The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that warming oceans could lead to the intensification of tropical cyclones. in a warmer climate, the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events become stronger and more frequent. their impact on the Asian monsoon could lead to high inter-annual variation in rainfall characteristics.
Tropical cyclones could become more intense. when combined with sea level rise, this would result in an enhanced risk of loss of life and property in coastal low-lying areas in cyclone prone regions.
Damages to livelihood and propetry can affect millions of already poor people and stress government resources necessary to help those in need.
