Manila, November 2 (RHC)-- In the Philippines, at least 16 people died and one million were evacuated as Super Typhoon Goni, the world’s strongest typhoon this year, ripped through the island of Luzon Sunday.
Typhoon Goni is the 18th typhoon to hit the Philippines this year. Climate change is causing more intense and more frequent tropical storms in the Philippines, with mass deforestation, mining and intensive farming further compounding the deadly effects of extreme weather.
