From VOA Learning English, this is In the News.
The Philippine government is defending its efforts to getassistance to victims of Typhoon Haiyan. Many havereceived little or no assistance since the storm struck aweek ago. Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said Friday in the city of Tacloban that the need is massive,immediate and not everyone can be reached.
The aircraft carrier USS George Washington and otherUS Navy ships arrived in the Philippines this week tohelp with disaster relief operations. The ships broughthelicopters and emergency aid.
The Navy is deploying the helicopters to inspectdamage from Typhoon Haiyan. The aircraft are alsobeing used to transport supplies to affected communities. The aircraft carrieralso has medical services and can produce 1.5 million liters of fresh water aday.
The storm displaced hundreds of thousands of people. The country's chief ofdisaster relief said Friday that at least 3,600 people are known to have died.
The amount of food and other aid sent to the Philippines has increased inrecent days. But moving the aid from airports or other areas has been a slowprocess, in part because wreckage blocks many roads.
Scientists say Typhoon Haiyan was one of the strongest storms on recordever to hit land. Some people wonder whether man-made climate changeplayed a part in the typhoon. Bob Ward is with the Grantham ResearchInstitute on Climate Change at the London School of Economics.
“There’s certainly strong circumstantial evidence because we know that thestrength of tropical cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, depends very much onsea surface temperatures. They act as the fuel. And we’ve got very warmwaters in the Pacific at the moment, which have been increasing because ofclimate change, and those very warm waters are what powered thistyphoon.”
Bob Ward says the intensity of storms seems to be increasing.
“Our models are not very clear at the moment. But we might expect in thefuture that we might even see fewer, but those that do occur will be muchstronger than we’re experiencing now.”
Benedict Dempsey is with the aid group Save the Children. He says detailedweather predictions meant that some aid workers were already in place whenthe storm hit.
“Half a dozen people went into the path of the storm in order to be prepared for the response in Tacloban and elsewhere in the Philippines.”
He says aid agencies are learning to prepare for natural disasters of this kind.
“Between around 2002 and 2011, on average over 260 million people a yearare being affected by disasters. And so we’re seeing the reality of these trendsacting out on the ground, and it’s absolutely something that we’re having toprepare to respond to in the future.”
Benny Peiser is director of the Global Warming Policy Foundation. His groupquestions whether human activities are to blame for rising temperatures. Hesays people should be concerned about disaster preparation instead of cuttinggases linked to climate change.
“This was the 20^th tropical storm to have hit the Philippines this year. So this is going to continue no matter what we decide on CO2, these storms willcontinue.”
Climate change talks are taking place in Warsaw, Poland. At the talks, thePhilippine representative appealed for an agreement to cut industrial gaseslike carbon dioxide. Scientist Bob Ward says the delegates should pay closeattention.
“I think this typhoon will focus minds very much on the fact that if we squabbleand delay in getting an agreement, we’re going to see more and more of thesekind of events with very, very severe human costs.”
But observers at the Warsaw talks say a deal on cutting greenhouse gasesstill appears to be far away.
