Bangladesh says Cyclone Remal that carved a swath of destruction was one of the quickest-forming and longest-lasting they'd experienced, blaming climate change for the shift. Cyclone Remal, which made landfall in low-lying Bangladesh and neighbouring India on Sunday evening with fierce gales and crashing waves, left at least 65 people dead, destroyed thousands of homes, smashed seawalls and flooded cities across the two countries. Cyclones have killed hundreds of thousands of people in Bangladesh in recent decades, and the number of superstorms hitting its densely populated coast has increased sharply, from one a year to as many as three, due to the impact of climate change. Is climate change turbocharging cyclones in the region? Palki Sharma tells you.
