Super Typhoon Mawar threatens Guam with deadly winds and storm surge due to climate change.
TL;DR Summary
Super Typhoon Mawar, which is approaching Guam, has rapidly gained strength due to warmer ocean waters caused by climate change. Rapid intensification of storms is becoming more common, making them more dangerous as there is less time to warn people. Climate change also makes storm surge and inland flooding more severe, with Guam and the Mariana Islands being particularly vulnerable due to rising seas.
