Super Typhoon Goni made landfall in the Philippines on November 1 with sustained winds of 195 mph, making it the strongest landfalling tropical cyclone on record. Climate change is increasing the likelihood of more intense and destructive storms like Goni. As the world warms, the risk of strong typhoons (also called hurricanes and tropical cyclones, depending on the basin of origin) is increasing because warmer water provide storms with more energy.
