Super Typhoon Goni Kills at Least 16, Displaces 1 Million People in Philippines
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Philippines, at least 16 people died and 1 million were evacuated
as Super Typhoon Goni, the world's strongest typhoon this year, ripped
through the island of Luzon Sunday. Goni is the 18th typhoon to hit the
Philippines in 2020. 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.
