  1. Typhoon Haiyan

  2. Overview Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is the second-deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 3,976 people in that country alone. The thirtieth named storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers east-southeast of Pohnpei in the Federated States ofMicronesia on November 2.

  3. Typhoon Haiyan & Climate Change The disaster has highlighted the debate about climate change. During the 2013 United Nations Climate Change Conference which was coincidentally held concurrent with the typhoon.

  4. This even has strengthened the argument that climate change is a fact because climate change is known to lead to extreme weather such as this. Obviously climate deniers and religious people will make things up arguing that this is irrelevant to climate change but the harsh truth is that if climate change continues more extreme weather such as this will continue and more lives will be lost.
