We often focus on doomsday scenarios, but we shouldn’t let them distract us from other consequences of climate change like impaired learning, crime, suicide — even slipping off ladders.

Heat waves are America’s deadliest weather events. It’s time we name them.

The storm has killed at least 13 people in the Philippines and is forecast to be the strongest to hit Hainan Province in a decade.

Hundreds of people were forced to leave their homes in a mountainous part of Sichuan Province. An expressway bridge collapsed amid heavy rains.

The storm has already left a trail of destruction in Taiwan and the Philippines, where it killed at least 15 people.

The storm, weaker but still dangerous, made landfall just before 8 p.m. local time. Six sailors were still missing after a cargo ship sank near Taiwan.

Typhoon Gaemi made landfall on the island with Category 3 winds Wednesday night after killing at least six people in the region.

It was the second such rain-related disaster in less than three months, as extreme weather challenges the country’s extensive network of newly built expressways.

The city of Meizhou reported a “once-in-a-century” flood, with at least 38 people dying in one county alone.
