September started with a typhoon that ripped through Hong Kong, uprooting trees and flooding the city. It was the first of a slew of extreme weather events that have hit ten countries and territories in just 12 days – the most catastrophic being the floods in Libya, which have killed more than 11,000 people according to the UN and left many thousands missing.

Four tropical cyclones in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 2015. (Photo credit: NASA/NOAA GOES Project.) Global warming will intensify landfalling tropical cyclones of a category three or higher in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, while suppressing the formation of weaker events. In Hawaiʻi, model simulations show a doubling of the risk of landfalling tropical cyclones, if CO2 concentrations double. That’s according to a study published in Malte Stuecker, assistant professor of oceanography in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology ( SOEST).
