The lives of millions of people could be saved from extreme heat waves, pollution, and intensified climate disasters if measures identified long ago were actually implemented which in practice remain on the table, at least according to a report highlighting how the global health impact of climate change could be devastating and destabilizing. This is also in anticipation of the COP30 conference to be held in Brazil in November where decisions will need to be made on which measures to take to mitigate the now uncontrollable climate warming (in 2024 for the first time, with average temperatures more than one and a half degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels). To report on a different topic but still related to nature-related issues, it should be noted that the severe hurricane "Melissa" affecting Jamaica and Cuba has been downgraded although it remains dangerous.

The category five hurricane named "Melissa," the strongest since 1851, is very close to the island of Jamaica in the Caribbean and flooding, landslides and severe damage are expected, the projected path is then towards Cuba and subsequently the Bahamas. Authorities have already set up shelters also stating that it will be difficult to withstand the strength of the powerful storm, and about fifty thousand households are already without electricity due to fallen trees on power lines and landslides, but many residents do not want to leave their homes, trying to reinforce them and prepare their crops for the hurricane's impact. Previously there were reports of three victims in Jamaica, three in Haiti, and one in the Dominican Republic.

A magnitude 4.0 earthquake with its epicenter in an area on the border between Avellino and Benevento in Campania region without any significant damage caused concern among the population which had been affected decades ago by the disastrous Irpinia earthquake, many people slept in their cars, and there is talk of schools being closed as a precaution (other tremors had been recorded earlier, one of magnitude 3.6). There is a seismic swarm due to the bradyseism phenomenon at the Phlegraean Fields near Naples, but experts declare that there would be no connection with the earthquake. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural topics the unusually high temperatures for the season reported in Sicily, in Catania it reached thirty-two Celsius degrees, and in Palermo slightly less with the Mondello beach crowded and people swimming in the sea as in summer, it is also hot in Greece with temperatures around thirty degrees.

Noting an influence on weight, blood pressure and heart rate from the use of certain antidepressants, a study (fifty-eight thousand participants and thirty antidepressants in the first eight weeks of treatment) emphasizes how these medications can have significant side effects even after just a few weeks of use; therefore, an antidepressant should be targeted to the specific characteristics of an individual, raising questions about the interchangeability of this type of medicines, but without wanting to discourage the patient from potential use and aiming for a more proper use. To report changing the subject but remaining on salutary issues a Japanese study highlighted a relationship between COVID-related "brain fog" and an unusually high number of receptors involved in neurotransmission in the central nervous system.

The tropical storm named "Melissa" caused one death and five injuries in Haiti and affected the central Caribbean Sea, including the islands of Jamaica and Hispaniola. There are reports of fallen trees and floods while the strong vortex remains offshore, but according to forecasts it could move near Jamaica and the southwest of Haiti in the coming days intensifying into a strong hurricane; then the sea is warm and the storm moves very slowly creating unfavorable effects for the areas involved. To report on a different note but still related to natural topics the complaints that have been raised by some who argue that the Data Centers built and under construction to support artificial intelligence consume too much water to cool the heat exchangers, estimated at one hundred and forty billion liters of water worldwide in 2023.

Providing news twenty-four hours in advance of possible disasters and extreme events through a surveillance system with appropriate alerts could reduce damage by over thirty percent, at least according to international organizations which emphasize that no country is immune and that climate change is pushing the planet to its limits with unstoppable ecosystem degradation. To report on a different note yet staying within the realm of technology, that some even claim to integrate artificial intelligence into every aspect of the economy, but research has shown that if one tries to verify the reliability of the responses provided by well-known applications supported by generative artificial intelligence, reliability is not guaranteed, and in fact one can also encounter a variety of mistakes and absurdities.

Damage occurred in about ten districts of France affected by a tornado, with reports of one victim and four serious injuries due to the collapse of three cranes on construction sites; the city of Ermont, twenty kilometers northeast of Paris was particularly affected. As for New Delhi the already difficult situation due to smog which often makes the air unbreathable has been worsened by the arrival of millions of people for the celebrations of a festival meant to symbolize the victory of light over darkness, but in reality the use of a large number of fireworks might demonstrate the opposite environmentally significantly increasing fine particulate matter with toxic chemical components in the air, then in theory there are less polluting alternatives to fireworks such as using LED lights and drones to simulate light effects.

Higher temperatures and flooding caused by climate change are believed to have increased areas suitable for mosquito breeding, according to a study that emphasizes how after two decades of progress in efforts to combat malaria (which is potentially fatal and impacts economies and living conditions), these gains could be undone due to limited funding for expensive prevention initiatives for growing human populations; additionally, medicines and insecticides have become less effective and global insecurity further weakens the effectiveness of interventions. In Rwanda for example mosquito breeding sites now exist even at high altitudes and the Asian Anopheles mosquito appears to have spread to Africa; then a vaccine is available but it is not very effective while awaiting a new formulation.

By permanently losing over eight million hectares of forests in 2024 alone an area roughly the size of England the planet would be sixty-three percent away from the deforestation targets set in Glasgow in 2021 by one hundred and forty countries; therefore, we are far from being able to meet the goal of reversing deforestation practices by 2030. This is mainly due to the expansion of agricultural practices, the search for mines for gold and coal extraction, forest fires, and the lack of compliance with environmental protection regulations, there are also climate change for example with prolonged droughts and diseases that weaken trees plays a role. Apparently the subsidies planned for the agricultural sector end up fueling deforestation to meet market demand that could be satisfied in other ways.

The remnants of what was Typhoon "Halong" have devastated two villages in Alaska, with reports of at least one fatality and two missing in the native community in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in the southwest of the country, nearly eight hundred kilometers from Anchorage; more than fifteen hundred people have been evacuated with the communities of Kipnuk (where a devastating situation is reported) and Kwigillingok particularly affected. According to experts the storm was fueled by the surface warming of the Pacific Ocean caused by human activities. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural themes that the tipping point for tropical coral reefs may have been surpassed, with coral mortality for example reaching new records in 2023 and showing signs of ecosystem collapse if bleaching lasts more than two years.
