Climate Change

The current news highlights the increasing severity and frequency of extreme weather events, such as Typhoon Ragasa, which has been significantly worsened by climate change. This is compounded by the ongoing challenges in accurately predicting climate phenomena like ENSO, which affects global weather patterns. Additionally, the news underscores the systemic issues in climate policy and adaptation, such as the inadequacy of carbon credits and the need for legal obligations to reduce pollution. The combination of these factors indicates a high risk of both near-term disasters and long-term planetary impacts, including ecosystem collapse and increased human health risks.
