, the weather system caused torrential downpours that killed 50 people and prompted authorities to evacuate 300,000.
And the group's modelling found this warming has already increased the number of similarly strong storms by 30 percent -- up from around five a year to six or seven."This study confirms what we've expected –- hotter seas and atmospheres are giving rise to more powerful, longer-lived and deadlier typhoons," said Ralf Toumi, director of the Grantham Institute-Climate Change and the Environment, at Imperial College London.
