It’s hurricane season and this past weekend was a rough one. On Friday morning the U.S. was hit by storm Florence, a hurricane weakened to a tropical depression. Florence slammed North Carolina and South Carolina but the worst part will be the flooding.

On Saturday, Typhoon Mangkhut made its debut in the Philippines before reaching Hong Kong and finally, Guangdong, China, where it crashed into the coast with up to 160 km/h winds.

Mangkhut is considered the strongest storm of 2018 but it's only the beginning. These storms, exacerbated by climate change, will continue to get stronger. Let’s be clear, hurricanes and typhoons are not caused by climate change. But they are more severe because of it.
