A new study shows that climate change affects tropical cyclones (also known as typhoons) in the Western North Pacific (WNP) in an uneven way. Scientists used a powerful climate model to simulate what happens when CO2 levels go up and then down.
The study discovered that when CO2 levels decreased, fewer typhoons formed over the Philippine Sea. This resulted in fewer typhoons hitting East Asia. This is because of changes in the overall weather patterns caused by the ocean's temperature changes.
These findings show that climate change can cause complicated and unpredictable changes in weather. This research is important for understanding and predicting how tropical cyclones will change in the WNP region in the future.
