My heart goes out to everyone in the path of Typhoon Dujuan — seeing satellite footage and reading that nearly two million people are being urged to evacuate is terrifying. This isn’t just an isolated weather event: scientists have been clear that a warming planet makes storms wetter, stronger and more destructive, and communities already on the margins pay the highest price. I appreciate the emergency warnings, but we need administrations to match those warnings with real support — accessible evacuation centers, language help for non-Japanese speakers, targeted assistance for the elderly, disabled and low-income households, and rapid funding for recovery. Long-term, this is a reminder that climate action is a public-safety issue: deep emissions cuts, resilient infrastructure, and fair climate finance from wealthy nations are non-negotiable. If you’re nearby, please follow official guidance, check on neighbors, and support trusted relief groups. Solidarity with everyone affected — and pressure on leaders and corporations to stop treating these disasters as “acts of God” when policy choices make them worse.
