Note on the list below that only #10 Haiyan occurred in the last 40 years and the death toll of the top ones was over 10 times higher than for Haiyan.
Climate change has not made typhoons stronger.

Other lists from different sources rank these storms a bit differently but note here too, the absence of recent hurricanes/typhoons increasing or dominating from climate change.
"Notice, this does *not* mean that there is no global warming or that possibly a climate signal could eventually lead to further deaths. Instead, it shows that our increased wealth and adaptive capacity has vastly outdone any negative impact from climate when it comes to human climate vulnerability.
Notice that the reduction in absolute deaths has happened while the global population has increased four-fold. The individual risk of dying from climate-related disasters has declined by 98.9%. Last year, fewer people died in climate disasters than at any point in the last three decades (1986 was a similarly fortunate year).
Somewhat surprisingly, while climate-related deaths have been declining strongly for 70 years, non-climate deaths have not seen a similar decline, and should probably get more of our attention."
