Earthquake without damage in New York
An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 followed by a series of minor tremors including one quantifiable of magnitude 4.0 shook the metropolis of New York without causing damage and only some limited inconvenience, for example with temporary interruptions in activities and delays in air flights for checks. The epicenter was identified about seventy-two kilometers west of New York in New Jersey or eighty kilometers north of Philadelphia and the earthquake was clearly felt in Washington D.C. and in a wide radius although according to experts the area is not very seismic and the tremors rarely exceed magnitude five, once in the 800s and twice in the 700s. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that an anticyclone of African origin is reaching anomalous temperatures in Italy with zero temperatures in the Alps above four thousand meters.

Biosecurity measures for H5N1 bird flu in U.S.
Confirmation that a dangerous strain of H5N1 avian influenza is circulating among livestock in some U.S. states has forced health authorities to promote biosecurity measures for farmers to try to monitor the so-called "high alert" situation; in fact, the question is whether cows are getting infected what the next species leap could be. The possibility that after cows and pigs it could be the turn of humans with a variant that adapts to infect human organisms could only be a matter of time, so surveillance should be increased. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on health issues the recent appeal in Italy to prevent a decrease in funding to support the entire sector related to the health of citizens which lately finds itself with increasingly scarce resources and personnel.

Search for trapped people in Taiwan
Rescuers are said to be rescuing more than one hundred and twenty-seven people trapped in road tunnels obstructed by the strong 7.4 magnitude earthquake that shook areas east on the coast of the island of Taiwan, in Hualien county, the epicenter of the earthquake, there is also talk of seventy miners trapped in two mines. Tent cities have been set up to house people left homeless, nine dead and over a thousand injured while are still digging under the collapsed buildings in search of any missing people. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 recorded in northeastern Japan in the Fukushima region without damage, then a flood in Ohio in the United States near Pittsburg with houses and fields partially submerged although with fairly limited damage.

An earthquake shakes Taiwan
A 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck Taiwan with its epicenter about one hundred and fifty kilometers south of Taipei, the strongest in twenty-five years and which caused buildings to sway conspicuously from the foundations with tsunami alert to the Philippines then returned, there is talk of nine victims and over nine hundred injured while rescue teams search for any missing under the buildings collapsed. The supply of electricity was lacking in various parts of the capital Taipei where a strong aftershock was also felt with at least twenty-five other minor tremors, some speak of five strong tremors of magnitude around five that followed the initial one. Inspections of railway lines caused delays and staff at some companies were evacuated as a precaution [..microchip production suspended] although in most cases no particular damage was reported [.. then to report seventy miners trapped, bridges collapsed and roads unusable].

Wave of bad weather in the North of Italy
Heavy rainfall and snowfall in the mountains affected the northern regions of Italy, several the isolated locations and in particular the tourist resort of Livigno in Trentino Alto Adige where an avalanche swept away some high-voltage pylons leaving it temporarily in the dark; then a whirlwind in the province of Varese and high water in Venice. The avalanche danger is high (for example there are three victims and one injured in Switzerland near Zermatt on the border with Italy) with snow cover that has yet to stabilize. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the desert sand that is reaching the Alps with grains that can be mixed with pollen, bacteria and fungi and some argue that it is advisable to protect vulnerable people by adequately protecting the respiratory system.

Instability linked to climate change
Extreme weather events with prolonged periods of drought followed by intense storms, often uncontrollable fires, strong cyclonic vortices, floods, rising seas with consequent erosion of the coasts cause instability that tend to raise the cost of living as well as making the planet generally less livable; for example, some point out that the cost of some foods such as oil, cocoa, rice has increased significantly and the cost of some services has also increased due to climate change, then there are difficulties in transport and connections. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report the series of hydrometeorological disasters that have recently affected the island of Java in Indonesia, there are dozens of victims with thousands of people forced to abandon their homes sometimes overwhelmed by landslides and floods.

Methane leaking from United States landfills
More than half of the landfills in the United States would be "super-emitters" of methane and of these in about sixty percent of cases excessive emissions last for months or even years, unlike the super-emitters of the fossil fuel sector which in addition to being in a small percentage, have short-lived spills; at least according to aerial and satellite observations which show that landfills are the third cause of emissions into the atmosphere of this powerful greenhouse gas. We could control leaks and store methane to combat climate change as well as being an opportunity to use this gas for useful purposes, then should try to reduce the amount of methane produced by landfills with regulations that can control their activities and related procedures without forgetting not to waste food.

Plan to promote the bioeconomy in the Amazon
The French and Brazilian authorities are said to be willing to finance a public and private investment plan to promote the bioeconomy in the Amazon over four years and stem the environmental destruction caused by the unmitigated deforestation of a species of lung of the planet; in fact, it is the largest tropical forest in the world that absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide produced by human activities thus mitigating climate change. The situation is currently critical because drought and wind fuels fires often arson and forests suffer from an initial fire season defined as unprecedented, particularly affected large areas in the north with record fires in February and over nine hundred and forty hectares of forests burned in Brazil in January, three times the damage monitored last year in this month.

Fires fueled by strong winds in Mexico
A series of fires is devouring the vegetation of almost half of the states of Mexico affected by periods of prolonged drought, there is talk of ninety-five active forest fires in eighteen states fueled by strong gusts of wind that also threaten the protected nature reserves of Morelos and Veracruz. As often happens in these cases fires are difficult to control and the flames advance quickly finding rather dry vegetation. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report a tornado in Italy that with gusts of wind up to one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour would have caused significant damage to the Trapani airport in Sicily as well as uprooting trees, then the recent earthquake of magnitude 6.9 that recently shook Papua New Guinea causing three victims and destroying about a thousand homes.

Oil companies still expanding
The major oil and gas companies would not be in line with the agreements made to limit polluting emissions and avoid global warming to no more than one and a half Celsius degrees of increase, at least according to the claims made about the intentions of twenty-five of these fossil fuel companies to continue to expand into the market with their products. The damage caused by excessive warming and the consequent greenhouse effect with devastating economic impacts is already evident on the planet, not to mention the victims and suffering; but oil companies do not seem willing to adopt plans to transition to renewable and sustainable energy and indeed it is clear that they are trying to continue on the same course of action for as long as possible by fueling the high demand for their products.
