Hurricane Beryl lashes Texas

After landing in recent days on the coast of Texas near Matagorda the category one hurricane "Beryl" subsequently lost power and even if now downgraded to a tropical storm it would have caused at least one victim and left between one and two million homes and businesses without electricity supply; a large port for the export of crude oil is closed, then the strong vortex continues its path towards Louisiana. As for hurricanes the researchers argue that if they continue to pump climate-changing gases into the atmosphere they are changing and in addition to gaining strength quickly, it may be necessary to add category six, perhaps with more unpredictable behavior; for example Beryl initially went from category one to four in one day, then later he also reached five.

Record heat for the month of June

The latest data collected on global average temperatures lead researchers to speculate that with an estimate of about ninety-five percent, 2024 could surpass 2023 as the hottest year ever since surface temperatures began to be recorded. The consequences on the planet of this warming in the first six months of the year already have been judged disastrous even if it must be considered that the global current "El Nino" could initially play a role by raising temperatures, but now we are in a neutral phase waiting to enter the climatic conditions influenced by the "Nina" and therefore in theory perhaps cooler. Greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels will continue to influence data for decades and promises made by major polluters have been largely disregarded.

Torrential rains in northeast India

Four people have been killed in north-east India due to torrential rainfall with about one million people affected by flooding; monsoon rains are responsible for large-scale destruction and consequent casualties every year, but climate change is increasing the number of extreme events (last week in Nepal at least fourteen people lost their lives due to heavy rains and consequent landslides, floods, lightning). It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the death toll of "Beryl" hurricane has increased to seven and caused extensive destruction in the southeastern Caribbean, particularly affected Jamaica where many people did not know how to shelter from the violent gusts of wind caused by the category four vortex and which is about to become category five.

Heavy storms in Valle d'Aosta and Canton Ticino

Violent storms affected Valle d'Aosta region in Italy, Canton Ticino in Switzerland where there are two victims and one missing due to a landslide, then areas of south-eastern France with three victims due to the fall of a tree. The mountain tourist resort of Cogne is isolated where there is also a lack of drinking water supply, with the use of helicopters to evacuate tourists and inhabitants in difficulty (it will take weeks to restore the viability of the state road); mud in Cervinia, damaged bridges and roads, difficulty in reaching some places in the Alpine valleys of Piedmont. Weather forecasts warn that the wave of bad weather is moving towards Veneto and Friuli regions also with the danger of hailstorms and strong gusts of wind, while in the South of Italy the African heat wave continues with areas where temperatures perceived exceed forty degrees with inevitable inconveniences.

A destabilizing tunnel under Stonehenge

Putting the prehistoric World Heritage site of Stonehenge on the list of endangered sites could be embarrassing for the British authorities, but this initiative can be useful to avoid the construction of a tunnel near the well-known archaeological remains that are visited by tourists from all over the world. The construction of the tunnel would serve to decongest traffic in the south-west of England, especially on days considered of peak (basically a red dot on the calendar) during the holidays, but since 2017 some experts have warned that this could cause permanent and irreversible damage. Protests have drawn attention to the site built between three thousand and two thousand three hundred B.C., an important megalithic monument, rather delicate, characterized by astral alignment with sophisticated architecture.

Floods in Guangdong in China

Dozens of people have been killed and thousands of people evacuated in southern China due to the intense rainfall and consequent landslides that have been affecting the country for days, particularly affected the Guangdong; then there is talk of floods that happen once in a century for the city of Meizhou with at least thirty-eight victims in the area of this county alone, then flooded eight large centers in the Pingyuan county. Rescuers are trying to help people in distress with boats and the authorities have warned the population that other floods and extreme phenomena could also affect other areas of the country. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the death of fish in central Vietnam in the Ialy reserve in the province of Kon Tum, apparently due to a heavy downpour that caused oxygen levels in the water to drop.

A sometimes fatal pilgrimage to Mecca

With temperatures reaching over fifty-one degrees Celsius for the nearly two million pilgrims who travel to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to witness the final stages of the rites at the Kaaba it could be very risky for health, especially for the elderly and frail; meanwhile the official death toll from the intense heat wave has risen to five hundred and sixty-two, but it is feared that there may be hundreds more. Some say that spraying water on the hot body only works with temperatures below about thirty-five Celsius degrees; in fact, with temperatures that are too high the conditions for the body can also worsen due to the increase in humidity and therefore difficulty in disposing of heat through sweating, even if have to drink to stay well hydrated, take breaks, look for places to protect from crowding.

South China affected by floods

Five people have died and fifteen are missing due to torrential rainfall and consequent floods and landslides that have affected vast areas in southern China, in some cases the impetuous flow of water has dragged cars and debris and turned roads into torrents; then there is talk of people rescued by rescuers who had to intervene with boats and life jackets moving with difficulty immersed in the water. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report other emergencies such as the fires that are affecting California with the skies near San Francisco that have become dark due to the presence of soot and low air quality, then fires recently also in Sicily in Italy where the drought is rapidly emptying the reservoirs while in Sardinia there is serious damage to agricultural production due to drought.

A lot of water in North Italy and little in South

While the northern regions can take advantage of abundant water reserves and the latest rainfall has been so intense as to hinder some sowing with agricultural vehicles that sometimes fail to advance in the mud, in the southern regions water is scarce and after Sicily and Puglia other regions also have to face a prolonged drought with rising temperatures, damage to crops and suffering vegetation. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in India a group of fifty thousand workers were the first beneficiaries of a new insurance that intervenes when temperatures reach extremes above forty degrees Celsius, then there is talk of compensation for passengers of a Singapore airline affected by a strong turbulence that had caused one death and dozens of injuries.

Long and oppressive heat wave in India

Vast areas in the north of India would be affected by temperatures reaching forty-five degrees Celsius, with peaks of over forty-nine, since mid-May and therefore this is the longest heat wave (about twenty-four days) that has hit the country, then there are also those who say that the worst is yet to come even if the expected monsoon rains should temporarily improve the situation. Heat waves are becoming more frequent, intense and long-lasting, putting a strain on the resilience of the population exposed to oppressive heat and preventive measures must be taken to cope with them. In the meantime the situation will only get worse as the authorities rely on coal to power power plants, then strong population growth, industrialization and mechanization of transport do nothing that increase polluting concentrations to the point of led to claim that "we are endangering not only ourselves, but also future generations".

No advertising for fossil fuels

It is urgent for every government to prohibit advertising for fossil fuels, at least according to statements by international authorities who argue that this ban should mimic the one adopted by many governments regarding tobacco and cigarettes, in order to avoid the destruction of the planet even after the truly alarming data regarding temperatures with record average values of warming for twelve consecutive months. France was the first country to introduce this advertising ban for fossil fuels in 2022, then other countries are campaigning for more responsible energy use. Electricity, domestic heating and the production of steel and cement are the major factors that contribute to global warming, so we should intervene on them while also avoiding the so-called "greenwashing" with operations to camouflage the pollution.

Storm over coastal provinces of South Africa

A storm characterized by strong vortices has practically razed to the ground an inhabited area near Durban and affected the coastal provinces of KwaZulu-Natal of the South African state, leaving a trail of destruction and considerable damage; there are reports of dozens of victims, then injured by debris swirling in the air while trying to rescue people in distress. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the erosion that threatens to make the place considered historic of the beach of Utah and those nearby on the coasts of Normandy in France where the landing operations of the so-called "D-Day" took place on June 6, 1944, which is also a place that attracts thousands of visitors. Two-thirds of Normandy's coastline is affected by erosion according to a 2023 report by international organizations.

Sea rise affects a Panama island

Houses on the island of Sagti Sugtupu are regularly affected by rising sea levels, and the authorities have allowed the first inhabitants of this ancestral living area to move to their new homes in Nuevo Carti in the indigenous region of Guna Yala on Panama's Caribbean coast, three hundred houses that can be reached by boat in about fifteen minutes. These are cases related to climate change on the planet that will make life increasingly difficult for those who live in homes affected by the phenomenon of rising seas mainly due to rising seas in Panama. It is worth mentioning the wave of bad weather that hit some regions of the North in Italy, there are reports of three missing people (young people who hugged each other) in Friuli region due to the flooding of the Natisone river that swept them away and dragged them downstream while the firefighters tried to rescue them from above with ropes.

Really high temperatures in New Delhi

The authorities have reportedly declared a severe heatwave condition for two suburban areas of Delhi, Narela and Murgeshpur where temperatures are close to fifty degrees Celsius; then the population of the metropolis is warned that the water supply could be reduced due to the high demand due to the scorching temperatures and therefore calls for a collective responsibility not to waste the precious liquid. It should be noted that Southeast Asia apparently relies on gas to power power plants, considering it less polluting than coal, but without taking into account the highly climate-altering greenhouse gas leaks of methane from pipelines. Recently then cyclone "Remal", one of the longest in the history of the country, had hit Bangladesh and India causing over thirty-eight victims with floods and inconveniences; showing the extreme effects of climate change.

A magnitude 4.4 earthquake with its epicenter at the solfatara of Pozzuoli, estimated as the strongest in forty years, followed by a seismic swarm, caused some cornices to fall and some buildings were evacuated for stability checks; Then there is talk of schools and offices closed, panic for the population that poured into the streets and many slept in cars and tents even if there were no injuries. As for the wave of bad weather that has mainly affected some regions such as Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna, there would be red alerts for possible floods, high hydrogeological risk in some areas recently affected by cloudbursts. Fears for the population living in Emilia Romagna, especially in Cesena for example, a year after the disastrous flood that had caused victims and extensive damage to the region.

The month of April is always very hot on average

The average global temperatures monitored both in the air and on the surface of the seas in April would have set yet another warming record, eleventh month in a row despite the fact that the global "El Nino" current which generally tends to increase temperatures has weakened and therefore the responsibility falls on human activities aggravating extreme phenomena. According to the researchers twelve months with temperatures of one and a half degrees Celsius on average of warming does not mean that the climate goals set in Paris have not been met because average temperatures are calculated in periods of decades, but they are a really serious environmental signal.

Trying to cope with heat waves is crucial

A study of the unprecedented five-day heat wave that swept through Mali and Burkina Faso in late March and early April found that without the pollution produced by fossil fuel burning industries, it would not have been possible to reach temperatures that exceeded forty degrees Celsius day and night, or at least perhaps only once every two centuries. Extreme temperatures have been monitored in the Sahel region, including Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria and Chad, and will only worsen in the future if this trend continues with prolonged heatwaves becoming more frequent with a very serious impact on the population and nature (for example water resources have been depleted); therefore, it is clear that it is crucial to address this problem.

Floods in Russia and Kazakhstan

The worst floods in decades are affecting areas of Russia and Kazakhstan with more than one hundred thousand people evacuated and considerable inconvenience for the population affected by the extreme weather event forced to move partially submerged in water. The melting of snow in the Ural Mountains and intense rainfall caused the Ural and Tobol rivers to overflow (in a few hours they reached the highest levels ever recorded); then there is also talk of a dam that has collapsed while the reservoirs are full. For example in the city of Orenburg the levels of the Ural River have exceeded the values considered critical and the authorities have warned residents of the at-risk areas to leave their homes promptly. The Ural River is the third longest river in Europe and flows through Russia and Kazakhstan into the Caspian Sea.

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.

Floods in southeastern Brazil

At least twenty-three people are said to have died due to torrential rainfall and consequent flooding in southeastern Brazil, particularly affected in some areas in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo; there are reports of hundreds of houses destroyed by the force of impetuous torrents of water and mud that have overwhelmed them with overturned cars and debris on the roads, teams of rescuers are trying to bring help to the population while searching for any missing people. Also worth mentioning in Rio de Janeiro is the heat wave that recently recorded forty-two Celsius degrees with a perceived temperature of over sixty-two degrees, the highest in a decade according to the authorities since these records began to be recorded in 2014; it seems to be due in part to deforestation for the increase in population with increased housing needs.

Breaking all negative climate records

Yet another red alert from international organizations regarding the climate data collected during 2023, in particular regarding ocean warming and ice melting in the polar ice caps especially that of Antarctica (one million square kilometers below the previous negative record, an area almost equivalent to the size of Egypt). Global average temperatures are now dangerously close to the one and a half Celsius degree increase established in the 2015 Paris Agreement as a limit not to be exceeded and these are negative records since temperatures were monitored one hundred and seventy-four years ago, then the rise in sea levels is really worrying. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a cloudburst with consequent flooding of water and mud in the city of Duhok in Iraq, there is talk of two victims as well as damage and inconvenience.

State of emergency on the Reykjanes Peninsula

The fourth eruption since December affected the Reykjanes peninsula in southeastern Iceland, there is talk of a missing and state of emergency for the localities of Grindavik (a town evacuated for some time) and Blue Lagoon; the incandescent magma emerges from a fissure about three kilometers long and advances past the barriers of earth and rock that have been prepared to deflect and control the spectacular magmatic flow. Researchers had already widely predicted the eruption because volcanic activity in the subsurface remained quite high. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a legislation recently approved in France to regulate extremely low costs fashion with a high environmental impact, the entire textile sector seems to be responsible for ten percent of climate-altering gas emissions as well as being a major polluter of water.

Heavy rainfall in Argentina with flooding

Soybean fields in Argentina would have been affected by heavy rainfall and there are fears that the harvest for the 2023-24 season could suffer serious consequences (while the wheat harvest for the 2024-25 growing season could perhaps be fine); there is talk of flooding in some areas of the city of Buenos Aires as well as a kind of lightning storm with flashes every second. It will be necessary to deal with the high humidity rate so as not to compromise the health of the plants from any fungi and pathogens, although it is generally better that it rains in abundance rather than the drought experienced previously. Shifting attention to other scenarios, it is worth mentioning the copious snowfall that affected large areas of Colorado in the United States with thousands of homes left without electricity supply and inevitable inconvenience for the population.

Floods in France and Indonesia

Three people are said to have died and four are missing due to a violent storm in southeastern France, particularly affecting an area north of Nimes where a bridge over the Gardon River was flooded by a torrent of water and mud that swept away a car with its occupants near the village of Dions, then other people were also swept away in Gagnieres in the Gard department and the authorities warn that the situation is still risky due to bad weather and to be careful not to put their lives in danger. As far as Indonesia is concerned, there is talk of floods and landslides with a provisional toll of twenty-six victims and eleven missing due to torrential rainfall that flooded rivers with consequent floods, then interruptions in the energy supply, significant damage also in the Padang Pariaman district.

February the warmest month on record globally

Last month would have been the ninth warmest month in a row on record partly due to an extreme heat wave that affected South America, then in Europe there is talk of the second warmest winter ever. In the first half of February daily temperatures were particularly high with peaks on four consecutive days of two Celsius degrees on average higher than those of the pre-industrial era, and this a few months after the first single day that had exceeded this limit had been monitored. A severe drought has hit Spain even if not with such anomalous temperatures, the oceans (which cover seven percent of the planet and absorb ninety percent of the excess heat produced by human activities) have been on average really warm with significant global climate consequences.

Avalanche warning in the Alps in Italy

The wave of bad weather characterized by intense rainfall that affected Italy brought a lot of snow to the Alps but unstable with a high risk of avalanches, a boy lost his life overwhelmed by an avalanche in South Tyrol while skiing off-piste; then there is talk of an orange alert in Piedmont for landslides and also in Emilia Romagna where the level of rivers remains under observation. Inconveniences in some cases due to the temporary closure of roads with people who remained isolated as happened in Gressoney in the Aosta Valley (the population complains about the lack of maintenance interventions). Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a spill of about twenty-one thousand metric tons of fertilizers aa well as heavy hydrocarbons from a ship in the Red Sea hit due to a conflict with consequent high environmental risk and danger of ecological disaster.

Great apes suffering from climate change

Countless dangers threaten the health of the great apes, which are genetically the closest cousins of human beings; for example climate change favors adverse conditions in hundreds of African habitats, then there are also human conflicts to add further stress. The researchers who monitored more than three hundred and thirty sites where the monkeys live would have found an increase in temperatures and with extreme impacts in the case of predictions of a world two to three Celsius degrees superheated above pre-industrial levels. Some speak of a generational trauma to the detriment of the great ape population without considering that the primary cause is the absurd practice of deforestation and hunting practiced by humans; it is therefore necessary to act urgently first on these last two factors.

Heavy rains with flooding in the North of Italy

The wave of bad weather continues in Italy especially in the North in some cases with torrential rainfall as happened for example in Vicenza where the situation is defined as critical although under control in part thanks to the use of expansion tanks (Caldogno floodplain basins) that intercept the flooded waters from the Bacchiglione river at the confluence with the Retrone; there is talk of schools and parks closed, areas under water, flooded businesses, and important railway lines temporarily interrupted. In Emilia Romagna efforts are being made to monitor rivers whose level is high while weather forecasts predict more rain. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the floods due to the intense rains that have been affecting Brazil for days with considerable inconvenience for the population in the affected areas.

Whales vulnerable to noise pollution

The vocal apparatus of whales has evolved with special and unique characteristics that allow the emission of complex melodies in the water useful for social communication between cetaceans and reproduction among these mammals, but this would also make them particularly vulnerable to human noise pollution produced by ships. Instead of vocal cords according to the researchers there would be a kind of U-shaped structure in the larynxes of whales that allows them to generate low-frequency melodies that reach considerable distances, apparently not present in any other animal with a particular adaptation that allows them to produce sounds in practice by prolonging breath. The frequency of noise pollution produced by ships interferes with the communication of cetaceans which often change their behaviour by remaining silent, impacting entire marine ecosystems.

CO2 emissions not in line with targets in China

Carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial sector in China have increased by more than five percent, at least according to a Finnish report that points out that the country is not in line with the objectives of limiting polluting emissions due to the increase in energy demand that occurred after the Covid-19 pandemic, then difficult climatic conditions would have worsened the situation with hydropower production reaching a minimum in over two decades. Renewable energy installations which hit a record high last year could partially offset the energy shortfall if they continue at the same pace. It should be noted that some have long argued that the entire sector of renewable energy sources should not be supported by that which can be linked to that of fossil fuels.

Drought expected due to little snow in the Alps

The higher Italy temperatures than the average for the period in the Alps in January and the fairly low snowfall had already significantly reduced the snowpack and the situation in February worsened with temperature peaks at spring levels partly caused by an African anticyclone and the thermal inversion, so droughts are expected in the coming months because water reserves are already dwindling both in terms of river flow and aquifers and it will be necessary to modernize irrigation systems, build reservoirs as well as try to channel the water that runs. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues inconveniences in China due to sandstorms (of orange color), then there is talk of frost waves and heavy snowfalls with difficulty in moving to the affected areas.

An infiltration of water from subsoil in Libya

In the city of Zliten on the coast of Libya a group of houses would be affected by water infiltration from the subsoil with almost fifty families forced to abandon their homes (which have also become smelly and with the presence of many mosquitoes), it is a fairly anomalous phenomenon for a desert and dry region and some advance various hypotheses and for example it could be caused by the rise in sea level since on the coasts the salt water denser water infiltrates by pushing fresh water to the surface. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the freezing point at over three thousand three hundred meters in Italy and partly the cause of an anticyclone of African origin and the thermal inversion, practically summer values that are quickly melting the already scarce snowpack present in the Alps.

Torrential rainfall would have caused vast floods in Indonesia with numerous landslides, submerged houses and impassable roads, there is talk of mass evacuations in the affected areas with considerable inconvenience for the population where evacuation centers have been set up (but apparently there is a lack of food and basic necessities); then since elections will be held in the country, some say that it will be difficult to guarantee their smooth running. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a leak of heavy hydrocarbons from an unidentified ship detected in a stretch of coast of about fifteen kilometers of Trinidad and Tobago, with the authorities intending to declare a national emergency with the request for aid; in fact, pollution has damaged tourist beaches while volunteers try to clean them up.

Globally hot January in an overheated world

The monitored data would confirm that the threshold of one and a half Celsius degrees of global temperature increase continues to be exceeded in the month of January, which is the warmest ever recorded in a row of eight months all very hot on average. This is a very worrying trend with very high costs to be faced due to extreme events that will certainly affect overheated areas of the planet, not to mention that the oceans are also very warm and this means more humidity in the atmosphere and therefore with unstable weather, strong winds and torrential rainfall. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the drought that has been affecting Sardinia in Italy lately (as has already happened for Sicily) with the risk of interruptions in the supply of drinking water despite the forecast of rains in the coming days.

It should be noted changing the subject a decidedly unhealthy recent report on pollution released by international organizations with the prediction of thirty-five million cases of cancer by 2050, with an increase of seventy-seven percent compared to 2022, in practice it is implied that pollution is slowly killing us.

New levels of alert for coral bleaching

Ocean temperatures are rising dramatically so much so that organizations monitoring the health of coral reefs around the world have added three new levels of alert regarding coral bleaching, also useful as indicators of ocean and ecosystem health since last year stress levels for example of corals in the Caribbean were so high that they could not be well represented with the old two-level alert scale when corals turn white by expelling algae due to marine heat waves they become more vulnerable and if they do not return they risk dying with heavy consequences on biodiversity the maximum alert level five represents the worst-case scenario and the worst impact, comparable in a figurative sense to a category five hurricane and therefore with a drastic bleaching.

World's largest cruise ship gets talked about

With its six engines and seven swimming pools the cruise ship that recently set sail from Florida has caused a discussion among environmentalists about the climate impact judged excessive, for example complaining that the passengers on board the ship would have an ecological footprint eight times higher than they would have if they remained on land, then the methane emissions of the engines that are dispersed into the environment would be high (even if the designers claim its considerable energy efficiency). The ship is three hundred and fifty meters long and can accommodate about seven thousand six hundred passengers with two thousand three hundred and fifty people per crew, twenty decks, an ice skating rink, a theater and over forty restaurants, bars and lounges; then there is no shortage of innovations to pleasantly entertain a clientele that is evidently little environmentalist.

Hundreds of towns are threatened by flames, for example due to a large fire in a forest, and many are also in danger and could soon be reached by fires. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a study argues that the cyclical phenomenon of "El Nino" reduces the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide, then the increase in expected emissions from fossil fuels and deforestation will only aggravate the climatic situation in 2024.

A fishing village is at risk of being swallowed by lava erupted from a volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula in southeastern Iceland and already some houses have burned despite the authorities having built containment barriers made of earth and rock; there is talk of a state of emergency, a dangerous situation and the evacuation of people who had returned to the town of Grindavik after the first eruptive phase two months ago. Iceland has over thirty active volcanoes and is a destination for many tourists attracted by this often spectacular telluric activity, but in 2010 a volcano had projected volcanic ash into the atmosphere hindering about one hundred thousand air flights even if it seems that in the case of the current Reykjanes volcanic system not being trapped under the ice it should not cause clouds of volcanic ash in the skies.

Abnormal and too mild temperatures in Italy

In a period in which frosts at the beginning of the year are usually frequent unusually mild temperatures are recorded in the north in Italy and anomalous in the center-south with peaks around twenty Celsius degrees in Pescara, Catania and Palermo. Limiting the warming of land and seas is essential according to the researchers because record heat waves on land and sea marked last year and temperatures reached heat peaks of fifty-three degrees Celsius in Death Valley in the United States, fifty-five in Tunisia and fifty-two in China; then from March to October the oceans recorded the highest sea temperatures ever. Some talk about trying to limit the points of no return and for example in Greenland the melting of the ice causes a lowering of altitude in altitude and consequently higher temperatures with a phenomenon that feeds on itself.

It is better to keep loving domestic cats indoors

Domestic cats are very appreciated and loving pets, but it is better to keep them at home avoiding that they can hunt freely because apparently they are formidable ruthless predators and hardly lose their innate predatory instinct, so much so that some say that if they identify any food source that moves they hunt it and take it indiscriminately. It is a threat to biodiversity that is already in crisis due to climate causes; in fact, for example, billions of birds are preyed upon by cats, then reptiles, insects and amphibians, emperor dragonflies and monarch butterflies (species in danger of extinction) as well as small brown bats and green sea turtles. Apparently cats are particularly lethal on islands where life has developed without too many natural predators to the point of becoming a major problem for the biodiversity.

The frequency and intensity of extreme events in the Horn of Africa has greatly increased being one of the regions of the planet most vulnerable to climate change even if it has a minimal contribution to the global increase in pollutant emissions; then there is talk of damage to roads and bridges, closed schools, flooded crops, health risks and the proliferation of diseases.

Hurricane affects Crimea and southern Russia

At least thirteen people are said to have died due to a hurricane that lashed large areas in southern Russia, Ukraine and Moldova with strong gusts of wind; Crimea was particularly affected by the vortex with floods and considerable inconvenience for the population also rescued by rubber dinghies; damage on the coasts as far as Odessa, then significant damage to several tourist centers. There are reports of almost two million people left without electricity, trees uprooted, railway connections suspended and road accidents occurred. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the wave of bad weather and cold that affects Italy continues with several weather alerts for example in Tuscany due to gusts of wind and storm surges, then intense thunderstorms could occur in the central-southern regions.

Cloudbursts in Somalia and Dominican Republic

There would be at least fifty victims due to torrential rains in Somalia and consequent floods, then almost seven hundred thousand people have had to leave their homes, with roads, bridges damaged and further heavy rains are expected that will inevitably worsen the already miserable conditions of the country; the Horn of Africa region in general has been affected by the worst drought in four decades. As far as the Dominican Republic is concerned, there is talk of at least twenty-one victims due to rains of such intensity that they have been defined as never seen before, with damage to infrastructure due to the recent floods. About thirteen thousand people were evacuated in the affected areas that were sometimes left without electricity and drinking water; at the end of August the country had been lashed by the storm (Franklin) with casualties and evacuations.

Unseasonably hot weather in Rio de Janeiro

An unbearable heat is affecting large high areas of Brazil and for Rio de Janeiro there is talk of perceived temperatures of about fifty-eight Celsius degrees, then it is an unseasonal heat because in Brazil it is spring and it is estimated that in this period there are five degrees more on average due to the effect of continuous heat waves that are affecting the country. Some events have been cancelled without counting the inconvenience for the population and there is also talk of a victim due to the heat with worrying forecasts for the summer periods regarding temperatures. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the recent earthquake of magnitude 6.7 that struck the Philippines with its epicenter off the island of Mindanao at a depth of about sixty kilometers in the province of Sarangani causing six victims and two missing.

Flooding in Florida due to heavy rains

Heavy to torrential rainfall would have affected large areas in central and southwest Florida, with more than seven million people ending up under water with roads turned into rivers, schools closed and power outages for more than one hundred thousand users. Authorities warn people living in the highly urbanized I-95 corridor to be careful given the likelihood of life-threatening flooding due to the intense non-tropical storm. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the record of greenhouse gas emissions monitored into the atmosphere in 2022, then other negative climate records were also exceeded in a situation of great danger for the planet and potentially irreversible without now very urgent measures.

Volcanic eruption alert in Iceland

Three thousand residents of the town of Grindavik in the southeast of Iceland in the Reykjanes region would have been evacuated due to the danger of a volcanic eruption evidenced by magma coming out of the subsoil and strong seismic tremors; in fact, the risk is high due to the considerable amount of intrusion of underground magma in relation to the speed of movement of the magmatic mass, so it is hypothesized that could soon erupt even if is not an emergency evacuation. The Reykjanes Peninsula southwest of the capital Reykjavik has already been affected by several eruptions in recent years in unpopulated areas, for example in March 2021 spectacular lava fountains erupted from ground fissures in the Fagradalsfjall volcanic seismic system, then for six months the sprays of magmatic material continued also attracting tourists to visit the area.

Tuvaluans hosted in Australia

Two of the nine coral islands of the Tuvalu archipelago are already largely submerged by the action of the waves and the eleven thousand residents who live in one of the nations most vulnerable to climate change due to the rise of the ocean should be helped to cope with the situation and hosted in Australia, at least according to agreements made recently by the authorities also because of the predictions that the entire archipelago will become uninhabitable within the next eighty years. Apparently the people of Tuvalu will be able to live, study and work in Australia, being able to access the education and health systems and being able to take advantage of a welcome on arrival. This is the first measure specifically dedicated to mobility that can be linked to climate change, but some also speak of geopolitical tensions behind these decisions.

Record heat in October and also for the seas

With October globally so hot and the researchers' statement that 2023 will almost certainly be the warmest year on record, we are dangerously close to the threshold of one and a half degrees Celsius of global temperature increase and this should prompt a change of course regarding cutting polluting emissions, but the next climate change conference UNCOP28 already from the place where it is held in Dubai according to some is an indication on the likely poor results that will be achieved given the role of fossil fuel producing countries in the final decisions taken. There is also talk for the month of October of exceptional anomalies regarding temperatures, then the seas excluding the polar regions were on average very warm considering that the oceans have absorbed ninety percent of the emissions produced by human activities and are now saturated.

Count of damage in Italy due to bad weather

The flooded areas in Tuscany between Prato, Pistoia and Florence where thousands of users are still without electricity supply were intensely cemented and this, in addition to favoring flooding, would have increased the damage that seems to be extensive (the water overflowed by rivers and streams has found no obstacles), particularly affected Campi Bisenzio with strong inconvenience for the population. The storm surges caused by the cyclonic vortex have eroded the beaches of Grado in Friuli, damaging some tourist establishments with waves that have reached the streets and in Veneto and Liguria there is talk of a similar situation for several well-known tourist resorts. For a long time researchers have been suggesting that highly urbanized areas should be transformed into sponges by creating green areas in every possible space that can absorb water and then convey it to appropriate storage basins.

An extra-tropical cyclone lashes part of Italy

After affecting several European countries with peaks of wind gusts of one hundred and eighty kilometers per hour and torrential rainfall causing some victims and damage (for example in France large areas were left without electricity supply due to the fall of the poles that support the lines) the extra-tropical cyclone "Ciaran" is lashing Italy, there is talk of six victims and two missing in Tuscany and two missing in Veneto as well as damage and inconvenience. Tuscany was particularly affected where a state of emergency was declared due to flooding of rivers and streams, then roads turned into waterways that also dragged and wedged cars one above the top, piled up debris, then there were floods in hospitals while waiting for the flood of the Arno river. In Friuli where there is a red alert the level of the Tagliamento and Isonzo rivers is worrying.

Atmosphere polluted by boosters of satellites

Since 1957 more than fourteen thousand satellites have been launched and the initial states of the launching rocket pollute the atmosphere a lot, then in the upper layers of the atmosphere there is a sort of aerosol of metal particles (which can favor the formation of clouds of ice droplets in the stratosphere) that derive from the disintegration of satellites that have reached the end of their operations and sometimes even entire space stations. Generally the debris orbiting at a speed of about thirty thousand kilometers is incinerated by friction with the air, apart from the larger and more robust ones which are estimated to be over three hundred thousand pieces orbiting at high speed in a kind of space dump. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the umpteenth wave of bad weather in Italy, there is talk of a missing person, two collapsed bridges, floods and various alerts.

Role of human activities on dust storms

High temperatures, drought and high evaporation tend to make the soil drier, this combined with poor soil maintenance leads to a greater number of sandstorms and dust; then the amount of dust monitored in the world's air would have worsened in 2022 compared to 2021, at least according to data monitored by international organizations due to a slight increase due to an increase in emissions from West and Central Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Iranian plateau and northwest China. The darker skies for dust entering the atmosphere have an impact on ecosystems, economies and climate (and health) are due in part to a natural process but largely due to an unwise management of land and water resources. in Europe the air quality limit of fifty micrograms per day is rarely respected.

Global deforestation still excessive

We are not on track to stop global deforestation by 2030, at least according to a group of researchers who claim that the pace of deforestation increased by four percent last year thus putting the planet's liveability for humanity at risk. Forests are not only a key factor for animal life and maintaining balanced biodiversity, but also a regulator of the global climate and constitute a kind of sponge capable of capturing the carbon dioxide emissions produced by humanity. Not all countries in the world have deforestation increased and some manage to keep in line with ecological directives although overall the picture remains negative, for example in Indonesia forests continue to be illegally burned to make way for oil palm crops.

Italy partly divided between bad weather and heat

A wave of bad weather is lashing some regions of central and northern Italy with alert especially in Liguria due to strong gusts of wind and high storm surges on the coasts, while in Venice there is talk of high water with activation of the mobile bulkheads; then recently Tuscany was affected by cloudbursts with flooding in the tourist town of Follonica and a whirlwind in Livorno with damage and debris. In the South spared by the disturbance summer temperatures remain with thirty-five Celsius degrees in Sicily in Cefalù (schools closed due to the heat) and great heat also in Palermo due to the sirocco wind, then dozens of fires with inevitable inconveniences. It should be noted changing the scenario that last week an exercise was held in Paris that simulated the preparations to face any heat waves expected for 2032 with peaks of over fifty Celsius degrees for ten days in a row.

Infectious diseases on stressed plants

Climate change with the increasing warming of the planet and consequent long periods of drought (often followed by extreme events with cloudbursts and therefore excessive humidity, gusts of wind, hailstorms and lightning) stress plants that become more susceptible to infectious diseases and there are also new pathogens that weaken trees as for example is happening to oaks in many areas of California and Oregon devastated by a fungus. In North America there is talk of the loss of much of the chestnut crop and new diseases are emerging all the time, while researchers warn that plant diseases generally go unnoticed until the pathogen settles permanently on weakened vegetation, a bit like what happens in figurative terms in humans and animals with weakened immune systems.

Oilsands production on the rise in Canada

Although Canada is one of the countries most affected by climate change caused by the uncontrolled consumption of fossil fuels with devastating uncontrollable fires that have recently more than doubled the previous records and recently an unprecedented extreme marine heat wave, apparently it focuses on oil exploitation from oilsands with an increase of about five hundred thousand barrels more (from 4.8 million to 5.3) about ten percent more within the end of 2024. According to some five hundred thousand barrels it is much and more than many countries produce in the world and therefore Canada could become the country with the greatest increase in production in the world; needless to say that instead of investing in renewable resources is continue to try to make the most of fossil fuels in a planet already overheated above the limits of naturalistic balance.

An evacuation plan is ready in case of need, but some say that there are no roads and escape routes; so it will be very difficult to implement it effectively. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that in the Amazon in the region of Tefe Lake would have died about one hundred and twenty dolphins probably due to high temperatures (thirty-nine degrees Celsius with great death of fish) even if is investigate any other causes.

As for the strong earthquake some say it is quantifiable of magnitude 7.2 and others 6.8, then depending on the surveys of the research centers the epicenter would be in the Ighil area of the High Atlas or perhaps near Marrakesh at a fairly superficial depth of about eighteen kilometers and caused by the clash of the African plate towards the European one. The historic walls of Marrakesh, World Heritage City, have collapsed in many places and the damage in general is really significant.

Climate genomic study on ancient populations

A decline caused by an extreme climatic event would have been detected by a genomic study on ancient populations, at least according to the statements of researchers who in figurative terms speak of a kind of significant bottleneck regarding the population; the study was carried out by analyzing the genetic sequences of over three thousand one hundred and fifty individuals (African and Eurasian fossils) from nine hundred and thirty thousand and eight hundred and thirteen thousand years ago and finding correspondences with a severe climate change in that period. It is difficult to make a direct comparison with the current situation with over eight billion individuals that populate the planet and whose activities could lead many individuals and species to extinction, but is try to find for example a relationship in general with the population during the Pleistocene.

Declared the state of maximum alert and people who will be affected by the extreme effects of the strong vortex (formed in the Gulf of Mexico as a storm and then gained strength) are advised to take refuge from relatives; In fact, it will be difficult to cope with the gusts of wind and high waves on the coasts. To report shifting attention to Italy still weather alerts in different regions after the wave of strong bad weather that crossed the peninsula causing damage and inconvenience, for example reported strong hailstorms in Salento with hailstones as large as oranges.

Protecting posidonia meadows

It is estimated that posidonia meadows have lost fourteen percent of their extent in the Mediterranean, a considerable loss given the great ability of this marine plant (often confused with an alga) to capture carbon dioxide and in the role of slowing the erosion of the coasts forming a kind of natural barrier. A little environmental tourism, boat anchors and pollution threaten the meadows of posidonia in the figurative sense lungs of the Mediterranean and in this way the whole ecosystem. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the wave of bad weather that affected Lombardy and Liguria regions in Italy with damage and inconvenience, then a storm called "Idalia" in the Gulf of Mexico that could affect Florida with strong gusts of wind and high waves on the coasts.

Tropical forests at the limits of the heat threshold

The leaves of tropical forests fail to implement photosynthesis if the temperatures are excessive and apparently a small percentage of canopy leaves would have dried up having reached the limit of forty-seven degrees Celsius since the upper part of the leaves warms faster than the air and if the temperatures in the tropical forests were to overheat by four degrees above the current values it is possible the scenario that all the leaves dry out. To report other naturalistic emergencies such as the floods in Punjab in Pakistan with about one hundred thousand people evacuated from the villages for the heavy monsoon rains that also affect crops, then the heat wave in many European countries, for example in France there is talk of red alert for temperatures that reach forty degrees with great stress for vegetation.

Heat wave over Italy

Due to the effects of an anticyclone of African origin that has been insisting for days on the Italian peninsula, high temperatures are being recorded, especially in the North with records regarding the thermal zero at over five thousand three hundred meters and the glaciers in great suffering with the retreat of perennial snows and repercussions on the whole ecosystem up to the valley. In Marmolada peaks of heat up to eighteen degrees and under surveillance the area where in July 2022 a serac broke off overwhelming hikers. Eighteen cities in the country with a red dot due to the heat wave (there is talk of thirty-eight degrees Celsius for several large cities) which according to weather forecasts will last until the end of the week when a disturbance will arrive from England that will probably drop temperatures a lot; in the meantime must try to protect the most fragile people.

A hurricane approaches Mexico and California

It is feared that Category Four hurricane "Hilary" characterized by wind peaks of almost two hundred and fifteen kilometers per hour and heavy rainfall could cause flooding on the coasts of Mexico in Baja California and Southern California; then also on the west coasts of the United States, Nevada and Arizona that have recently been affected by strong heat waves (while some say that in the summer 2023 has changed something due to climate change). The Mexican authorities for example warn for the city of Tijuana in areas at risk to reach temporary shelters and activities to be ready for the arrival of the strong vortex. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the fires that are burning quickly the vegetation near Kelowna in British Columbia in Canada, there is talk of state of emergency and evacuation orders.

Evacuations for fires in northwest Canada

For Canada the problem of out-of-control fires continues to worry the authorities who have declared a state of emergency for the Northwest Territories and begin evacuations from their regional capital Yellowknife since the flames are advancing quickly and there is talk of a real threat to the city (not really immediate being the front of the fires at seventeen kilometers, but without rain in the coming days it could reach the city). Strong winds fuel the flames in large areas near the Arctic and indigenous communities have also received evacuation orders and for some populations it is the second time in recent months that they have had to leave their homes. Throughout Canada there is talk of almost one thousand hundred fires including over two hundred and thirty in the Northwest Territories, four victims this year and thirteen and a half million hectares of vegetation burned.

Heavy monsoon rains in the Himalayas in India

Torrential rains would have affected the Himalayas in India and in particular the Himachal Pradesh, there is talk of over fifty victims, missing, homes and roads destroyed; then rescuers dig into an area covered in debris and mud where it is feared that people may have been trapped. The researchers say that although heavy monsoon rains are typical at this time in India, climate change makes them more frequent and violent. To report shifting attention to other scenarios that in Italy a storm flooded the Frejus stream in Bardonecchia in Piedmont region causing significant damage, then in Japan a strong vortex (a degraded typhoon) partly affected Osaka and Kobe with strong gusts of wind, torrential rains and high waves on the coasts with consequent inconvenience, power supply disruptions and flight cancellations.

Fires in Portugal by heat wave

Teams of firefighters are engaged in facing three fire fronts in Portugal of which the most serious in the south-west of the country at the city of Odemira where about fourteen hundred people had been evacuated and as a precaution also a campsite, there is talk of fires favored by the high temperatures that exceed forty degrees Celsius and also in neighboring Spain there are very hot days (and there is no shortage of fires). The city of Santarem which is located about eighty kilometers from the capital of Portugal Lisbon recorded a temperature of almost forty-six and a half degrees. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that has risen to six the death toll of the floods that recently affected Slovenia, also relevant damage with masses of debris accumulated still to be removed.

Floods in northern China

There would be at least ten victims and eighteen missing in northern China on the borders of Russia and North Korea due to torrential rains and consequent floods, then there is talk of six hundred thousand residents in the Baoding area (which has a population of eleven and a half million individuals and is located about one hundred and fifty kilometers from Beijing) evacuated to areas at risk; so the death toll from recent floods in the country has risen to over thirty people. Red alert also in Beijing for any geological risks such as landslides caused by the wave of bad weather. In the meantime cleaning operations continue from the masses of mud and debris that had accumulated in the streets of the country transformed into rivers in the areas recently affected by floods and geological disasters, also considering that previously many of the same areas had been affected by repeated heat waves.

Endless fire season in Canada

In Canada records of areas affected by fires have been repeatedly broken in British Columbia (where the authorities have recently ordered new evacuations) and in Alberta with hundreds of outbreaks still active and we are only in the middle of summer so that researchers say there are still months for what is called fire season that may not even have an end; then for example in California is speak of "fire year" because of the prolonged devastation caused by uncontrollable fires. The effects of the global current "El Nino" with temperatures generally higher on average and a tendency to drought with drier vegetation could aggravate the situation. A better organization of firefighters is also needed to avoid serious injuries with equipment adapted to the changed climatic conditions and larger firefighting aircraft.

Difficulty in containing global emissions

Statements about global emissions have been conflicting lately after agreement was not reached on several points for reducing the use of fossil fuels planned in preparation for the next COP28 climate change conference, especially with regard to coal, favoring the transition to renewable energy; in fact, even if we admit the unprecedented gravity of the situation at a global level with record temperatures, catastrophes, devastating fires, it is not possible to overcome the obstacle for example represented by large oil producers. It seems that the interests of individual countries must first be resolved before we can act globally, but the time to intervene is running out rapidly and extreme phenomena are becoming more frequent and unpredictable with disastrous consequences on the whole ecosystem.

From global warming to global boiling

Global average temperatures are increasing so much due to the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels that there is talk of the transition from the global warming era to that of global boiling; in fact, after the month of June was the warmest ever recorded now that of July seems to be destined to beat it, then the temperatures of the seas are reaching decidedly unhealthy peaks for the ecosystem as for example is happening in Florida in the United States where thirty-eight degrees Celsius have recently been monitored. The vital global sea currents could collapse by mid-century due to temperature imbalances with heavy consequences regarding the rise of the seas and the intensification of extreme phenomena even if they are only simulated climate models with real times and effects difficult to predict, in any case very worrying.

Fires and great heat in the South in Italy

Fires in Palermo area would have caused three victims, fifteen hundred people evacuated and inconvenience for the population struggling with unbreathable air due to the smoke and the great heat, then there is talk of some canceled flights at Palermo airport. A victim also in Calabria due to fires while in Puglia about two thousand people have been evacuated. Controversy over the lack of firefighting aircraft to deal with the fires then there are other emergencies in Sicily such as areas without drinking water supply near Palermo that would require decisive interventions. Of note shifting attention to Greece three victims due to the fires that have been burning the vegetation of some islands for days while researchers point out how the Mediterranean is becoming in figurative terms a kind of hot spot of extreme effects related to climate change.

A fire front almost ten kilometers long advances burning the vegetation of the famous tourist island of Rhodes in Greece, there is talk of twenty-thirty thousand people evacuated while the ash of the fires rains on frightened tourists sometimes saved on boats from the beaches; then there would be hotels and houses burned while tour operators warn to change destination by not going to the island. Firefighters struggling to cope with fires that have lasted for days favored by wind and rather dry vegetation say that many outbreaks are uncontrollable (..fires with evacuations also in Corfu). Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the significant damage in Italy of the wave of bad weather in the North characterized by record hailstorms, strong gusts of wind that uprooted ancient trees and the oppressive heat in the South so that sometimes there were also problems caused by the hot asphalt.

Heat waves in Europe, United States and China

High temperatures have been recorded in several European countries such as Greece, Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Poland and according to weather forecasts heat records are expected with peaks of up to forty-eight degrees in inland areas of islands such as Sicily and Sardinia, perhaps among the highest ever recorded in Europe. In Morocco in North Africa there is talk of red alert, then in the United States some states such as Texas, California, Nevada and especially Arizona the population is put to stress by temperatures that can cause serious health risks to the elderly (very high sea the temperatures monitored in the southern coasts of Florida with consequences in general on the climate and the whole ecosystem). In China a large energy production company reports a record consumption in one day due to the use of refrigeration devices, then very hot even in Beijing.

Increasing damage from fires to Canada's forests

It is estimated that only the fire called "Donnie Creek" in Canada burned over five thousand seven hundred square kilometers of vegetation in British Columbia, then according to some after the end of the fire there could be a commercial race to burned timber (useful for example to manufacture pellets and paper pulp) further worsening the landscape and therefore with further damage to the ecosystem. There are many more lightning strikes that trigger fires due to human-caused climate change as well as an abnormal overheating that favors them and it is not excluded that they could continue for weeks or perhaps until the end of the fire season. The boreal forest is unlikely to regrow as before in the burned areas because the climatic conditions have changed and will be replaced by other type of vegetation with damage to the carbon capture and storage mechanism.

Record emissions in Canada due to wildfires

Nearly six hundred million tons of carbon dioxide have been emitted into the atmosphere due to the hundreds of wildfires that have devoured Canada's vegetation since May, at least according to atmospheric surveys that show that they are equivalent to eighty-eight percent of all greenhouse gas sources calculated together in 2021 of the country; the previous record was monitored in 2014 with over five hundred million tons of CO2. Firefighters currently face almost five hundred outbreaks over half of which are classified as out of control due to a series of factors due to climate change such as high temperatures and dryness of vegetation and air quality in Montreal would have recently been the worst in the world, then seventy-five million people in large areas even outside the borders Canada have to breathe poor quality air.

Proposals for a marine emissions tax

The proposal put forward by the French authorities for a global tax on maritime emissions in order to tackle climate change and poverty is under discussion even if for the moment no agreement has been reached, but there is talk of a reform of international finance in the next two years with the declaration that being a sector of the economy not yet taxed there is no justification for not being taxed. It is estimated that three percent of greenhouse gas emissions are due to the maritime sector and it is feared that by 2050 this share could grow significantly. Some environmentalists say that there can be no climate justice without polluters paying a tax, then in the past there was talk of little clarity on the type of fuels used for shipping, often of very low quality with high emissions of pollutants into the environment.

Rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers

Increasingly high temperature peaks due to global warming are causing the glaciers of the Hindu Kush chain to rapidly melt at an unexpected rate, it is estimated from 2011 to 2020 sixty-five percent faster than in previous decades with heavy consequences on the water supply of two hundred and forty million people in the mountainous regions and another one billion six hundred and fifty million in the valleys of downstream rivers. These glaciers feed ten of the largest river systems in the world such as Ganges, Indus, Yellow River, Mekong and Irrawaddy and therefore billions of people depend on them. Losing this cryosphere at low temperatures due to uncontrolled human emissions of climate-changing gases means serious damage to the entire global ecosystem and we must act quickly to prepare for significant climate change.

Tropical mangrove forests can grow in inhospitable environments and allow to limit coastal erosion by protecting the territory from floods and storms, it is a complex ecosystem anchored to the salt mud underwater that allows the survival of an innumerable life forms that capture large amounts of carbon dioxide. Initiatives to plant along the coasts of the United Arab Emirates thousands of plants of the Avicennia Marina species considered special for its characteristics of resistance to high temperatures and high salinity have already been started for some time and it is planned to plant another hundred million by 2030 to get to capture forty-three thousand tons of CO2 per year; the country will host COP28 in December. Mangroves in addition to generally allowing the environment to be restored, stabilize and balance the ecosystem.

The basis for planning new rules to ban disposable plastics is being discussed in Paris with the participation of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Canada with the aim of achieving zero pollution from plastic production by 2040. It is estimated that in 2019 four hundred and sixty million tons of plastic material were produced and in practice in twenty years it has doubled with forecasts that production could triple by 2060 without intervening. Thirds of the plastic ends up in the environment after being used a few times or only one and less than ten percent is recycled, often it is burned incorrectly polluting the air.

Climate models warn that in the next five years it will be likely to exceed the threshold of one and a half Celsius degrees of global temperature increase, it is yet another alarm about the consequences on the planet of this warming caused by uncontrolled emissions from human activities, on its balance and biodiversity and how each fraction of a degree more can constitute a significant difference for large areas; therefore, to avoid catastrophic effects, a rapid switch to renewable energies is necessary. Apparently in addition to Costa Rica where one hundred percent of energy comes from renewable sources, Denmark despite being a producer of fossil fuels is willing to invest in large wind turbines in the North Sea with a new technology for a fast transition to renewables.

Still red alert in Emilia Romagna in Italy

The emergency does not cease in Emilia Romagna region after the flood that damaged about five thousand companies especially in the fruit and vegetable sector and in the region remains red alert where rains do not cease while trying to calculate the damage that are really relevant, there is talk of a devastation comparable figuratively to a kind of tsunami that hit large areas sweeping away stretches of roads, causing hills to collapse, forming piles of debris. Fourteen victims, thirty thousand displaced, tens of thousands of homes left without energy supply and sometimes even drinking water, with communication difficulties and entire areas completely isolated and strong inconvenience for the population, then apparently in the province of Ravenna sometimes food and water are scarce. There are also several weather warnings in some regions for the wave of bad weather affecting the country.

Flooding difficulties in Emilia Romagna in Italy

After twenty-one rivers are flooded due to the breaking of the banks in Emilia Romagna region due to torrential rainfall from tropicalized climate with consequent flooding and flooding of vast areas that would have caused thirteen victims, some missing and over thirteen thousand displaced, or perhaps twenty thousand, there is still talk of a red alert; then the weather forecast announces rains on Marche and Abruzzo where the level of rivers is already very high. The authorities warn to beware of landslides and not to put themselves in dangerous conditions since suddenly they could find themselves overwhelmed by water, mud or landslide (some people have told how they managed to save themselves in a fortuitous way). It is estimated that in Emilia Romagna in two weeks the seven-month rainfall was concentrated due to increasingly evident climate change even if there is no lack of controversy in some cases for the failure to put in some cases for the failure to secure areas repeatedly reported for high risk of hydrogeological instability.

Strong cyclone lashes Myanmar

There would be at least three victims and thousands of people have been displaced in Myanmar due to a strong cyclone called "Mocha" that before lashing the country had caused damage and injuries on the island of S. Martin in Bangladesh. There is talk of power supply interruptions in areas of Myanmar and damaged electrical transformers, towers for the transmission of the telephone signal fallen as well as sunken boats; particularly affected Sittwe township. The authorities sent aid, food and medicine to deal with the emergency, then the researchers warn that warmer seas due to global warming and wind that tends to amplify the phenomenon if it blows in a certain direction could intensify these vortices and make them last for longer periods with devastating consequences especially in very populated coastal areas.

Water wasted for tropical fruits in Spain

To support the cultivation of avocados and mangoes in Spain that require large quantities of water, farmers are forced to use the last water reserves of the country struggling with a severe drought and high temperatures that tend to dry the soil, there is talk of twenty-six arrests for illegal connections to the water network and then in four years of investigations two hundred and fifty between wells and various drillings to capture the precious liquid from the aquifer. Andalusia (known for its strawberry crops) and Donana would be among the areas most affected in Spain by drought and illegal water uses with consequences on biodiversity. Some complain about the lack of public intervention in Catalonia for example to help the agricultural sector hit hard by drought to cope with the emergency and many basins have reached the lowest filling level since 1990.

Floods due to heavy rains in Congo

There would be at least one hundred and seventy-six victims of floods that recently affected large areas east of the Democratic Republic of Congo due to intense rainfall and storms resulting in torrents of mud and debris that destroyed buildings, particularly affected the villages of Bushushu and Nyamukubi in the territory of Kalehe in the province of South Kiwu. There is talk of people forced to sleep outdoors while schools and hospitals are unusable while rescuers have to face painful situations. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the heat wave that hit Vietnam recording a record of over forty-four degrees Celsius in the province in the north-center of the country of Thanh Hoa due to the combination of two factors, impact of a hot low-pressure area from the west and strong Foehn wind effect.

Floods in Rwanda due to torrential rains

There would be at least one hundred and twenty-nine victims in areas west and north of Rwanda due to torrential rains that began last week and consequent floods, for a toll still provisional because the victims continue to increase and according to the authorities it could be the worst disaster recorded in recent years taking into account such a short period of time. The forecasts announce other rains with alert for the population, then in the past people who lived in areas with high hydrogeological risk had been warned to move to safer areas since from January to April for extreme weather phenomena sixty victims had been counted, over twelve hundred homes destroyed and two thousand hectares of crops damaged; then there is talk of heavy rainfall also in Uganda with three victims last week.

Abnormal heat in Spain almost summer

The Spanish authorities would have planned interventions to deal with the anomalous heat wave with forecasts that warn that temperatures could exceed thirty-eight Celsius degrees with values typical of the summer season due to masses of hot and dry air coming from North Africa. Last year for Spain was the warmest year since heat peaks were monitored in 1961 and the sixth driest despite the presence of the global current called "La Nina" which tends to lower global temperatures. There is also talk of problems to support agriculture, for example concerning the olive harvest which could be greatly penalized by drought; in fact, only half of the water reserves usually available are available (twenty-seven percent of the territory is in emergency) and funds have been requested from the European Union to support the sector.

Heat wave in India

There would be dozens of victims for a heat wave that is affecting large areas of India, weather forecasts warn that the country could continue to be hit by heat waves with unbearable temperatures for the population and the authorities even if they have planned a plan to deal with the emergency in reality they will hardly be able to overcome the difficulties that derive from a territory where the pressure of a growing human population is almost unsustainable. On these arguments opinions are varied and in the past some said that the planet can accommodate at least sixteen billion people, while others speak of the sixth mass extinction due to the uncontrolled increase in human population and we are losing biodiversity at a rate never seen in history; then with the overbuilding of the territory a healthy balance of the ecosystem is lacking.

Discovered a coral reef in the Galapagos

A coral reef about two kilometers long would have been discovered in the Galapagos Islands four hundred meters deep off the coast of Ecuador, this is the first time that researchers can observe an uncontaminated coral reef with characteristics of the beginnings of life on the planet with fifty percent of corals in good health, so as to say that the Galapagos are still surprising even if a reef (called Wellington) was already known offshore of Darwin Island, which had well resisted the destructive effects on corals of the global current "El Nino" of 1982 and 1983. This discovery is important globally because many marine systems in the depths are degraded and these corals examined are several thousand years old although there are others problems from a naturalistic point of view in the Galapagos.

Beavers seen as ecosystem builders

Old artificial dams could be replaced or repaired by natural ones built by beavers, at least according to Canadian researchers who consider them ecosystem engineers by increasing biodiversity and a healthy humid environment with positive wide-ranging naturalistic effects as well as constituting useful vital water reserves. These projects are still in the planning phase using monitored data models to identify areas where efforts can be concentrated, for example where decades-old dams show signs of subsidence by properly reproducing beavers and controlling dam water levels. Also in Canada changing the subject some say they imitate the Swedes who have reduced polluting emissions by replacing boilers to heat homes powered by fossil fuels with heat pumps (powered by energy obtained from sustainable sources).

Controls in Canada on power lines and bird flu

Difficulty in Canada to restore damaged power lines during the recent wave of bad weather characterized by a storm of freezing rain, there is talk of another victim (tinkering with a generator in the garage) and eleven people intoxicated by carbon monoxide released by barbecues powered by coal to keep warm. The authorities warn to be careful with the use of barbecues to heat and cook in the absence of electricity also because it is difficult to notice the danger, while some say that power lines should be secured to prevent disruptions from occurring again. As far as avian influenza controls for an epidemic with a high rate of pathogenicity that shows no signs of abating with an estimated seven million birds infected, then the virus has also affected and killed other species of animals.

Deforestation EU rules assessments

Although the new European regulations to curb uncontrolled deforestation were welcomed with controls on the production chain starting from its initial stages that push the cutting of trees to feed it, some environmentalists have pointed out that these are unilateral initiatives and not effective enough to prevent and really reduce deforestation; then apparently they only refer to the conversion of natural forest into land for agricultural exploitation and not to that for planting timber trees and for the construction of infrastructure. Many European countries do not produce coffee, cocoa, rubber, soy, palm oil and this could cause a problem of competition on global markets for the production of these goods; without considering for example the issue due to overbuilding with consequent consumption of land.

Trail of destruction after tornadoes in U.S. Midwest

It would have increased to at least thirty-two the death toll caused by tornadoes that lashed several states in the south of the United States: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Delaware, Mississippi and Alabama. There is talk of a trail of destruction left by strong vortices with destroyed houses, roofs uncovered, various means of transport and planes overturned or damaged, large trees uprooted and thrown by gusts of wind against houses; then many people were injured by debris detached from homes while rescuers try to bring help to the affected populations. Authorities have declared a state of "major disaster" for Arkansas by allocating funds for reconstruction. Weather forecasts announce that the wave of bad weather even with strong vortices could continue and affect other states.

Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes a leak of hydrocarbons from a pipeline in the sea (two hundred barrels eighty-five percent of water and fifteen of heavy oil) in the port Poole harbour in Owers Bay of Dorset in Great Britain, a large processing point for hydrocarbons in the country; some say it is important to contain the loss in the early stages of intervention to avoid ecological damage.

Grasslands useful for absorbing CO2

Unlike forests that absorb carbon dioxide from leaves and store it in trunks in grasslands the same capture mechanism occurs from grass to soil, at least according to a study by Canadian researchers who complain that every year over a million hectares of native grasslands are lost replaced by crops and urbanized human settlements (with a loss over the years of over seventy percent throughout Canada); then this destructive process very harmful to the ecosystem also takes place in the rest of the world. Grasslands should be protected considering that vegetable crops ensure earnings but do not allow carbon dioxide to be stored in the soil and release a lot of it into the atmosphere. The question remains whether climate change will continue to ensure rain and water sources for grasslands.

Earthquake in Pakistan and Afghanistan

There would be at least ten victims in Pakistan due to an earthquake of magnitude 6.5 with epicenter identified about forty kilometers south-southeast of Jurm in Afghanistan in a mountainous area of Hindukush on the border with Tajikistan where the earthquake was felt clearly and there is talk of injuries and generally panic in the population. There have been areas that have been particularly affected by earthquakes and houses have swayed fearfully enough to cause shocks in those who lived there forcing them to go to the hospital for treatment, then many remained out of fear in open places away from buildings.

Difficulties in Malawi due to a strong cyclone

The authorities of Malawi would have asked for international aid to deal with the emergency caused by the effects on the country by the strong cyclone "Freddy" that lashed large areas south of Africa with torrential rainfall and consequent landslides and floods in recent days; there is talk of over three hundred and twenty victims in Malawi (many of them in Blantyre the second most populated city in the country) where a state of emergency has been declared with over one hundred and eighty-three thousand people evacuated. At least seventy-three victims in Mozambique and seventeen in Madagascar caused by this very long-lasting cyclone due to the warming of the oceans that are intensifying the power and duration of these vortices. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the controversy regarding the U.S. plan for massive drilling in Alaska.

Unprecedented levels of plastic in the oceans

It is estimated that one hundred and seventy trillion pieces of plastic of which most microscopic float on the surface of the oceans and released largely since 2005, so much so that researchers say that these are levels of pollution unprecedented for about fifteen years with amounts underestimated in previous surveys. It is feared that the plastic that ends up in the sea may continue to increase in the coming years and how it is necessary to promote measures to limit microplastic pollution that ends up in the food chain with evidently not very positive consequences on health that has been investigated for some time. It seems that even if we proceed to collect plastic to recycle it, then in reality a low percentage is really recycled and the only solution is to quickly switch to the use of biodegradable plastic obtained from plants.

Impact of Australia's fires on the ozone hole

One study would have found an increase in the ozone hole over Antarctica by ten percent due to a chemical reaction caused by the disastrous fires that destroyed entire eucalyptus forests in Australia from late 2019 to 2020 by immersing Sydney and other cities in a thick pall of smoke and particulates; researchers fear that tons of fumes released by fires during prolonged fires could undermine efforts to close the ozone hole and protect against harmful UV rays. It has been noted in the past that increased space travel can impact ozone layers due to emissions released during rocket launch. It should be noted completely changing the subject that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been disconnected from the electricity grid and is powered by generators with ten days of autonomy due to the conflict in Ukraine.

Droughts and heat waves in large parts of Europe

After the torrid summer of last year, many rivers and lakes are suffering in large areas of Europe due to the persistence of drought and due to winter heat waves (with temperatures much higher than the average for the period), particularly affected for example Italy, France and Spain. The French authorities have already banned in some departments from using water to water gardens, wash cars and fill swimming pools; then similar measures were taken for Spain. In addition to the agricultural sector, which will be hit hard if innovative techniques are not used for water storage and irrigation, the decline in hydroelectric power production will have to be taken into account. In the latter case in theory the falling water could be channeled into reservoirs during the night and returned to the top with photovoltaic energy during the day.

Too many non-recyclable fishing nets lost at sea

Every year it happens to some fishermen to lose their nets in the sea due to an adverse weather event or because the nets get caught with others tangling, so as to reach a total of eighty thousand square kilometers of lost nets constituting about ten percent of all the plastic that pollutes the seas. Being a long net very expensive it is also a major economic loss for the fisherman, then continues to catch fish that remain asphyxiated and poses a threat to the entire ecosystem. If recovered it is difficult to recycle because of the debris that accumulates in the mesh, so biodegradable nets should be manufactured. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that the icy wave of bad weather in the United States has reached California causing inconvenience as well as unusual scenarios for this state.

Alarming drought in many Italian regions

It is estimated that even if it rains it will be difficult to cope with an unprecedented water crisis especially in the northern regions where in February the level of rivers and lakes is in many cases as in August; in fact, the glaciers are suffering and so are many large lakes such as Lake Garda which alone represents about forty percent of the country's drinking water reserves and will soon begin the irrigation season. The Alps have accumulated less than half of normal snowfall, and the Po River has a water flow that is more than sixty percent lower than normal. In Venice recently the canals were dry and not navigable, in an unusual scenario for the season, probably due to a series of factors such as lack of rain, high pressure, full moon and the action of sea currents.

The living conditions of people left homeless in Turkey are becoming more difficult every day and international organizations say that it is urgent to get aid to avoid a humanitarian crisis; in fact, for many everything is missing (tents, blankets, food, medicines and a minimum of hygiene). In the meantime there is talk of over forty-six thousand victims, including Syria, with rescuers still extracting people eleven days after the devastating earthquake, but some risk losing their lives to infections due to the lack of disinfectants and health personnel for basic care. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the request of the inhabitants of many inhabitants of the city of East Palestine in Ohio in the U.S. to verify the actual potability of water and air quality after a spill of toxic substances due to a railway derailment.

There would be at least three victims in New Zealand due to the passage of the "Gabrielle" cyclone that left a trail of devastation in the areas affected by the strong vortex so much so that the authorities declared a state of emergency, the third time in the history of the country. There is talk of floods with many in difficulty climbing on roofs to save themselves and strong gusts of wind that have forced thousands of people to leave their homes as well as farms swept away, lack of energy supply, bridges and flooded roads even if the weather situation is improving; but not yet completely out of danger for example for the high level of some rivers.

Rescuers are engaged in a sort of race against time to be able to rescue the people trapped under the rubble of the many buildings collapsed in Turkey and Syria after the devastating earthquake that would have caused over eleven thousand victims. There is talk of an intense cold that could compromise the vital functions of those who can not move, then there is the problem of any diseases transmitted by the deceased and poor hygienic conditions. Controversy over the construction quality of buildings that have crumbled and the lack of aid in Syria (partly due to conflicts that have affected the country for many years).

An earthquake quantifiable of magnitude between 7.4 and 7.9 on the border between Turkey and Syria with its epicenter near Gaziantep and Malatya (south-east of Anatolia) followed by replicas of which a particularly strong and seismic swarm would have caused over three thousand victims, over seven thousand injured and panic among the population that poured into the streets in the cold; there is talk of collapsed buildings with rescuers busy digging through the rubble, then it seems that the cathedral of Iskendurn was very damaged. The tsunami alert in Italy has returned, which in a first phase had caused the suspension of some railway connections as a precaution.

Movements of wild boars to be restricted in Italy

Due to cases of swine fever in some wild boars first occurred in Lazio, then in other regions and lately especially in Liguria there would be a risk of increasing infections throughout the country if do not proceed to limit the movement of animals for example with nets and other bollards, while the killing measures that the hunters themselves consider unmanageable remain questionable. It is also necessary not to leave waste unattended and not to feed wild boars as well as avoid frequenting areas where animals try to feed. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the impact on flora and fauna of the conflict in Ukraine; in fact, for example, exotic animals kept as domestics have escaped control then if an explosive device falls it injures and stuns animals often condemned to a slow and painful agony.

Use of low-quality fuels in Iran

The air would be unbreathable in Iran at the power plants that are burning instead of gas that is scarce a low-quality fuel based on heavy hydrocarbons called "mazut" because of the PM2.5 PM10 particulate matter that emanates from the chimneys due to the difficult combustion of this fossil oil. A cold wave is hitting the country paralyzing the population with sub-zero temperatures forcing according to some to the use of mazut despite the authorities deny its use, but the thick white smoke with decidedly unhealthy effects that comes out of the chimneys of the plants seems to be clearly visible from satellites. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues other emergencies such as floods in Auckland in New Zealand with three victims and an icy polar vortex that is investing several Asian countries with record peaks of cold in China.

Heavy snow hinders connections in Japan

An unusual front of cold weather and extreme low pressure characterized by intense snowfall would have hindered connections in Japan with for example hundreds of train cancellations and inconvenience for people sometimes staying overnight in stations, then there is talk of one victim plus two others that are being investigated if they are not due to the wave of bad weather. The snow is defined as particularly heavy especially in the areas of the country bordering the Sea of Japan with the city of Maniwa in the west with a record of ninety-three centimeters of snow cover in one day. A cargo ship sailing between Japan and South Korea sank apparently due to strong winds from the storm and thirteen of the twenty-two crew members were rescued, while the search for the remaining missing continues.

Planting a small forest near Paris

Using a Japanese method defined as pioneering, volunteers try to take root the seedlings to grow a small forest in a suburb of Paris in order to mitigate the effects of climate change on the metropolis that is also a reserve of biodiversity able to cope with, for example, the increasingly frequent heat waves. Some say that there is not enough research on this method that in addition to being expensive has a rather low survival rate for trees. It should be noted that lately we are trying to develop new methods of rooting for trees since they find themselves growing in conditions relatively different from those of just a decade ago, then compared to the needs of the planet to face deforestation it would be necessary to plant a huge number of trees, but without there being the real availability in garden centers.

Request for funds and environmental aid in Malaysia

The authorities of Malaysia grappling with an increasingly pressing environmental crisis due to frequent floods and fires against the forest with clouds of smoke that emanate from the vegetation that burns and make the air unbreathable would like to ask for funds and global aid allocated to deal with the effects of climate change, at least according to the statements of environmentalists. Intervening in works useful for the conservation and restoration of forest, wetlands, naturalistic balance and biodiversity could be more useful than building concrete works such as drainage tunnels if want to avoid floods and also to mitigate the increase in temperatures and extreme events. The country's goal would be to achieve zero emissions by 2050 and funds have already been allocated previously for the protection of forests and marine areas.

Bad weather and wind in some Italy regions

A wave of bad weather characterized by lowering temperatures, rain and strong wind is affecting some regions of Italy, for example in Campania in Naples a scaffolding collapsed from a building (without causing victims, but shortly before cars passed), then trees uprooted also in Benevento with damage and inconvenience for road traffic, difficulties for navigation due to strong waves and storm surges, evacuations in Ischia; damages in Lazio and two homeless victims of cold, there is also talk of alert in Molise, Basilicata and Calabria. In the northern regions of the country temperatures have dropped a lot and it could snow at low altitude, while for the mountains it is a "breath of fresh air" for winter sports tour operators struggling with a very hot average season compared to the norm with little snow that has forced to adopt in some cases expensive snowmaking techniques.

There would be at least six victims in Alabama due to a tornado that also caused serious damage with walls of collapsed houses, roofs uncovered, overturned cars and uprooted trees; particularly affected is the town of Selma (a city historically known for promoting the civil rights movement) with about eighteen thousand residents eighty kilometers west of the state capital Montgomery. There is also talk of emergency in Georgia for strong vortices and in Kentucky an EF-1 tornado caused damage in Mercer County. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the discovery in Sweden of a large deposit of rare earths useful for the ecological transition in the north of the country near Karuna, but some say that it will probably take years before they are actually available on the market because in the past it was preferred to invest in fossil fuels.

Earthquake in East Timor in Indonesia

A quantifiable earthquake of magnitude 7.6 with its epicenter in the depths of the Ocean off East Timor in Indonesia would have caused at least one injury, damaged homes and caused the population to flee in panic both in the east of the island of Timor and in the archipelago of Maluku and Papua. There is talk of at least fifteen houses and two schools damaged on the island of Tanimbar, then the strongest shock was felt in the city of eight thousand inhabitants of Saumlaki (the most populous of the archipelago). An initial tsunami warning returned, then came news that the earthquake was felt in Darwin capital of the territories north of Australia. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues discomfort and breathing difficulties in New Delhi and other vast areas of India due to a dense fog partly favored by a wave of cold and pollution.

Strong cyclone affects California

A storm vortex characterized by strong wind and torrential rainfall would have affected California, where a state of emergency was declared to support and deal with the damage of the extreme phenomenon, with the danger of flooding and landslides occurring in areas already saturated with water due to previous recent storms (with one victim). For example there is talk of alerts for the population issued by the authorities in San Francisco, with programming through an emergency operations center, and Sacramento; then distributed thousands of sandbags [.. two victims and also interruptions of supply electricity for many utilities]. It is possible according to weather forecasts that this condition of anomalous climatic instability with rapid drops in atmospheric pressure continues, therefore adding the effects on the territory of storms with a lot of rain and wind while in others areas of the United States the problem is constituted by drought.

Italy disfigured by climate change

A disastrous year regarding climate change for Italy with heat waves and a summer drought that has left a deep mark on the territory so much so that for example the level of many Lombard lakes is still very low and in particular the situation is worrying for the Garda Lake; then there is talk of a decrease in water reserves in the aquifers, a record heat on average in 2022 since this type of data was recorded and over three hundred extreme events, a sharp increase with twenty-nine victims. By now we must get used to facing storms with consequent flooding, hailstorms with damage to crops and sheet metal or plastic roofs, gusts of wind that uproot trees and more fragile structures, coasts erosion and marine heat waves, rapid glaciers fusion, tornadoes and sometimes even tropical storms with tornadoes that hardly affected the peninsula in the past.

Heavy snowfall in Japan

Would be seventeen the victims and over ninety injured in Japan due to unusual snowfall and three times above average for the season in the north-east of the country, hundreds of vehicles were blocked by the thick snow cover that accumulated on the highways; then there is talk of delays due to difficult movements and twenty thousand homes left without electricity supply. Many of the victims fell while trying to shovel snow from rooftops and were later buried by the large mass of snow that continued to slide from rooftops. To be noted shifting attention to other scenarios the anomalous heat in large areas in the south in Italy and with records (for the end of December) in Sardinia of twenty-five degrees Celsius due to an anticyclone of African origin, it seems that in Bari some have bathed in the sea.

Difficulties in the U.S. for icy cyclone

The atmospheric pressure dropped very quickly due to an icy storm especially in the area of the Great Lakes in the United States with intense cold, gusts of wind and snow is an extreme phenomenon that is putting the population in difficulty. There is talk of emergency for the state of New York and generally very low temperatures in the country with over two hundred million people who have received some kind of alert warning for adverse weather conditions, then over one million four hundred thousand homes and businesses would have remained without electricity supply. Chaos in transport and movements in some cases impossible due to closed airports and cancellations of thousands of flights, many trucks and cars went off the road due to the snowy and icy road surface (over ten victims and some injured); then the freezing cold is dangerous if get stuck.

More funds to protect biodiversity

In a conference held in Montreal, Canada, to protect biodiversity, the least developed countries would have asked for the allocation of more financial resources to the highly industrialized ones (and more responsible for a loss of biodiversity considered disastrous) to achieve this goal, with various complaints from countries such as Brazil that dragged dozens of other countries to abandon the debate in a perhaps provocative attitude to highlight how small the sum allocated so far. For example Costa Rica which has already invested many internal resources in the ecosystem with taxation of fossil fuels and reinvesting the funds obtained from environmental protection, doubling to fifty-three percent from 1986 to 2013 the coverage of forests and at the forefront in the world for the exploitation of renewable energy, could also protect the Ocean with greater resources.

Landslide in the Democratic Republic of Congo

There would be at least one hundred and twenty victims in Kinshasa for landslides caused by heavy rainfall that overwhelmed several homes, then entire blocks were flooded by torrents of mud with traffic problems also for the N1 motorway that connects the capital with the main port of the country in Matadi. There is talk of a provisional death toll (some sources say they counted one hundred and forty-one) while waiting for the controls to reach other departments affected by the wave of bad weather in the large metropolis that counts fifteen million people, once a fishing village on the Congo River and then grown out of all proportion without a master plan making the big city vulnerable to storms that have become more frequent due to climate change with consequent significant economic damage.

Readapting urban life to a natural environment

To face a serious biodiversity crisis that goes hand in hand with climate change, we should try to readapt urban life to naturalistic environments by reducing the human impact due to urbanization. It is possible, for example, to dig tunnels under roads that allow wild animals to cross them without risk and thus restoring migratory routes, then removing and redesigning dams, reintroducing predatory animals such as wolves that can keep the ecosystem in balance. Some of these attempts have already been made in some countries where the cemented banks of rivers have been removed by restoring a more natural path that allows with boulders, floodplain areas rich in vegetation with expansion tanks and other adequate works also to absorb the floods caused by increasingly frequent storms.

Volcanic eruption in Indonesia

The Indonesian authorities would have forbidden access to an eight-kilometer area on Mount Semeru and evacuated entire villages (about two thousand five hundred people) following a violent volcanic eruption, but there is no mention of injuries and victims even if the high alert remains East Java and rescue teams are verifying the damage in the areas most affected by the earthquake. Last year Mount Semeru erupted causing over fifty victims and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people. It should be noted that in West Java an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 with its epicenter about two hundred kilometers from the capital Jakarta shook the buildings causing an injury and some damage; last month a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in the Cainjur regency also in the West Java had caused over three hundred victims, many injured and significant damage.

At least thirty people are rescued by rescuers who have to operate with difficulty due to bad weather conditions, then they try to use drones equipped with cameras that detect heat to identify the missing. There could be delays in the delivery of goods traveling by truck if this highway towards the port of Paranagua, the second largest in the country for the export of wheat and sugar, were to remain closed to the passage of heavy vehicles.

More bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef

In May over ninety percent of the corals were damaged and bleached due to a prolonged summer heat wave, at least according to the monitoring carried out by the Australian authorities who claim that it is the first time that this happens during the cycle of the global current "La Nina" which usually for its action tends to detect lower ocean temperatures; therefore the Great Barrier Reef should be added to the list of World Heritage Sites at Risk (for evaluation of international organizations) since its resilience is substantially compromised. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that has increased to three hundred and twenty-one the death toll of the earthquake in the regency of Cianjur in West Java, then there is talk of over sixty-two thousand houses damaged and seventy-three thousand evacuated.

Landslide in Ischia in Italy due to a storm

Heavy rainfall would have caused the detachment of a landslide mass from Mount Epomeo that partly affected the villages of Casamicciola and Lacco Ameno in Ischia; there is talk of seven victims, five missing, four injured and fifteen houses damaged, then cars overturned or transported to the sea. Rescuers dig in the mud in search of people who may have been overwhelmed by the landslide while there is no shortage of controversy regarding the failure to secure the area from where it broke off with large boulders rolled up to inhabited centers; in fact, it seems that in the past there had been detachments of landslide material that characterizes the volcanic island. Until recently it seems that there were many tourists thanks to the unusual mild temperatures for the period, but at the same time it means energy accumulated by an increasingly warm sea with consequent risk of extreme phenomena.

Erosion of very vulnerable Italian coasts

The high storms that characterized the wave of bad weather that crossed Italy eroded the coasts, destroyed bathing establishments and caused extensive damage in particular to the Veneto region, Lazio and Campania; two victims in the latter case. For example Veneto has requested a state of emergency and if the mobile bulkheads have saved Venice from high water, in Bibione there have been complaints because apparently the sea water level has risen precisely as a result of that kind of expensive dam (already obsolete and partly corroded) built on the Venice lagoon. For some time some denounced how the sand dunes that in some points protect the coasts from erosion are disappearing also due to a tourism that does not respect the vegetation and biodiversity that characterizes them and some administrations have put a ban on walking among the dunes.

Currently achieving climate neutrality by 2050 for Australia is considered an unambitious choice by global standards, but almost a revolution given the choices made previously even if it must be noted that the long series of extreme weather events that have affected some areas of the country with vast floods followed by periods of severe drought and disastrous fires may have played a role. Australians' climate footprint is among the highest in the world, so a shift to greener lifestyles is clearly also needed.

Weather forecasts warn that the vortex that is currently about five hundred kilometers from Palm Beach could strengthen. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that it will be difficult to achieve the objectives set to reduce polluting emissions due to the poor conditions of the global economy with rising inflation and contraction of growth in many countries, but without considering that this poor state of economic health is largely caused by climate change taking place on the planet with ever-increasing costs to face.

Many complain that the targets that had been set in the past for the reduction of polluting emissions have not been met and in 2021 the peak of greenhouse gas and climate-changing emissions has reached a new record making it almost impossible to prevent global temperatures from increasing on average by more than one and a half degrees Celsius.

Large global financial institutions that invest unscrupulously in the agricultural, forestry and land use sectors would be the main culprits of deforestation in 2021, at least according to a study that highlights the need to adopt more transparent regulations crucial for the protection of biodiversity and to avoid a climate crisis that is now very serious. Among the sectors cited in the study that continue to benefit from increasing sums to support deforestation are the paper and pulp industry in Indonesia and the meat industry in Brazil; in the latter case to obtain land instead of trees for breeding, but evidently a consequence of the increasing demand for meat (unhealthy food unhealthy and unsustainable for the planet) of the markets.

The large landslide hit the central area of Las Tejerias due to the flooding of five streams and dozens of people are still trapped as rescuers try to rescue them with the help of drones and dogs trained to find the missing, then there is talk of a bridge damaged by the flood of mud and debris that has reached large areas where there have also been interruptions in the supply of electricity and drinking water. In recent weeks torrential rains have caused flooding in eleven of Venezuela's twenty-three states. to report shifting the attention to other scenarios damages for the "Julia" hurricane in Nicaragua.

Very rainy time for Sydney

The torrential rainfall monitored in Sydney is about to exceed the record set in 1950 with the heavy downpours predicted in the coming days by the weather forecast, considering that many dams and rivers are already at the limits of their holding capacities and some rural areas would have already been flooded; then the entire east coast of Australia is subject to very rainy periods that last for years due to the global current called the "Nina" that has caused flooding in the suburbs of Sydney three times in the last two years forcing tens of thousands of people to leave their homes. Authorities have warned Sydney residents to be careful of any flash flooding by keeping away from water-flooded streets, and in New South Wales the wall of the Warragamba Dam that supplies eighty percent of water to the city of Sydney is rising.

More leaks from Nord Stream 2 pipeline

In Sweden methane leaks from the Nord Stream 2 pipeline have increased, at least according to Statements by the Coast Guard that report a leak of about thirty meters in the pipe laid in the bottom of the Baltic Sea that brings gas from Russia to Europe. Previously it seemed that the leak had stopped and that the ecological damage was all in all contained (regarding a possible further overheating of the planet) even if it was difficult to quantify the actual extent of the loss of the altering climate gas. Lately the energy crisis in Europe is threatening the ecological transition and efforts to keep global warming below one and a half Celsius degrees; in fact, it will be necessary to use greater quantities of coal even if it is hoped that the crisis can push for a more careful use of energy sources by focusing on renewables.

A hurricane approaches Mexico

The hurricane called "Orlene" is about to hit the coasts of Mexico and could be quite dangerous even if it has been downgraded from category four to three and according to weather forecasts it should lose further strength when it touches land in the southwest of the country heading inland. The authorities are considering whether to evacuate tourists from resorts on the beaches and set up temporary shelters (considering that in October 1997 the category four hurricane "Paulina" caused over two hundred victims). It should be noted remaining on the subject of hurricanes that in Florida the death toll of Hurricane "Ian" has increased to fifty-eight, then four victims in North Carolina and three previously in Cuba; heavy damage left by the strong vortex with destroyed houses, power lines and bridges damaged, considerable inconvenience for the population.

Hurricane damage in Florida and Puerto Rico

The hurricane called "Ian" according to the Florida authorities would be the worst in centuries for the country, there is talk of over ten victims and significant damage in the country while rescuers try to reach thousands of people trapped in their homes with boats; in fact, despite the vortex downgraded as power has passed the water continues to rise in level. As for Puerto Rico about half of the energy and water distribution grid was damaged by Hurricane "Fiona" with hundreds of thousands of people left without electricity supply of drinking water although the authorities say that some essential services will soon be guaranteed. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the large amount of gas leaking from the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea probably due to sabotage.

Record heat in summer for the Mediterranean

The temperatures monitored in the Mediterranean Sea during the summer have been very high with heat waves as on earth, there is also talk of five Celsius degrees above the norm with devastating consequences on biodiversity so much so that coral forests and red-violet gorgonians now appear devoid of their coloring as skeletons as if they were leafless trees. Particularly affected are the coasts of southern France, Spain and Italy with temperatures that would have reached thirty Celsius degrees and it is feared that corals will not be able to regenerate (depending on the depth) as happens after a forest fire on earth, but with changed climatic conditions. Human activities related to fishing with nets and anchors that damage the seabed are also under accusation, then divers who are not careful to respect the delicate structures of coral forests.

Damage in Canada due to downgraded hurricane

Although the hurricane called "Fiona" had been downgraded to a tropical storm (pushed from the Caribbean where it caused at least five victims really far north) it caused considerable damage in addition to a victim at Port aux Basques, then evacuations and discomforts with cases of strong stress and mental confusion for a fairly unexpected event. There is talk about people trying to use every useful object to dig to try to recover something from the mass of debris and mud that has accumulated after the strong vortex has destroyed hundreds of homes and thousands of utilities are still without electricity supply due to the fall of the poles that provide energy. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues other strong vortices recently in Japan (with victims) and in the Philippines.

Hurricane Fiona approaches Canada

After lashing Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic leaving on many Caribbean islands a trail of devastation the hurricane called "Fiona" approaches Canada and the authorities warn the population to prepare to face the effects of the strong vortex, for example do not wait for the last one to go take essential items since it will be appropriate to stay at home on alert well prepared to avoid flooding on the roads, debris and falling trees. The Category four hurricane is expected to lose strength as it approaches the coasts of Canada (at least according to weather forecasts), but always remains dangerous with interruptions in electricity supply over large areas, floods and significant damage. Hundreds of thousands of people in Puerto Rico are still without electricity two days after the passage of the hurricane assessed at that time as category three.

Earthquake in Mexico, typhoon damage in Japan

An earthquake quantifiable of magnitude between 7.4 and 7.6, with its epicenter thirty-seven kilometers southeast of the town of Aquila at a depth of fifteen kilometers, shook the west of Mexico causing panic hundreds of kilometers away from Mexico City, there is talk of a victim overwhelmed by debris fallen from a building in Manzanillo in the state of Colima. As for Japan the typhoon "Nanmadol" would have caused four victims, one missing and at least one hundred and fourteen wounded (fourteen in serious condition); then forced to evacuate thousands of people with damage and inconvenience for the population. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the poor cotton harvest in Texas due to a long drought aggravated by climate change with cascading consequences on the entire textile sector at a global level.

A storm approaches Alaska

A vortex consisting of the tail of the typhoon called "Merbok" would be about to hit Alaska at least according to weather forecasts that warn how it could be one of the worst in recent history with effects noticeable even at a great distance; in practice the warm air masses of the ex-typhoon affect the jet streams, then also the sea temperatures are unusually warm fueling the storm. There are fears of possible flooding and disruptions in energy supplies (for the sparsely populated regions of Alaska) and the authorities warn to put themselves in a safe position. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the controversy in Italy after the floods in the Marche (eleven victims) for the non-use of the funds allocated for the hydrogeological instability and the lack in some cases of weather alert alerts for the population.

Fires in British Columbia in Canada

A vast fire caused by lightning has burned large areas of vegetation in British Columbia forcing over a thousand people to leave their homes in the community of Hudson's Hope, then particularly affected the area of Battleship Mountain in the north-east of the province where about two hundred and eighty square kilometers of vegetation have gone up in smoke; moreover, there is talk of other uncontrolled outbreaks with flames lapping on important energy infrastructure and rather low air quality due to the clouds of smoke that emanate from the fires. The climatic conditions with heat and rather dry vegetation have favored the spread of flames (from one hundred and sixty-two active outbreaks recorded) and there have been closures in some points of roads and difficulties for mobility even for a large highway, then partially reopened; authorities monitor air quality in affected areas.

Bad weather with storms in some Italy areas

A wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall, gusts of wind, hailstorms and sometimes even storms with tornadoes has affected some areas in Italy, particularly affected the city of Livorno where there is talk of uprooted trees and many large branches at risk of falling, then Civitavecchia affected by a whirlwind (and always for a strong vortex but with less damage Peschiera on Lake Garda). In Trentino floods and landslides in areas already affected by landslides of masses of debris and mud, then damage in the province of Como and Biella for example the roofs of some greenhouses were uncovered and photovoltaic panels were damaged. To report changing scenery but remaining on naturalistic issues the storms with risk of flooding in mountainous areas in the south-west of China where rescuers were looking for missing for a recent earthquake, the death toll would have risen to eighty-two.

Heat waves in China, floods in India

Temperatures monitored in China in August would have been the highest since this type of data is recorded; moreover, the south of the country has been hit by a heat wave defined as one of the worst in global history with areas of Sichuan province and the metropolis of Chongqing in the grip for days of temperatures at over forty degrees Celsius. As far as India there is talk of floods in the Bangalore area caused by monsoon rains of unusual intensity that have submerged technological activities (the so-called startups), roads and homes; then there were interruptions in the supply of electricity and drinking water. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues some victims for the passage of typhoon Hinnamnor in South Korea.

Vast wildfires in California

The California authorities would have declared a state of emergency due to fires spread from rural areas in large areas favored in part by high temperatures for a heat wave that is affecting the country, there is also talk of evacuations, of road closures and requests to the population to reduce the use of air conditioners so as not to overload the electricity grid. Teams of firefighters try to contain the flames and some of them have been hospitalized then sometimes the houses are surrounded by fire making the situation more difficult; Los Angeles County is particularly affected by the fires. Of note, shifting attention to other countries of the United States, the water emergency due to lack of drinking water for about one hundred and eighty thousand people around the city of Jackson in Mississippi due to failures in the operation of wastewater treatment plants.

Rise in the seas higher than expected

It is estimated that the rapid melting of Greenland's ice could cause the seas to rise by at least twenty-seven centimeters more than twice the forecasts made previously, in practice due to a fragmentation of large blocks of ice not cooled adequately by the ice mass from which they tend to detach. This phenomenon could raise the seas by the end of the century even of seventy-eight centimeters even regardless of the scenario related to greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the record of fires recently monitored in the Amazon, almost triple those of the so-called day of fire in August 2019 in which farmers and breeders burned the trees with a coordinated action to make way for their activities.

Pakistan in trouble due to monsoon rains

The Pakistani authorities are finding difficult to cope with the emergency of flooding caused by monsoon rains of unusual intensity. There is talk of dozens of victims lately after the toll since the beginning of the monsoon season would have exceeded one thousand victims and affected thirty million people; then the research continues in the mountainous areas of the country that are difficult to reach. Controversy over how it was possible to build homes in areas at high risk of flooding that inevitably were destroyed or seriously damaged and on the poor planning of interventions useful for environmental protection. Climate change on the planet is causing monsoon rains, which usually allow soils to remain fertile and lakes to rise in levels, increasingly destructive by flooding crops and killing livestock.

Climate impact of the Ukraine conflict

The contamination of soil and water is one of the consequences of the six months of conflict in Ukraine with a serious threat to biodiversity, at least according to the statements of ecologists who highlight how a Russian tank can bring from five hundred to one thousand six hundred liters of hydrocarbons and sometimes it happens that there are liquid leaks in the tanks in addition to those of lubricants (which contain lead, other heavy metals, volatile organic substances..) which ends up polluting the soil, air and water; then the country is very industrialized with storage of processing residues in tanks that can end up in the crosshairs of attackers as sensitive targets. In Ukraine there are many rare plants that risk for example to be burned by fires, then migratory birds stop in the country especially in coastal natural areas that may be less hospitable.

Heavy rains in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Heavy monsoon rainfall would have affected areas of eastern Afghanistan as well as of neighboring Pakistan, there is talk of several victims and injured while rescuers are still looking for any missing (people surprised in their homes by the floods). Particularly affected is the Khushi district in the Logar province south of Afghanistan's capital Kabul where some speak of unprecedented floods that have destroyed homes, crops, animal shelters so much so that farmers have been forced to take refuge in the mountains. In Pakistan thousands of people have been rescued and the weather forecast announces more rain. Last week storms hit areas north of Afghanistan causing over thirty victims and dozens missing.

Bad weather in Italy and Corsica

There would be two victims and eighteen injured in Italy due to a wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall, gusts of wind, hailstorms and even tornadoes. Two people were overwhelmed by fallen trees in Tuscany, then there is talk of tornadoes including one in Venice that has detached fragments of brick from the famous bell tower of San Marco and one in the province of Ferrara. In Liguria a kind of tropical disturbance has flown away sunbeds, umbrellas and cabins (also ended up on the tracks hindering the movement of trains), uncovered roofs, damaged bathing facilities. In Corsica (in France) there is talk of six victims and some injured, mainly tourists on holiday hit by strong vortices of wind with violent gusts and intense rain; then the weather forecast announces bad weather.

Aid to France to extinguish fires

After the request for help to the European countries of the French authorities to face the fires that in several outbreaks are devouring the vegetation of the country, firefighting aircraft and firefighters teams would have been sent to support the French teams exhausted due to the fight with very high flames that sometimes produce their own wind that is released from the fire for the heat. There is talk of progress in containing the fire in the Gironde in the south-east on the Atlantic and no further evacuations of people have been ordered even if the situation is still complicated. The fire that began again in July near Bordeaux has destroyed about fourteen thousand hectares of forest of pine trees rather dried up due to drought and heat waves that have long affected the country, then there is talk lately of another seven thousand four hundred hectares gone up in smoke in fires perhaps malicious.

Fires in France, Spain and Portugal

France is unable to control a fire that had already burned over ten thousand hectares of vegetation in the Gironde; there is now talk of about ten thousand people evacuated while very high flames, probably of malicious origin on which the authorities are investigating, which produce their own wind in a black-orange sky have devoured almost six thousand two hundred hectares of forest mainly of pine trees in a characteristic tourist area of great naturalistic value (temporarily closed the road to Bordeaux), then in the country there are also other outbreaks. As far as Spain fire brigades are engaged in containing the flames in Extremadura region also in this case already hard hit by vast fires favored in part by drought with rather dry vegetation, wind and high temperatures; similar difficulties also in Portugal at Covilha.

Difficult drilling of glaciers

Alpine glaciers are melting so rapidly that researchers are unable to correctly carry out the coring that allows to collect historical data relating to previous eras; in fact, by studying the composition of the ice it is possible to reconstruct in a model elaborated by computers the climate of a distant past as well as having valuable information on trapped organisms and making a kind of virtual journey back in time. Needless to say that the ice of the Arctic is also retreating quickly due to strong heat waves and lately also those of Antarctica (it seems to be seven percent after a period of somewhat fluctuating trend regarding the melting of the ice). To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a fire perhaps arson near Albenga in Liguria region in Italy that has devoured four hundred hectares of vegetation.

Torrential rains in northern Japan

Intense rainfall affected a large area of northern Japan and in particular the Niigata prefectures (where over five hundred millimeters of rain fell in twenty-four hours), Ishikawa and Jamagata and the authorities would have declared maximum alert for some areas; there is talk of three missing and about five hundred thousand people evacuated, then damaged bridges, flooded roads and a portion of the Shinkansen high-speed line suspended. A residential area was submerged by the flooding of the Mogami River; in addition, a Yamagata chip industry had to suspend production and there were other difficulties due to lack of electricity supply and flooding. More rainfall is expected even if it should be possible to return to normal with the intervention of special rescue teams.

The estimates of international organizations hypothesize in the coming decades even over one hundred and forty million migrants due to climate change while already now millions of people in the world are ready to leave given the worsening of living conditions due to drought, increase in food and energy costs; then must take into account the effects of conflicts with a consequent increase in the prices of fertilizers, fuels, agricultural tools useful for the survival of entire populations. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the initiative suggested by Spanish authorities to save on the energy consumption of air conditioners to give up the tie, a gesture that would allow to keep the temperature of the rooms three Celsius degrees above the level usually set.

A wave of bad weather characterized by strong gusts of wind and rainfall sometimes accompanied by hailstorms with even large grains have affected several regions in Italy, particularly affected Lombardy where for example there is talk of two small villages partially evacuated in the province of Brescia, harvests often already damaged by drought now affected by hail; then the scarce rains do not solve the serious water crisis that is putting a strain on the entire agricultural sector. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the authorities of the Philippines would have declared four victims and over one hundred and thirty injured due to the earthquake of magnitude 7.1 that hit the north of the island of Luzon, then a large number of aftershocks that forced the population of the province of Abra to sleep outdoors.

No casualties have been reported even if some buildings seem to have partially collapsed and the aftershocks continue that could be according to the forecasts of the experts of strong intensity, then in some cases the supply of electricity is missing. As for the fires in Greece, three fronts of fire destroyed about two thousand two hundred hectares of vegetation in the Dadia Nature Park at the tourist village of Vrisa in the south of the island of Lesbos; many teams of firefighters supported by firefighting aircraft try to cope with the high flames in the important protected habitat (it is also a serious ecological damage), then there is talk of evacuations and inconvenience for the tourists.

Temperatures are very high in California (where a state of emergency has been declared) and it is also very hot in other large areas of the United States. Other naturalistic emergencies should be noted such as storms in Ontario in Canada, a volcanic eruption in Japan in the south of the island of Kyushu, the violent monsoon rains in Pakistan and the numerous worrying fires in Europe.

Italy in the grip of fires, heat and drought

Some large fires partly favored by the heat are devouring the vegetation in Italy and putting in difficulty the fire brigades as for example is happening in Tuscany with over eight hundred hectares of forest gone up in smoke in Versilia, damaged houses (sometimes with gas containers that have caught fire), one thousand people evacuated; then the flames on the Carso in Friuli region [..one victim] with clouds of smoke that arrived in Slovenia. The city of Trieste risks being left without electricity and water, there is also talk of very high levels of fine particulate matter. As for the drought, in Lombardy farmers are often forced to anticipate harvests with inevitable loss of quantity and quality and complaints since in many cases a few irrigation cycles were still enough to complete the ripening of the fruits of the plants.

Severe heat wave in Europe with fires

The scorching temperatures due to the heat wave of African origin that are affecting many European countries worry the health authorities who warn that there is a risk of death for fragile people, then for example in France a severe alert has been triggered for the heat wave while the country is still struggling with the fires that in the Gironde have burned over ten thousand hectares of vegetation. Difficult situation for heat and fires also in Portugal (where a firefighting plane crashed, then there is talk of two victims and about sixty wounded); while in Spain are trying to cope with several large fires in Extremadura and in Malaga more than three thousand people have been evacuated. High temperatures compared to the average of the period also in Great Britain and Holland, then in Greece the firefighters try to keep some fires under control.

Floods in southwest Virginia in the U.S.

Of the counties of southwestern Virginia in the U.S. on the borders with West Virginia and Kentucky would have been flooded damaging over a hundred homes, then there is talk of about forty missing even if it is hypothesized that this number may decrease when the water begins to drain and rescue teams can have access to flooded areas (no victims or injuries have been confirmed). A shelter has been equipped at a local school in case anyone needs it. Last year Buchanan County, now affected by flooding, was seriously affected by the extreme effects of a hurricane's tail with one victim and this time the damage is generally less severe but more widespread. Recently an evacuation order was issued in eastern Tennessee for over four hundred people again for flood alerts.

Gas and nuclear energy defined sustainable in EU

Controversy does not cease after the approval of a European Union proposal that includes natural gas and nuclear energy as sustainable activities (in theory obtained from safer new generation plants), but some say that if Europe wants to set the best global standards to combat climate change and achieve climate neutrality by 2050 this cannot be the right way forward by advancing strong criticism; then the tensions on the energy markets caused by the conflict in Ukraine will force for a transitional period to a partial return to coal, forced by the delay accumulated in the transition to renewable energy. It should be noted that putting the sustainable label on gas and nuclear would mean neglecting a whole series of well-known problems and risks related to the use of these energies.

Glaciers in the Alps are becoming unstable

As temperatures rise due to global warming caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels glaciers in the European Alps are becoming unstable and dangerous, at least in the opinion of researchers who argue that they are not dormant as if it were fossilized ice. What happened on the Marmolada with the detachment of a large mass of frozen material at high altitude could happen in other alpine glaciers; in fact, little snow fell during the winter not allowing the formation of a thick protective snow cover regarding the melting of the ice, then many say that generally the situation in June was worse than what is usually seen in July with large gray areas remained uncovered by the snow cover and in some cases there is also the problem of algae that turn red further darkening the ice accelerating the melting.

Landslide for heavy rains in Manipur in India

There would be at least fourteen victims from a landslide caused by heavy rainfall in a remote area of Manipur in India, then it is feared that dozens of people were overwhelmed by the landslide material while rescuers managed to rescue nineteen people by extracting them from the rubble. There is recent talk of over one hundred and fifty victims between India and Bangladesh due to rains of unusual intensity with millions of people evacuated considering that in low lying areas the houses have also been submerged. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that India would have banned the single use plastic to face the increasingly serious problem of the mass of plastic waste of various types that accumulate on the streets partly favored by the rapid economic growth of the country and the scarce recycling practices adopted by the population.

The oceans generate fifty percent of the oxygen we breathe, then are a source of protein and micronutrients for billions of people in the world; therefore the protection of the seas is a must so as not to have to give up these indispensable resources for the planet. A long-postponed conference in Lisbon would have highlighted many critical issues known for many years and remained unresolved trying to find solutions to restore the health of the oceans, since marine heat waves are becoming increasingly frequent due to the greenhouse effect caused by climate-altering gases released by the unregulated use of fossil fuels. To worsen the situation of the oceans is the excessive presence of microplastics that end up in the food chain, then we should ban trawling and that type of "industrial extraction" that uses technological tools to identify many fish.

Italy in the grip of drought and heat

The rainy rains that were long expected in the North in Italy have brought little relief to crops and indeed damage has been reported due to tornadoes that have affected some greenhouses and uprooted trees as well as hailstorms on crops; there are fears about the stability of the entire agricultural sector (also affected products of excellence) in the event of prolonged drought. In the meantime a state of emergency has been declared in Lombardy with appeals to not waste water, but the situation is not much better for example in Lazio where water reserves are rapidly reducing. It does not help the heat wave of African origin expected in the coming days with temperature peaks that could reach forty degrees Celsius, while already now temperatures of up to thirty-six degrees have been recorded especially in south areas of the country with inevitable inconvenience for the population.

Earthquake in Afghanistan and floods in China

There would be at least one thousand victims and fifteen hundred wounded, many in serious condition, due to an earthquake of magnitude 5.9 that shook a mountainous area of Afghanistan, particularly affected the Paktika region (previously affected by torrential rainfall with consequent flooding). It digs through the rubble of collapsed buildings to extract the people who have been trapped, while there is talk of a humanitarian crisis aggravated by the conflicts that lasted until last August that left the country in a rather precarious situation. As far as China the authorities have evacuated hundreds of thousands of people to the south of the country for fear of flooding; in fact, water levels in the Pearl River delta are very high. Among the regions at risk also the Guangdong province and therefore the technological capital Shenzhen.

Effects of heat waves and drought

The consequences on agricultural crops of the combined effect of increasingly frequent heat waves and droughts could be really serious, not to mention those on biodiversity; in fact, for example in Italy it has already been decided by many farmers to give up irrigating many fields to save the little water left for the most profitable crops, but this strategy could impoverish the humus of the soils, already suffering from high evaporation, if water is also taken from the aquifer (considering that it takes decades to recover desertified land). Of note by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the unecological decision to increase the production of electricity obtained from coal-fired power plants taken by Germany and Italy to cope with the cut in gas supplies due to the conflict in Ukraine.

State of water emergency in Piedmont in Italy

The flow rate of the Po river is so low that it has forced the authorities of the Piedmont region to declare a state of water emergency in addition to rationing the distribution of drinking water in various municipalities, while farmers already complain of heavy losses from suffering crops; then must consider that no rainy precipitation is expected in the coming days but high temperatures with peaks of thirty-seven degrees Celsius right in the Po Valley (therefore with high evaporation on already arid soils). Not much better the situation in Lombardy and Veneto regions with controversy about the lack of water plans useful to accumulate reserves for example in special floodplain areas, large reservoirs and artificial lakes, quarries, cisterns as well as useful interventions to avoid a kind of desertification that for some areas is practically already taken for granted.

Unprecedented flooding in Yellowstone

In the year in which the famous Yellowstone National Park in the United States celebrates the one hundred and fifty years since its opening, a flood defined as unprecedented would have forced over ten thousand visitors to evacuate moving between roads and bridges covered with mud while the Yellowstone River turned brown flows impetuous in the valley (fueled by melting snow as well as heavy rainfall in southern Montana and northern Wyoming). There would be no casualties or injuries, but only damage to the structures of the park that hosts millions of tourists in the summer seasons; then there is talk of landslides and declaration of the state of disaster. Of note shifting attention to Canada the recent wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rains and gusts of wind with consequent interruptions in the supply of electricity, uprooted trees, with the level of rivers under observation for example in Calgary.

Recycling polystyrene with gut enzymes of worms

The larvae of a large worm (Zophobas morio), about five centimeters, would be able to digest thanks to particular digestive enzymes a very common type of plastic such as polystyrene rather difficult to recycle and that often ends up in landfills and subsequently in the sea threatening marine life and in theory the entire food chain; at least according to a study by Australian researchers who claim that these larvae are able to obtain sustenance and therefore energy from polystyrene to complete their life cycle becoming pupae and adult insects. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the wave of bad weather characterized by storms in large areas of China, particularly affected the province of Henan with victims and the forecast of record peaks of heat in California for the coming days.

Downgraded hurricane lashes southern Mexico

After the passage of "Agatha" hurricane in southern Mexico (although later downgraded to a tropical storm) characterized by strong gusts of wind, torrential rainfall and subsequent flooding, there is talk of at least ten victims, about twenty missing in addition to damage and inconvenience. When the strong vortex evaluated as one of the most powerful of the season on the Mexican Pacific coast had arrived in the country initially no victims had been recorded, then it weakened but the intense rains continued making the rivers overflow, breaking the banks resulting in floods and landslides. In the state of Oaxaca many had to go to shelters and there were difficulties in moving; in fact, for example, a mudslide blocked a highway and there was no lack of inconvenience for the population and tourists with palm trees and uprooted trees.

Torrential rains in northeast Brazil

There would be at least seventy-nine victims and fifty-six missing in the state of Pernambuco in the north-east of Brazil due to torrential rainfall with consequent landslides and floods, the latest after a recent series of extreme events of this type favored by climate change in the country. There is talk of about four thousand people who have lost their homes while looking for the missing among piles of mud and debris with unfavorable weather forecasts regarding any other rains, then it seems that in some areas of Recife the volume of rainfall has reached seventy percent of all those expected for the month of May. Of note shifting attention to Italy the sharp drop in temperatures monitored after a fairly anomalous heat wave that could damage some crops and there were some hailstorms.

Heat wave forecasts in India

Due to climate change the frequency of heat waves in India could be thirty times greater, but some say probably even a hundred times and if the average temperatures of the planet were to rise by two Celsius degrees above pre-industrial levels heat waves are expected about every five years. The effects of the anomalous heat in India and Pakistan have had cascading and widespread effects with at least ninety victims and solutions are being sought to protect the health of the population, for example by adopting reflective economic materials for roofs as well as differentiating the structures of the buildings so that they do not transmit heat into the environments. To report , shifting attention to other scenarios, the high temperatures monitored lately in large areas of the United States and Europe far above the averages of the period.

Tornadoes in Germany and the United States

A strong vortex that meteorologists suspect to be a tornado has affected several cities in its run causing one victim and about forty injured (ten in serious condition) in the west of Germany; the city of Paderborn, halfway between Frankfurt and Hamburg, was particularly affected. There is talk of uncovered roofs, trucks and other means of transport overturned as well as uprooted trees while the authorities warn the population to pay attention to any other vortices. As for the United States a tornado in northern Michigan would have caused at least one victim, over forty injuries and various damage to homes, cars and even a church. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the alarm of international organizations regarding the acidification of the seas, the highest level recorded for twenty-six thousand years with consequences for future generations.

Repeating sandstorms in Iraq

The eighth sandstorm since mid-April has affected large areas of Iraq forcing at least four thousand people to go to the hospital for breathing difficulties considering that the previous storm had also caused one victim (five thousand people hospitalized with respiratory problems). The authorities have closed government offices in eighteen provinces including Baghdad, but health facilities have remained open to help people in difficulty and especially the elderly suffering from chronic respiratory and heart diseases, then there is talk of closed schools and drastically reduced visibility with for example cancellations of air flights. Sandstorms due to climate change have become increasingly frequent and intense in the country, one of the most vulnerable in the world due to desertification, with unfavorable forecasts for the future.

Restricted use of water for camps in France

Even before the summer seasons France is already forced in fifteen departments to restrict the use of water to irrigate agricultural fields due to the drought that is affecting the country with knock-on effects on the food industry. Problems also to nuclear power plants because they require a lot of water for the cooling of the reactors, then in some cases hydrogeological instability occurs from drought to the point of the risk of collapse of buildings and considering other factors in practice the entire system would be entering a spiral out of control due to climate change. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the average temperatures could reach the degree and a half Celsius of increase earlier than expected, so to avoid excessive overheating could for example adopt a vegetarian diet.

There would be twenty-two victims and forty injured in Afghanistan due to intense rainfall resulting in floods that affected twelve (over a third) of the country's provinces, destroying hundreds of homes and damaging crops. Particularly affected are the provinces of Badghis and Faryab in the west and Baghlan in the north of a country already struggling for some time with a humanitarian crisis caused by conflict and climate change with prolonged droughts that have impoverished crops increasing fears in the population of finding themselves without food. International authorities try to find a solution of how to bring aid to forty million people without benefiting the local authorities that govern the country with methods that some consider quite questionable.

Among the most affected by the wave of bad weather the highway six in the Interlake rural municipality of St. Laurent with concern for families, farms and businesses that are located on the sides of the road and the authorities try to minimize the inconvenience; then for other areas there is possibly talk of evacuations. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues always in Canada the problem constituted by the proliferation in the waters of southern Ontario of goldfish (often released by domestic aquariums), a species that competes with the native ones causing imbalances in biodiversity.

Reptiles among the most endangered species

A catastrophic decline in biodiversity has already been widely documented, with for example forty percent of amphibians, twenty-five percent of mammals, thirteen percent of birds, and now researchers would find that one in five species of reptiles would be at risk of extinction. In particular crocodiles are threatened due to hunting and to eliminate them from human settlements, turtles for trade as pets and in senseless use to prepare medicines (which have no real effectiveness); then as for other species we must consider that reptiles are important to keep the insect population in balance and climate change puts a strain on their ability to survive. Cobras are classified as a truly vulnerable species and very close to extinction, despite their naturalistic importance; in fact, it is the largest venomous snake, capable of growing up to five meters and feeding on other snakes in large areas from India to Southeast Asia.

The epicenter was located one hundred and eighty-two kilometers southeast of the capital Sarajevo (and about forty from Mostar) two kilometers deep. To be reported by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the alert given by researchers in the case of a tsunami for an eruption of the Barcena volcano, which shows signs of activity, in the archipelago of the Revillagigedo islands off the coast of Mexico and is evaluated as potentially devastating as the one that happened in Tonga caused by the Hunga Ha'apai volcano; in practice, predictive models are used for simulations considering the movements of tectonic plates.

Vast fire in an Arizona county

Strong gusts of wind would have favored the spread of a fire in a rural area of northern Arizona in the United States so as to reach twenty-five square kilometers destroying over twenty structures. Coconino County declared a state of emergency, then a major highway was closed and areas affected by the clouds of smoke that emanated from the fire were evacuated (including animals). Teams of firefighters try to deal with fires with the help of firefighting aircraft, but the force of the wind that feeds the flames also changing direction poses problems. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Italy on the bed of the river Po dry due to prolonged drought would have been found the skull of a giant deer dating back to a hundred thousand years ago.

Difficulties in the Philippines due to a cyclone

The death toll in the Philippines has worsened to at least one hundred and twenty-three due to the tropical storm called "Megi" that recently lashed large central areas of the country, the first cyclone that hit the archipelago formed by over seven thousand six hundred islands with an average of about twenty strong vortex every year. Over one hundred and sixty-two thousand people evacuated, then there is talk of difficulties in the city of Baybay due to landslides from the heights favored by torrential rainfall with dozens of victims and hundreds of wounded, while rescuers still dig also in other areas in search of any missing. The district of Kantagnos appears devastated with homes damaged and interruptions in connections, then generally from sighted areas see cultivated fields covered with landslide material or flooded areas.

Bridges, roads and houses have collapsed, swept away by the fury of the torrents of impetuous water that have hit them; then almost two hundred and fifty schools and over six thousand houses damaged. As for the Philippines, there is talk of fifty-eight victims, dozens of missing and injured by landslides and floods always favored by heavy rains; the city of Baybay was particularly affected, while the authorities sent rescue teams to help the population in the areas affected by the wave of bad weather (tropical storm "Megi") and to search for missing people.

Italy struggling with drought and pollution

A short time after the last rainfall that had given some relief to the suffering crops, especially in the center-north, farmers complain of difficulties related to drought and are forced to use the scarce accumulated water resources that will also have to serve to overcome the summer period, therefore with strong evaporation of water vapor. There are problems related to pollution for example for the fine particles that accumulate in the Po Valley, partly for the scarce rains that clean the air, which in recent months have recorded pollution records (note that some international studies link pollution to alterations in behavior). The production of hydroelectric energy has also been reduced from which it seems that a large part of the eleven percent of renewable energy produced in Italy is obtained.

Rapid reduction of pollutant emissions

We cannot delay yet for a rapid reduction in polluting emissions, at least according to a report by international organizations that warn that the peak should be before 2025 and then proceed to a sharp cut in fossil fuels if we want to keep global temperatures within one and a half degrees Celsius of increase (more realistically within two or maybe even two and a half). Exceeding these temperatures would mean an unlivable planet for the human species and almost all the others that in practice hardly adapt to extreme conditions. It is possible to use renewable energies instead of fossil fuels; in fact, for example in Costa Rica one hundred percent of energy comes from renewable sources, then in theory it is also possible to capture the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere and use it to produce biofuels.

Still bad weather in Australia

After the floods that affected three to four weeks ago large areas on the east coast of Australia a new wave of bad weather characterized by strong gusts of wind and high waves, with erosion of the coasts, has also caused intense rainfall with consequent flooding for example near the beaches (particularly affected the New South Wales). A low-pressure system influenced in part by a cyclical global current called "La Nina" would have amplified the effects of the wave of bad weather, there is talk of two victims and one missing at Lismore, a tourist resort seven hundred and fifty kilometers north of Sydney. To be noted by changing the subject the relief in Italy for the rains that interrupted the long period of drought, but in some cases there have been problems and inconveniences as happened at the airport of Palermo in Sicily.

Initial eruptions of a Philippines volcano

After a phreatomagmatic eruption that results from the contact of water with the incandescent magma that releases clouds of aqueous vapor and consequent seismic swarm caused by the small Taal volcano in the Philippines, which is located in a characteristic lake in the province of Batangas south of Manila, the signs of magmatic activity continue that prompted the authorities to issue an alert three on a scale of five. It is feared that the very hot magmatic fluid in the lake could cause a kind of volcanic tsunami and three thousand people have been evacuated to temporary shelters. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the risk of non-germination of corn and rice due to drought in the center-north of Italy (all crops are suffering), then fires in Umbria favored by rather dry vegetation and almost summer temperatures.

Clouds of smoke were released that reached locations at great distances making the air quality very low and in some cases almost unbreathable forcing to set other dates for demonstrations and events on the calendar. As for Lombardy there is talk of fires in Valcamonica with dozens of hectares of vegetation gone up in smoke, teams of firefighters try to face the flames supported by firefighting planes, while the weather forecast for a long time does not announce incoming rainfall.

Two factors for rising sea levels

The thermal expansion of the oceans combined with the melting of polar ice (which in practice melts like large icicles in warm water) determine a rise in sea levels that lately worries researchers who argue that ninety percent of the increase in global average temperatures caused by the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels has been absorbed by the oceans and this capacity linked in large part to the capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide tends more and more to decrease. Among the cities considered at risk of being soon submerged are Bangkok in Thailand and Jakarta on the island of Java in Indonesia, then for example the coasts of Great Britain are very vulnerable to marine erosion. It is estimated that a degree of increase in global temperatures can cause a rise in the sea of more than two meters over the time.

Great Barrier Reef assessed as endangered

The wide-ranging and severe bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef monitored after two years of rising sea temperatures due to uncontrolled emissions from fossil fuels risks classifying the world's largest coral ecosystem as endangered (it will be necessary to wait until June for the official assessment); then in theory the periodic global current "La Nina" should have lowered a little the temperatures of the Pacific Ocean, so this according to some shows that the Australian authorities have failed to protect the corals from the impact of climate change. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the recent desert sandstorm that has covered many European countries with dust from the Sahara, particularly affected Spain where in some areas the air was almost unbreathable.

For the moment there is no talk of victims, but teams of rescuers are digging in the landslide to look for people trapped even drilling into the walls of the houses. It seems that the area affected by the landslide was not safe for the construction of houses and generally in Peru the percentage of houses built near rivers and on hillsides that could collapse is high. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a recent international initiative in fourteen points to protect the environment from the so-called lobbies that try to counter the regulations established to limit pollution and climate change.

To reduce the non-compostable plastic

Often non-compostable plastic ends up among the wet waste that is then sent to special landfills to obtain fertilizer compost, for example some researchers try to find a biological material to replace tea bags that can release millions of plastic microparticles into the environment. There are also considerable differences between biological materials in how they degrade over time and there are cases of those that remain rather polluting to the environment; so we must ensure that they are all one hundred percent recyclable and within a reasonable timeframe. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the drought that is affecting several Italian regions with dry rivers at the levels usually monitored in August and consequently foam and polluting residues that tend to accumulate; few forecasts of upcoming rainfall.

Far from coping with climate change

Almost half of the world's population is vulnerable to climate change so humanity is not ready to face it, at least according to a report by international organizations that highlights how drastic wide-ranging action is needed also to ensure food and drinking water as well as projects for the protection of coastal cities with the need to prepare for storms and rising seas. As the conditions linked to climate change worsen investments will have to be increased without delay and this is essential for survival. Climate mitigation and adaptation actions are essential to pay sustainable costs, then it is necessary to carry out a control on uncontrolled pollutant emissions. For example, reforestation and environmental protection interventions could be adopted to mitigate the impact of climate change.

Carbon credits on plastics in Indonesia

The Indonesian authorities to reduce plastic pollution in the country would be willing to adopt a scheme similar to that provided for by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol for the possibility of transferring carbon credits, but in this case adapted to plastics. Some say that some manufacturers could take advantage of this scheme, with a certain amount of plastic collected and recycled then converted into what is called a "credit unit", to offload their responsibilities to others (limiting the ecological footprint only on paper by selling the credit units to plastic creditors). However the funds accumulated from the transactions of these credits could be used in initiatives to collect and recycle plastic and also to control the quantities of plastic material collected and specially treated by third parties.

The final effects of the storm "Eunice", which in Europe caused sixteen victims, were clearly felt in some Italian regions causing damage and inconvenience; especially in Piedmont trees were uprooted, which sometimes interrupted power lines, then a large fallen gate caused a serious injury. In other regions of the North (with storm gusts attenuated by the protection constituted by the Alpine chain) scaffolding have collapsed even with serious injuries, while in Sardinia the strong gusts of wind and high waves have forced to change some navigation routes. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the water crisis favored by drought in many Italian regions, in particular for example in Chieti in Abruzzo aggravated by losses in the plants and unnecessary waste of water.

Risk of oil spillage from ship to Corfu

Following the observation of oily spots in the sea there are fears of the spillage of about eight hundred cubic meters of fuel, in addition to other liquids and pollutants, from a ferry that caught fire off Corfu probably due to a fire in a truck. There is talk of (one victim) ten missing, several injured and lack of security on board of the ship that was sailing from Greece in the direction of Italy; at least from the testimonies of truck drivers who spoke of confined spaces to load as many vehicles as possible in the ferry garage hold almost to hinder the passage of people. Rescue ships are sucking up the fuel left on board extinguishing the last outbreaks, while waiting to look for the missing on board; needless to say that in the event of spillage of polluting liquids tourist activity in Corfu could be penalized.

Difficulties with landslides near Rio de Janeiro

The heavy rainfall characterized by storms that hit especially the hilly tourist area of Petropolis near Rio de Janeiro have put in difficulty the population that can not move easily since the roads are obstructed by a thick layer of mud, debris, cars and other means of transport also overturned and crumpled; then a bit of everything is missing. In the meantime the death toll would have risen to one hundred-four with dozens of missing, while the mechanical shovels dig through the rubble of the destroyed houses and try to shovel the mud. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the complaints of farmers and breeders in Italy struggling with drought, rising energy prices, fuels and all the products necessary for their activities that they have to face without adequate aid.

Accelerating climate change

Faced with what is called a clear acceleration of the impact of climate change, almost two hundred nations in a meeting would have underlined the urgency of cutting emissions, deriving mainly from the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, immediately and preparing to face a challenge of adaptation now present and not linked to a hypothetical future scenario. Being able to adapt to periods of unbearable heat, floods and storms could make a difference to the survival of entire populations, bearing in mind that even with the cut in emissions we will still see the collapse of ecosystems, the extinction of species. It should be noted that some complain of any dangers that can be connected to new technologies such as for example the need to bury the electrical cables of photovoltaic and wind power plants.

Projects for the new capital of Indonesia

To build what should be called "Nusantara", the new capital of Indonesia on the island of Borneo about one thousand three hundred kilometers from Jakarta, the authorities say that it is necessary not to make the mistakes made in the past in the planning of large human agglomerations; in practice designed on expensive monumental designs, not in balance with nature, metropolises that soon become unlivable and end up fueling ethnic or religious conflicts with really low quality of life. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Madagascar has increased to one hundred and twenty the number of victims caused by the "Batsirai" cyclone and there is talk of one hundred and twenty-five thousand people evacuated as well as difficulties in managing the situation, with destroyed crops, health problems and food shortages.

Wind gusts in northern regions of Italy

Of the air flows coming from Europe and the subsequent contact, overcoming the Alps, with air masses in northern regions in Italy tending to warmer temperature have favored the formation of wind vortices with gusts that have touched even one hundred and ten kilometers per hour, we are talking about four injured (two in serious conditions) in addition to damage and inconvenience for the population. For example in Milan part of the roof cover of the railway station flew away and in the Sforzesco castle some tiles fell, many trees and branches fell in the city that hindered circulation, in Segrate the firefighters removed the sheets twisted by the wind from the roof of a kindergarten evacuating the children. To report the proposals to create reservoirs and floodplain areas to accumulate sufficient quantities of water to face a worrying drought in the North in Italy.

A strong cyclone approaches Madagascar

A cyclone called "Batsirai" characterized by gusts of wind at over two hundred kilometers per hour and waves on the coasts up to fifteen meters high approaches Madagascar, at least according to the forecasts of meteorologists who warn of the danger to the population also considering that last month the cyclone "Ana" caused fifty-eight victims and affected one hundred and thirty-one thousand people. The strong vortex has already hit Mauritius and Reunion with torrential rainfall and it is estimated that one hundred and fifty thousand people in Madagascar could be at risk of being evacuated due to landslides and floods and rescue teams have already been alerted as many try to reinforce the fragile homes. To be reported by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues an investigation in France to clarify the cause for the tens of thousands of dead fish monitored in the Bay of Biscay.

Landslide a hill in Quito capital of Ecuador

There would be at least twenty-four victims and forty-eight injured in the capital of Ecuador Quito caused by the landslide movement of a hill weakened by prolonged heavy rainfall that has practically saturated the soil. Some houses have been destroyed by the landslide as if they had been shaken by an earthquake while rescuers dig through the rubble to look for any missing (asking for silence to hear calls for help) and the mechanical shovels remove the debris of the houses, the mud accumulated as well as branches and tree trunks. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the arson fires in Italy in Liguria near Genoa and the Cinque Terre, is talk about many hectares of vegetation devoured by the flames that in some cases have approached the houses.

Blizzard over many states east of the U.S.A.

A wave of bad weather characterized by heavy snowfall and gusts of wind at over one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour have affected many states in the east of the United States, the authorities have declared a state of emergency for the states of New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts; then there is also talk of a victim and strong inconveniences for the population with road traffic hindered by the thick blanket of snow that has accumulated on the roads as well as thousands of canceled air flights and interruptions in the supply of electricity in large areas. Very low temperatures with the risk of forming ice sheets that could make the roads partly impassable. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the drought recorded in some Italian regions where it has not rained for weeks and the water level in the water basins is low.

Cleaning up a beach from oil in Peru

Difficulties continue in Peru to try to clean up a beach and a large marine area from oily residues of oil spilled from a ship last week and many Peruvian women have offered their hair to facilitate the recovery of heavy hydrocarbons in the sea smeared with dark oily patches, the authorities evaluate for possible sanctions to a refinery considered responsible for the ecological disaster. Some advance doubts regard that the incident was caused by the tsunami originated from a volcano in Tonga claiming that the sea was calm. To report recently an earthquake in Afghanistan of magnitude 5.3 in the district of Qadis in the west of the province of Badghis, there is talk of twenty-six victims and four injured mainly due to the collapse of the roof of houses due to earthquakes.

Tonga people ready for reconstruction

The population of Tonga is severely tried by the damage caused by the eruption of the volcano "Hunga Ha'apai" which covered everything with a huge amount of volcanic material and then the tsunami wave; left without drinking water, with crops and two villages destroyed, communication problems due to the breakage of an internet cable that will take a few weeks to repair. About eighty percent of the inhabitants have been affected, but they declare themselves ready for reconstruction also to preserve their identity and are proceeding to clean everything from the ashes considering that the volcano is still active. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Syria a snowstorm hit a refugee camp causing tents to collapse due to the weight of the accumulated snow cover and causing at least one victim.

Tonga islands still isolated without water and food

There has been no reliable news from the Tonga islands for two days due to the interruption of the internet connection provided by an underwater cable damaged by the eruption of the Hunga volcano and subsequent tsunami wave, but some say that the population has been left without water and food also because of the volcanic ash that has covered everything with a thick layer and therefore it is difficult to have access to clean and therefore drinkable water; then there is talk of three victims. The concern is greater for two small islands where just over a hundred people live and which may have been particularly affected (among other things, the air could be unbreathable). To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that even Canada as the east of the United States is now partially affected by a storm of snow, ice and gusts of wind.

Submarine eruption at Tonga Islands

A loud roar would have accompanied the eruption of an underwater volcano off the Tonga Islands that caused a tsunami over a meter high that caused damage defined as significant to the capital Nuku'alofa that remained covered by volcanic dust even if there were no victims or injuries and everything is now calm. Hundreds the displaced people and many homes flooded, then being the lines of communication partially interrupted there may have been injuries and damage in affected areas not communicated (New Zealand sent planes for a reconnaissance). The tsunami wave reached Japan, California, Chile ten thousand kilometers away and many countries without causing damage. The eruption lasted at least eight minutes launching clouds of volcanic gas and dust at great heights and any other eruptions are not excluded.

Floods in Indonesia, hot in Argentina

There would be eight victims in Papua in Indonesia due to torrential rainfall and consequent flooding, particularly affected the city of Jayapura by a landslide in a district to the north; then partly also at a housing complex in Organda. There is talk of flooding of the Menanti River and Makanway due to the intense rains and then floods in Jayapura (North and South), Abepura, Heram, Nimbokrang and Maura Tami. As for the heat wave that is affecting Argentina, the population complains of unbearable temperatures with peaks at forty-five degrees Celsius and homes often become as ovens also due to interruptions in the supply of electricity and therefore with the impossibility of using fans and air conditioners, then meteorologists say that historical records could be reached in the country because the heat wave has extraordinary characteristics.

Snowstorm in Murree winter resort in Pakistan

There would be at least twenty-two victims mainly from hypothermia (including ten children) due to a snowstorm at a very busy mountainous winter tourist resort in Pakistan and therefore with sustained road traffic on a road that has become impassable also due to a rapid lowering of temperatures, to minus eight degrees Celsius, which has favored the formation of ice sheets on the road surface and practically trapped hundreds of vehicles. The low temperatures knocked out the heavy equipment purchased to clear the roads and intervened to rescue the motorists of the locals by pushing the cars by hand and with small bulldozers to move the snowdrifts. To report changing the subject but remaining on tourism in the mountains issues that due to global warming it will often be necessary to replace the "artificial" snowmaking systems with those suitable for milder temperatures.

Less coal on the global market from Indonesia

The increased domestic energy demand in Indonesia has recently prompted the authorities to ban the export of coal to the global market, considering that the country is the largest exporter of fossil fuel for electricity production. The directives for cutting polluting emissions provide for no more coal-fired plants to be built from 2023 however the development of the huge Suralaya plant in Java, the largest in Southeast Asia, is still being developed able to meet the energy needs of fourteen million homes every year; therefore for the moment it will not be possible to aim for less polluting alternatives. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the phenomenon of thermal inversion in the Alps in Italy with anomalous temperatures in the mountains and heat defined as spring, rather worrying for the water reserves of the glaciers.

Rising costs of damage from climate change

Adding up the enormous costs of the damage caused by the extreme events that have affected the globe this year (higher than those of 2020) some say that we are not on the right path to a secure and prosperous future. Among the most costly events regarding the damage are "Ida" hurricane in the United States, the floods in Germany and Holland, the frost waves in Texas, then the floods in Henan in China and in British Columbia in Canada. In general richer countries complain of greater economic damage, but this does not mean that the disasters of climate change caused mainly by the greenhouse effect fueled by human emissions are less in poor countries and indeed often for example a strong vortex of bad weather that affects them means losing homes, productive activities, infrastructure and crops. It should be noted by changing the subject that the number of people evacuated in the state of Bahia in Brazil for floods has increased to over sixty thousand people evacuated also due to the failure of dams, then there is talk of twenty victims.

There would be at least twelve victims of the floods that hit Bolivia due to torrential rainfall with consequent damage to crops and impassable roads; then seven out of nine provinces declared a weather alert with poorly reassuring forecasts, considering that the rainy season in this country usually lasts until March. As for Brazil there is talk of eleven thousand evacuations in large areas affected by the floods in the state of Bahia where recently there would also have been victims due to repeated waves of bad weather. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the researchers have declared that the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption in the Spanish island La Palma delle Canaries is over, even if this does not mean that phenomena related to volcanic activity can still occur.

It should be noted by changing the subject that in the Philippines the death toll due to the super typhoon "Rai" has increased to over two hundred (or perhaps even over three hundred and seventy); there are also dozens missing while the rescue is hindered by damage caused to communication and power lines.

Philippine authorities have warned that the typhoon called "Rai or Odette" that would already be lashing large areas in the center and south of the country with strong wind and rainfall could be the strongest this year and potentially destructive, with wind peaks at almost two hundred kilometers per hour, also considering that the vortex probably heads towards the popular tourist Siargao island. Over forty-five thousand people including many local tourists (there are measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic against tourists coming from abroad) have reached the evacuation centers, then there is talk of canceled air flights and temporarily closed ports. It is the second typhoon to hit the archipelago since September when Chanthu hit the main island of Luzon while researchers as well known argue that these phenomena will become increasingly violent due to global warming.

A tsunami and landslide warning had been issued, then partly returned. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that among the hypotheses at the origins of a recent gas leak and consequent explosion in Ravanusa in the province of Agrigento (nine victims) there is also talk of hydrogeological instability amplified by the intense rainfall that has affected Sicily and all of southern Italy in recent months.

Adapting metropolises to storms

Climate change due to global warming caused by human activities forces us to devise new solutions in addition to normal adaptation works to avoid serious damage in metropolises flooded with increasingly frequent storms. In Europe, the maximum amount of daily rainfall would have increased from three percent to nineteen percent; in fact, with the rise in temperatures a greater amount of water evaporates into the atmosphere with subsequent torrential rains, real floods as for example happened a year ago in a country in the south of France where six hundred millimeters of rain fell in twelve hours (equivalent to six hundred liters of water per square meter). In Paris systems were built capable of absorbing eight hundred million liters of water and then making them flow into the Seine, then it is thought to make the roads become like a kind of sponge.

There would be at least thirteen victims and one hundred injured on the island of Java due to the eruption of the Semeru volcano, the highest and one of the most active in Indonesia; the ashes have reached fourteen kilometers in height forming a thick blanket that veils the sun's rays. Many people have reported burns caused by the abundant incandescent lava material that has also buried houses and rescuers dig in search of any missing. For some time the volcano gave signs of increased activity with the emission of ash and lapilli but without causing particular problems, then two days ago much more intense manifestations began with the emission of lava. Of note shifting attention to the Canaries in the island La Palma a victim recently for the collapse of a roof loaded with volcanic material from the volcano Cumbre Vieja.

U.S. largest plastic polluters in the world

The United States would be responsible for plastic waste pollution twice as much as China and more than the European Union countries combined (from data collected in 2016). In this unhealthy ranking stands the U.S. citizen with one hundred and thirty kilos of plastic waste per year, followed by the British with almost one hundred and South Koreans with eighty-eight; then needless to say that all this plastic becomes microplastic that has long been ascertained to enter the food chain and the fragments can reach the atmosphere transported by the wind and then breathed. The amount of plastic that reaches the seas every year is enormous and it is estimated that by 2030 it will reach almost half of the total weight of fish caught annually, so this trend should be reversed soon by replacing plastic products with biodegradable and sustainable ones.

While part of British Columbia is still flooded by water (there is talk of four victims and some missing) with extensive damage defined as the most expensive in the history of Canada another wave of bad weather, which for forecasts could be unprecedented, characterized by intense rainfall and storms heads towards the south-west of Newfoundland although it is hoped by climate models that its impact on the territory will be less devastating. Meanwhile communities are demanding that infrastructure, houses, buildings, roads, railway lines be more resilient to climate change; then should warn those who buy a house at risk.

The agreements made at the close of the COP26 conference in Glasgow in Scotland even if show some progress in solving the climate issue are not enough to contain the increase in global temperatures with consequent disastrous effects on the planet and some say that little attention has been paid to the protection of the Oceans that have absorbed uncontrolled emissions until now, but are at the limit of this capacity; then there was a lack of passion to finance the damage from climate change for the most affected countries, often not responsible for pollution, in addition to technological support for the transition to renewable energy.

Attempts U.S. and China agreement on climate

The trajectories calculated on global warming with the proposals presented so far in Glasgow in Scotland for COP26 hypothesize an increase of more than two and a half degrees Celsius by the end of the century and even an improvement agreement would probably keep the trajectory still above two degrees of increase; so the U.S.A. and China, which are the countries that pollute the most in the world and the largest world economies, have announced a plan of further reductions to fall below two degrees of global temperature rise. Some say that without sanctions and really binding impositions it will be very difficult for the various actors of global warming to reduce emissions, then cyclical factors come into play to aggravate an already disastrous climate situation and individual action to contain the damage will be increasingly important.

Some timid proposals against the greenhouse effect

The proposal of more than twenty countries to no longer want to invest within the next year on the exploitation of fossil fuels that feed the greenhouse effect and consequently climate change, even if positive, does not provide for sanctions if these measures are not actually adopted and in the recent past it has already happened that they have been largely disregarded. Many energy companies have been planning for years the development of the various components of energy to be used and it will be very difficult to change them in order not to jeoze the stability of the distribution networks, then lately could have the aggravating factor due to the volatility of the markets and the turbulence of demand in this field. Some have also pointed out that the deforestation targets must have already been met and have been practically postponed for a decade.

Environmental sustainability and access to water

To promote greater environmental sustainability, international agencies warn that it will be necessary to guarantee the availability of drinking water and water for crops to populations facing the impact of climate change on the planet, arguments that are often neglected or not well highlighted; this on the eve of the COP26 summit on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in Glasgow in Scotland (where apparently there is now talk of bad weather and yellow weather alert). Some say that even in the event of a respected agreement between all the various countries, perhaps it will take twenty years before we see the real effects on the climate, then we should make sure that sustainable and recyclable technologies do not depend on polluting and non-recyclable ones in demand, otherwise we will only increase the environmental problems.

Insufficient proposals for COP26 climate agreements

A few days before the start of the COP26 conference in Glasgow on the reduction of polluting emissions the proposals that seem to be presented at the negotiating table, in practice with a climate neutrality too far in time, will probably be insufficient to prevent global warming from exceeding one and a half degrees Celsius to avoid disastrous effects on the climate; in fact, currently with little more than a degree of increase we are already witnessing extreme phenomena that will only intensify further. Controversy over the high cost of the hotels that host the representatives of the various nations in Glasgow, then should also take into account the climate impact of these conferences and the whole supply chain that is really not very ecological and therefore overall not very in line with the spirit of the initiative.

Sudden changes in temperature in China

Due to the effects on the climate of a global current called "La Nigna" usually characterized by cold equatorial winds enhanced in part by the mixing of the waters in the depths of the Pacific, temperature changes and a harsh winter are expected especially in Asian countries such as China, South Korea and Japan. As for China which is the largest energy consumer in the world it will be necessary to face the rise in fossil fuel prices with values that are already high on the market due to global turbulence and the strong demand fueled by the restart at full capacity of some activities that had been penalized by the Covid-19 pandemic. Temperatures in some provinces of China such as Heilongjiang and Shaanxi would have already dropped considerably compared to the usual values with a consequent increase in energy demand.

A wave of bad weather characterized by wind storms and even tornadoes as well as torrential rainfall called "Aurore" has lashed large areas of Europe; particularly affected the south of England where floods occurred with damage to crops and uprooted trees, France where two hundred and fifty thousand homes would have remained without electricity supply, some buildings were damaged and in Normandy strong gusts of wind were recorded with disruptions for some railway lines, then in the German city Schwentinental (near Kiel on the Baltic) a tornado caused a lot of damage. There is talk of injuries in the Dutch city of Barendrecht and there have been train delays in the Netherlands, then in Belgium where there have been many calls to the emergency services and inconveniences also in Luxembourg.

Cyprus affected by climate change

The Cyprus authorities complain that they are being hit hard by climate change with increasingly dry climate, desertification and frequent fires; therefore they call for a greater commitment in favor of the environment neighboring countries and the Middle East that have not yet signed the Paris Agreement on the reduction of polluting emissions such as Iran, Iraq, Libya and Yemen (bearing in mind that the global climate conference in Glasgow in Scotland COP26 is about to begin, considered decisive for the fate of the planet and perhaps the last available opportunity). The hydrocarbon-based economy coming in large quantities from these countries and feeding the world economy is seen as anachronistic and unsustainable, then the greater solar irradiation due to climate change could be exploited with new renewable technologies with zero impact.

Moderate intensity earthquake in Bali

There would be three victims and seven injured in Bali in Indonesia due to an earthquake of magnitude 4.8 with an epicenter sixty-two kilometers northeast of Singaraja followed by an aftershock of slightly lower intensity that also caused panic in the population that poured into the streets. This earthquake hit the island just when it was reopening to tourism after the containment measures established to face the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, then there is talk of damage in the villages of Trunyan and Kintamani tourist destinations also for the presence of a characteristic lake. To be noted by completely changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that the flow of lava descending from the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Spanish island La Palma delle Canarie (also recorded a telluric shock) has greatly increased, forcing the evacuation of another three hundred people.

Excessive global warming

The estimated trajectory of global warming due to polluting emissions would be well over two degrees Celsius by the end of the century and therefore according to experts terrifying considering the climate changes already experienced with a rise of about only one degree (given that entire crops and agricultural production chains have been damaged and sometimes even destroyed). Many countries plans to cut emissions have failed to curb the acceleration of global warming, so more effort is needed immediately in anticipation of new plans for cuts planned for the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland from 31 October to 12 November, which could be the last opportunity to be able to intervene on the climate even if it will not be possible to avoid, for example, the rise in sea levels due to of the large amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere for decades.

Investigation of oil spill in California

Much more crude than expected could have leaked from an oil pipeline off the coast of California; in fact, an investigation carried out on the pipe would have found that perhaps the leak had begun about a year ago (on a date difficult to specify) with a crack probably caused by an anchor of a ship and then the anchors of many other ships had contributed to widening it (also moving a part of one thousand two hundred meters of the pipeline, an event defined as unusual; then at the point moved a greater distance from the original route the crack widens considerably). The loss of heavy hydrocarbons in a large stretch of coast in southern California is a serious threat to whales, dolphins and the entire ecosystem without considering the inconvenience for the population forced to inhale unhealthy odors that are released by hydrocarbons.

Earthquake in southern Pakistan

There would be at least twenty victims and over two hundred injured due to a magnitude 6.0 earthquake in southern Pakistan, particularly affected the mountainous and remote area near the city of Harnai in Balochistan where houses collapsed, then the shock was also felt in provincial capital of Balochistan Quetta. The work of the rescuers is hindered by the difficult practicability of the roads, the lack of electricity and mobile phone coverage; so there are fears that the death toll may rise. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that due to heavy rainfall in some areas of India a house has collapsed in the village of Badal-Ankalgi in the Balagavi district of Kanataka, there is talk of at least seven victims.

Oil pipeline spreads hydrocarbons in California

A leak of heavy hydrocarbons (about three thousand barrels of oil) from an oil pipeline in Southern California would have formed a large oily patch with severe damage to the ecosystem; there is talk of many dead fish and birds floating off the Orange County while investigating the causes of the accident possibly caused by an anchor of a ship that hooked the oil pipeline of a Houston-based producer. Dozens of transport ships are stranded off the coast waiting to enter the port and staff on boats try to stem and contain the leak, then the beaches are closed, there is a strong smell of hydrocarbons and many complain that the oil stains are difficult to clean. Over the years the crude oil pipelines corrode and are more susceptible to possible damage showing how dangerous oil exploitation is.

Lava reached sea from a volcano in Canary Islands

The lava descending from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands would have reached the sea at the "Playa Nueva" while the authorities had already declared an exclusion zone of two nautical miles and warned the residents of Tazacorte, a village near the coast, to stay at home for the danger posed by the gases that are released by a chemical reaction when the incandescent magma touches the water, then there may also be small earthquakes of telluric type due to this contact with explosions of fragments of molten rock. There is talk of six hundred houses and banana crops destroyed by the flow of lava that has covered almost two hundred and sixty hectares of land with declaration of the state of natural disaster, but without victims and injuries. Breathing toxic gases could cause breathing difficulties and contact with vapors irritate the skin.

Australia unseasy about cutting emissions

Australia is the world's largest exporter of coal as well as relying heavily on fossil fuels to meet the country's energy consumption, but the authorities would seem unfavotically supportive of cutting polluting emissions planned for the next COP26 climate conference scheduled for November in Scotland in Glasgow in order to achieve a zero target by 2050. However there is talk of an Australian plan to reduce emissions already ready even if the timing to implement it and put it into practice is not clear. Environmentalists argue that Australia's climate inaction could lead to severe economic damage from fires, storms and floods; then the researchers warn that extreme phenomena with global warming will become more and more frequent (and in many cases they are already the norm with disastrous consequences).

Damage to the Canary due to volcanic eruption

Due to the flow of lava that continues to leave the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, the authorities would have evacuated over six thousand inhabitants while slowly one after the other the magma destroys houses, tourist facilities, roads and various infrastructures with consequent significant damage; then it is feared that reaching the sea the lava may favor the formation of toxic clouds of water vapor that with the wind could also reach other Canary Islands (damaging the entire tourism sector). To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report an earthquake of magnitude 5.8 with epicenter south of Mount Bouller that recently shook the state of Victoria in Australia causing significant damage that at first had been defined as mild, there is talk of damage also in the city of Melbourne.

Eruption in the Canaries and fires in California

The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island La Palma of the Canaries (which has eighty-three thousand inhabitants) has forced the evacuation of about five thousand people as well as alerting the authorities since the eruptive activity, with projection of volcanic ash and lapilli, could last for days; in addition, the lava would have reached villages at El Paso National Park. The Canaries are characterized by volcanic activity and in 1971 this volcano was already erupted, then the island of Tenerife is also volcanic. As for the fires in California the situation in a large area where there are millennial giant redwoods including a huge and universal heritage called "General Sherman" is worrying, so much so that teams of firefighters have proceeded to wrap the base of the trunk with large aluminum sheets to protect it from fire.

Increased size of ozone hole over Antarctica

In recent weeks the ozone hole in the atmosphere above the southern hemisphere has increased considerably and according to data monitored by researchers the size exceeds that of Antarctica; so it is larger than usual and potentially even deeper. Atmospheric ozone is of great importance by absorbing ultraviolet rays that come from the Sun and its absence poses a risk to living organisms due to the greater amount of strong radiation that reaches the Earth. The phase to eliminate all the gases that increase the ozone hole could last, according to some estimates, until 2060. To report changing the subject but remaining naturalistic themes a strong storm at Malpensa near Milan in Italy with inconvenience for some motorists stuck in submerged cars that were brought to safety with rubber naval dinghies.

Earthquake in Mexico

A quantifiable 7.1 magnitude earthquake would have affected a large area near the Pacific coast and Acapulco, with its epicenter eleven kilometers southeast of the city; there is talk of a victim in the nearby town of Coyuca de Benitez due to the fall of a light pole, then other poles fallen on cars with consequent interruption of the electricity supply and the collapse of the façade of a church, but without the authorities having communicated other significant damage. The population fears for aftershocks and many gas leaks would have been detected in residential areas, then in Mexico City many residents and tourists poured into the streets. Among the major earthquakes that struck Mexico, which is positioned on five tectonic plates, we remember one in September 1985 of magnitude 8.1 that caused over ten thousand victims and destroyed hundreds of buildings.

Urgent action to protect biodiversity

At a conference in Marseille it would have emerged how climate change is already a terrifying reality by examining for example data on damage to vegetation and biodiversity caused by devastating fires that occurred in the world this summer in addition to extreme events, degradation of seas and oceans. The measures discussed to protect nature will have no real legal effect and it is only hoped that they will influence the next decisions on these arguments at COP15 in China in October and COP26 in Britain in November since the disappearance of entire species and ecosystems are a direct consequence of human activities and a considerable damage to the well-being of humanity. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the recent floods in South Sudan that have affected about three hundred and eighty thousand people and not very positive weather forecasts regarding rainfall.

Many endangered tree species

It is estimated that seventeen thousand five hundred species of trees are at risk of extinction and therefore about thirty percent of the total, then another four hundred and forty would have remained less than fifty specimens in the world and everyone should be aware of how much the trees need help; at least according to the opinion of researchers who say that the number of endangered tree species is twice that of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles combined. The extinction of a single plant could mean that of many others because trees generally help to keep the natural ecosystem in balance as well as absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide thus limiting the greenhouse effect. Among the most endangered species are reported the magnolias of the Caribbean due to the rise in sea level and severe climatic conditions.

While Hurricane "Nora" now downgraded to a tropical storm has affected large areas of Mexico causing one casualties and seven missing in Louisiana, the impact of Hurricane "Ida" has passed from category four to one, but still potentially dangerous and capable of causing serious damage (.. one victim). The initial gusts of wind of the strong vortex at over two hundred kilometers per hour have already brought down many power lines in New Orleans with interruptions in the supply of electricity in much of the city as well as inconvenience for the population that has been partly evacuated to the areas most at risk. The authorities have declared a state of emergency and in the crowded shelters the SARS-CoV-2 virus could easily spread considering that it had not been possible to evacuate the hospitals already full of Covid patients since there are few places available even in Texas and Florida.

Difficulties in Tennessee over floods

Broken roads, towers for telephone communications and damaged mobile phone towers make it difficult to rescue Tennessee in the United States (especially in rural areas) and search for the dozens of missing after the floods that have submerged many areas, meanwhile the death toll would have increased to at least twenty-two. Many houses have been partially or even completely destroyed and rivers of debris sail on water lakes formed due to rainfall and storms of unusual intensity, then the researchers warn that it is a typical scenario of extreme phenomena related to climate change. To note are some minor floods in other states of the country due to the effects of tropical storm "Henri" which also caused interruptions in the supply of electricity for example on the coasts of Rhode Island.

Mediterranean most affected by greenhouse effect

Following the red alert launched by international organizations about the rise in global temperatures worse than expected and with irreversible consequences due to the greenhouse effect linked to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels, some researchers warn that the Mediterranean area in the coming decades may be affected to a greater extent than others (perhaps twenty percent more) by heat waves, drought and fires. The risks related to the rise of the seas, the decline in biodiversity as well as water scarcity for about ten million people with coastal floods and heat waves with really unhealthy effects are also worrying; then there will be a drop in production for the agricultural sector, fishing and tourism activities. The objectives of reducing polluting emissions must be achieved in order to avoid extreme phenomena until zero emissions are reached as soon as possible.

Scarce resources for a crowded planet

On the day when it is estimated that the planet's natural resources have already been exhausted, starting from the beginning of the year, to support humanity and in practice it continues in debt, many argue that it is essential to change lifestyle to achieve a minimum global balance and to be able to guarantee a balanced nutrition to the populations of the globe. For example continuing to eat meat can only lead to the destruction of many ecosystems as is happening to the forests of the Amazon, burned and cut to make way for intensive farms mainly designed for the slaughter of animals, producing a huge amount of CO2 probably higher than that absorbed by the vegetation.

In the meantime there is talk of controversy regarding the hydrogeological instability and the overbuilding of entire areas that are transformed into rivers and lakes due to the intense rainfall favored by climate change; in fact, the atmosphere retains more water vapor and the frequency of storms is increased. In practice although many people have sought refuge above the roofs, the force of water has reached them and dragged them away as happened for example in Rhineland-Palatinate and many say that it was necessary to intervene first to limit polluting emissions and protect the environment.

In general there is little attention in the population for climate change and the consequences that could lead to making the most affected areas uninhabitable, then it seems that the Chinese metropolises (including Shanghai, Beijing and Handan) are responsible for a huge amount of greenhouse gas emissions that end up feeding heat waves that damage very productive agricultural land in the country. To note changing the argument heat waves monitored globally even in the seas, in particular in the Pacific Northwest, which threaten marine species.

Reducing water consumption in California

California authorities extending the drought emergency to new affected areas are calling on nearly half of the state's population to reduce water consumption by fifteen percent, for example in irrigation of gardens and showering; then also industrial, commercial and agricultural activities will have to be careful in the use of water. After two years of drought reserves have shrunk to two-thirds of normal levels due to a shortage of rainfall, especially in large areas in the north and central of the state, while those in the south are apparently less affected. There are fears of fires favoured by the dryness of vegetation to the detriment of forests already ravaged by fires in the past. It should be noted that some say that the recent unprecedented heatwave in Canada and the United States cannot be explained without taking into account the excessive consumption of fossil fuels.

Storms and landslides in Japan

There are two victims and twenty missing as a result of violent storms and landslides, as happened in Atami in Shizuoka Prefecture southwest of Tokyo where ten houses were destroyed and about seventy damaged by the mass of mud, sediment and debris that was dragged downstream from a high seas; there is also talk of three hundred and ninety evacuation orders and maximum alert for thousands of residents due to the danger of more landslides while rescue teams search for the missing and the coast guard is also engaged in searches in the port area. Typically in the country (also affected by worrying outbreaks of Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus) in areas affected by storms the level of rivers is very high and flooding may occur since it is raining and forecasts announce further rainfall.

California in the grip of wildfires, heat and nCoV

The heatwave that is affecting the West Coast of the United States favors wildfires in California also due to strong gusts of wind that feed the flames with burnings in nearly eighty square kilometers of vegetation in Siskiyou County and thousands of evacuations near the small town of Weed (there is talk of a victim during the execution of evacuation orders); then another smaller front of fire extends northeast of the previous one. With regard to the SARS-CoV-2 virus epidemic, health authorities are monitoring a worrying increase in the number of cases of contagion due to the Delta variant especially in unvaccinated people. It should be noted completely changing the argument that an intense heatwave is hitting Iraq with temperatures of fifty degrees Celsius in the capital Baghdad and fifty-one in the provinces south of the country of Basra, Qadisiyah and Muthanna.

Heatwaves in the United States and Italy

What is called a historic heat dome that has led to record temperatures in Canada would also have its effects in large areas in the north of the United States with marked discomfort for the population, in practice it is the combination of several factors that lead to a kind of overheating hood favored by climate change and atmospheric pressure. As is often the case in these cases many look for places to find a little refreshment in a situation of heat and high percentage of humidity unhealthy for the organism. As far as Italy there is talk of temperatures that could be exceed forty degrees Celsius in the south due to the persistence of an African-based anticyclone on the peninsula with alerts for densely populated centers for the formation of heat islands.

Tornado lashes southern Czech Republic

Three people have been killed and one hundred and fifty were injured as a result of a rare tornado that lashed southern Moravia in the Czech Republic with wind peaks of even more than three hundred and twenty kilometers per hour, F3-F4 level the strongest in the history of Central Europe. Media photos show homes and some churches with roofs destroyed, then broken windows, uprooted trees and damaged cars in the streets after the vortex passed; the village of Hrusky was particularly damaged, but there is also talk of significant damage in seven other small towns while the authorities have sent rescue teams and emergency units. Noteworthy is changing the topic heatwaves with abnormal temperatures in Canada and Siberia, then in Italy some large areas in the South for days have been struggling with an unhealthy heatwave and in some cases even fires.

Flooding and landslides due to Monsoon in Nepal

At least sixteen people have been killed and twenty-two missing as a result of flash flood and landslides in Nepal's Manang and Sindhupalchok districts due to heavy rain showers favoured by the arrival of the rain-laden Monsoon at its maximum strength, while the authorities who activated the rescue are trying to get report of the damage to homes and structures. Previously the weather forecast announced for 2021 the early arrival of the monsoon season that causes victims and damage in the country every year. It should be noted by shifting the attention to Italy that continues the African heatwave lately especially in the Puglia region where the temperatures monitored for example in the province of Foggia exceed forty degrees Celsius with high percentage of humidity in the air and feeling of discomfort for the population that has poured into the crowded beaches of the coast.

A carbon tax to facilitate the transition

A global emission tax could facilitate the transition to sustainable energy, cleaner mobility, low environmental impact technologies; at least according to international organisations that suggest gradually increasing the price of coal and fossil fuels in order to achieve the goal of containing the increase in average temperatures due to the greenhouse effect and this cannot happen with the current really very low level of taxation. The data monitored lately regarding the rise in average temperatures in the atmosphere and sea are alarming, for example the melting of ice in the Arctic in the summer is now the norm (a tipping point of the irreversible global warming) with disastrous consequences on biodiversity, then the sea absorbs more and more heat due to the lack of reflection of the sun's rays on the clear icy surface.

Rodent population on the rise in Australia

Climate change in Australia with years of drought followed by devastating fires, then torrential rain and significant temperature changes, are creating the conditions conducive to the uncontrolled increase in the rodent population so much so that some farmers are forced to use all kinds of traps to catch the mice that are devouring them; there is also talk of a plague that is really difficult to eradicate so that warehouses always remain under constant attack. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the deforestation monitored in the first five months in the Amazon forest in Brazil would increase by twenty-five percent compared to the previous year and in May by sixty-seven percent, mainly to make way for intensive farms.

New CO2 emissions record detected

In May four hundred and twelve hundred and nine hundred and nine hundred million parts per million concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be detected a new record reached despite the pandemic, so much so that it is estimated that every year human activities add about forty billion metric tons of CO2 and needless to say that we should zero emissions as soon as possible because greenhouse gases persist in the atmosphere and oceans for thousands of years tending to increase the temperatures. The monitored data comes from the observatory located in Mauna Loa, Hawaii and considered a good detection point, away from places that can pollute and isolated being located at the top of an inactive volcano. Four to four and a half million years ago in the Pliocene it appears that CO2 levels were similar with seas plus more than twenty-three meters higher and what is now the Arctic tundra covered with large forests.

Drought and food shortages in Somalia

The rainfall in early spring called in Somalia Gu would have arrived late and on average below the norm with the result that about two million eight hundred thousand people face a situation of serious food insecurity. The moderate to severe drought affects more than eighty percent of the country, then happened that even where it rained in practice it was storms that affected four hundred thousand people, of which more than one hundred thousand were forced to evacuate; while humanitarian organizations distribute basic necessities (the country has been grappling for decades even with conflicts that only worsen the condition of the population). It should be noted by changing the subject that the Venezuelan authorities are calling on the "human family" to have a global debate that will lead to collaboration for the ecological transition.

Ship burns in Sry Lanka spilling plastic into sea

Residues from several tonnes of plastic pellets used to make bags would end up at sea (and in the air), as well as large amounts of nitric acid and other chemical compounds, after a ship caught fire off the port of Colombo in Sri Lanka causing severe pollution; the incident is being investigated with possible legal action against the owners of the Singapore-flagged cargo ship, which left the Indian port of Hazira two weeks ago while the crew of different nationalities were rescued. The authorities have banned fishing for about eighty kilometres of coastline and have set up teams of people to try to deal with the environmental disaster; in fact, chemical compounds have mixed with water and threaten marine life, the coral reefs; then plastic residue and other debris reached the beaches.

Alert in Goma in Congo for fear of eruption

Almost four hundred thousand inhabitants would leave the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo for fear of another eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano (three thousand five hundred meters high) also following an alert issued by the authorities as a precaution, then there is talk of the humanitarian crisis and possible danger that the air at the volcano will become unrespirable for carbon dioxide fuses, it seems that the toxic cloud could be invisible, and a column of thick black smoke has already come out of the volcanic cone. Aftershocks, tremors and deformations of the ground with extensions reaching Lake Kivu have prompted some to sleep in schools and churches while the roads are clinging to traffic in overcharging vehicles, motorcycles and people on foot.

India in the grip of cyclones and pandemic

The weather forecast warns that Cyclone "Yaas," which is already making its effects felt over large parts of the country with heavy rainfall and wind gusts, is gaining strength in the Bay of Bengal and could become a strong cyclone storm; authorities have cancelled dozens of trains in Bengal and Odhisa, and suspended some activities related to curbing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In the meantime there would be over three hundred thousand official Covid-19 victims in the country with over three thousand five hundred in a single day even if the data monitored apparently improve and the infections lately have fallen a little below two hundred thousand cases for the first time in forty days, but the health situation and its management in general remains difficult considering that the total number of infections is close to twenty-seven million cases.

Excessive sand extraction in the world

It is estimated that more than fifty billion tons of sand, gravel and crushed rock are extracted every year mainly used to make concrete of houses and roads (silicon is also obtained from the sand useful for multimedia screens and solar panels), an excessive amount so much that in 2020 another alarming goal was exceeded; in fact, it seems that the earth is covered to a greater extent by mass of human manufacture than by natural biomass. Forecasts indicate a continuous increase in demand until a doubling for 2060, with serious damage to the environment and risk of conflict; then some talk about continuous uncontrolled theft of sand from beaches and seabeds in many areas of the world that also threaten biodiversity, so it is appropriate to focus on recycled materials. It should be noted that sand abounding in deserts is not suitable for use in buildings being too round to stick together to make concrete well.

Tornadoes near Wuhan and Suzhou in China

Seven people have been killed and more than two hundred and thirty have been killed by two tornadoes that recently hit the Caidian district near Wuhan and the city of Shengze near Suzhou in Jiangsu province, dozens of homes have collapsed as well as damage, inconveniences to the supply of electricity and a large number of uprooted trees. Residents have been surprised by the strong vortexes since tornadoes are quite rare in these regions. It should be noted by shifting the attention to India that after cyclone "Tauktae", which left a trail of destruction on the west coast of the country (at least twenty victims and over one hundred and twenty missing) the weather forecast announces the probable formation in the Bay of Bengal of another strong cyclone although for the moment no warning notices have been issued and the situation is limited to monitoring.

Strong cyclone lashes India

Heavy rainfall and wind gusts that have already claimed six lives near Goa, Karnakata, Kerala, Gujarat and damage accompany the arrival on India of the cyclone called "Tauktae" which is expected to head northwest on the Gujarat coast gaining strength and becoming very strong. Covid-19 vaccinations cannot be carried out in Mumbai due to the arrival of the cyclone with orange alert (in a country severely affected by the pandemic where people are forced to long lines and compete for the few doses available) perhaps near the coast towards Gujarat. Is also talking about high waves on the coasts of Kerala, Karnakata and Goa with a high level of alert for boats at sea on all the coasts affected by the effects of the cyclone where it is recommended to take any preventive action.

United States permanently warmer

Temperatures in the United States are estimated to have risen by half a degree over two decades and this is the new normal, then again as a result of global warming the areas to the east and central have become wetter while those to the west considerably dreer (compared to a decade ago). As far as greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel consumption the United States with eleven percent would be in second place against twenty-seven of China, followed by India at a distance and the United States in fourth place. We must consider, also in the United States, that temperatures do not rise uniformly and there are cities such as Chicago and Ashville most affected by overheating and there are rare cases where they have remained practically unchanged, even in leopard spot the variations in rainfall.

Economic transition from ecological transition

The damage caused by climate change is one of the top items of government spending in many countries of the world and only a small minority are relatively little directly affected, but in a globalised market it is still difficult not to suffer serious consequences; therefore acting quickly on the ecological transition can have important economic implications, then sustainable technologies are cheaper than fossil-based technologies. Despite this China still seems to be focusing on coal because has a great deal of resources of this very polluting fuel and has already built many plants, while the United States, where investing in renewable resources is now cheaper, now seems to be reviving the so-called green transition and cutting emissions by fifty percent as soon as possible.

Breathe microplastic and plastic fibers

The microplastic particles that reach the atmosphere carried by the wind would be produced by roads, oceans, farm fields, plastic dumps and in large quantities by textile fibers; at least according to a study in which researchers point out that plastic is a bit everywhere and for example it can happen that a vehicle that travels along roads or highways covered with plastic fragments generates enough energy to spread particles into the atmosphere carried even by the wind. The movements of ocean waves can be another source that reaches the atmosphere since the microplastic is less dense than water floating on the surface, then is talk about agriculture where fertilizers are used that derive from treatment plants that work wastewater containing significant amounts of plastic.

Earthquake in Java and tropical cyclone in Australia

At least seven people have been killed and about ten injured in the province of East Java as a result of a magnitude six earthquake, then more than three hundred buildings have been damaged, although the actual extent of the damage has yet to be verified; particularly affected Lumajang Recency. As far as Australia the authorities would have warned the inhabitants of the town of Denham (in Shark Bay five hundred kilometres north of Perth in the west of the country) to be prepared for evacuation and to open shelters for the arrival of a tropical cyclone; because it is feared that it will go from category two to three with gusts of wind at over two hundred and twenty kilometers per hour. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that it seems that the Japanese government has again changed its mind and decided to release radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima atomic plant into the sea.

At least one hundred and twenty people have been killed by floods and landslides caused by heavy rainfall in Indonesia which has affected large areas from Flores to neighbouring areas of East Timor (island between Indonesia and Australia with the capital Dili particularly affected by the wave of bad weather), there are also several missing; then thousands of houses were submerged forcing the inhabitants to reach the shelters. Authorities warn that the death toll is provisional as rescuers struggle to reach those missing due to landslides and mudslides hampering operations. It should be noted that landslides are common in Indonesia and it is estimated that more than one hundred and twenty million people live in areas at risk, but environmentalists have long argued that these disasters are favored by deforestation.

Accelerated deforestation of rainforests

The restrictions imposed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic due to the lower controls of land protection personnel and the return of large numbers of people to rural areas may have played a role in accelerating the deforestation of rainforests around the world, but the greater part is probably due to the attempt of some countries to feed their economy at the expense of vegetation and some warn that in this kind of destructive trajectory the worst is yet to come. An area of rainforest equivalent to Netherlands would have been burned or cut last year with Brazil leading the rankings (destruction is three times greater than in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country in second place); in total in the tropics the loss of vegetation is more than twelve million hectares mainly due to agricultural practices.

Most frequent heatwaves in South Asia

Simulations of climate warming predict more frequent heatwaves in South Asia (which has a quarter of the world's population) and in many regions it is estimated that they could triple with even lethal results on the population, for example working at thirty-two degrees Celsius is not healthy and at thirty-five degrees the organism can no longer regulate body temperature; then to aggravate these factors much depends on the humidity of the air. Among the countries most affected by future heatwaves would be Pakistan, India (which in 2015 has already recorded one that caused three thousand five hundred casualties) and Indonesia. Needless to say that reducing polluting emissions would limit global warming and thus lower frequency of possible heat waves.

Floods described as the worst in half a century have affected large areas of New South Wales in Australia (declared a natural disaster), particularly affected some areas of Sydney where thousand of people have been evacuated, many houses damaged and considerable inconvenience with forecasts of further waves of bad weather always characterized by heavy rainfall and also strong wind. Authorities have warned people to avoid going to low-lying areas that may be affected by the floods. As far as Italy after a period of mild temperatures there has been a sharp drop in temperatures with frosts on apricots, peaches, flowering them a little leopard-spot on the peninsula; in some cases there is talk of loss of crop and damage to all vegetation in general due to off-season frosts.

There is talk of reforestation of areas subject to deforestation to form a kind of large green wall to stem the phenomenon and already many trees had been planted also to prevent the continued desertification that ends up feeding severe sandstorms.

Coasts of Lebanon soiled by hydrocarbons

The Lebanese authorities would like to assert their rights with regard to possible compensation for environmental damage following the recent loss of oil hydrocarbons (from an unidentified vessel) that has soiled the country's coasts, having proceeded to quantify the significant extent of the damage with area observations, also complaining about the consequences that still affect large areas due to oil spills caused by a bombing of Israel in July 2006; the plant hit in southern Lebanon near Jiyeh had smeared one hundred and seventy kilometers of coastline. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the international interest in achieving climate neutrality for 2050 or earlier is growing, but in reality dependence on fossil sources and investments for their research remain relevant.

Investigation about frozen Texas energy grid

Texas authorities would have verified that Texas' energy grid was under greater stress than previously thought due to the recent wave of bad weather characterized by freezing temperatures that hit the country (dozens of victims in the south of the United States for related causes); in fact, many circuits would have lead to automatic shutdowns also due to the abnormal heating demand for homes leaving a large part of the population without electricity supply, then millions of users remained for an extended period in the dark until the restoration of the plants and even the gas supply had remained out of use. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the leakage of crude oil from an unidentified oil tanker off the coast of Israel with consequent release of oil hydrocarbons and tar that have soiled animals, seabed and beaches.

As far as Italy many roads are icy, a bit like leopard spots along the peninsula, due to the siberian frost wave that made its action felt in particular in areas of the south of the country even with strong thermal changes, as happened for example in Sicily and Aeolian Islands.

Influence of jet streams on temperatures

A sudden drop in temperatures that occurs more and more frequently may be due for example to the weakening of jet streams that insist on the North Pole about ten kilometers above the ground keeping the polar vortex as confined to a circular area, but the same climate warming causes variations in the intensity of the planet's global currents including jet streams (until they collapse) also changing the winter climate. For similar climatic mechanisms in summer the opposite phenomenon can occur with long periods characterized by scorching temperatures. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the partial closure of the so-called ozone hole thanks to the reduction of illegal CFC-11 emissions in China considered as an altering climate.

Landslide portion of a glacier in India

At least twenty-six people have died and one hundred and seventy are missing as a result of flooding of the Dhauli Ganga River caused by the calving of a portion of the Nandadevi Glacier, in Uttarkhand in the Chamoli region, already significantly affected by global warming. It appears that the victims were dam workers overwhelmed by a wave of water and debris, then some of the missing were workers at work in another dam and it is expected that the river can level up to begin the search in a tunnel submerged by water. The authorities have allocated a sum to deal with the emergency and have evacuate some villages affected by the flooding which has also damaged bridges and roads. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues an earthquake in the Philippines of magnitude 6.3 that would have caused damage in the province of Davao del Sur.

Indonesia climate indicators to be evaluated

The capacity to deal with new climate crises in Indonesia is very limited, at least according to the authorities of the country that analyzing data on climate disasters that occurred in January verified an increased hydrometeorological risk; then in vintages from 2015 to 2020 that are the hottest ever recorded individual disastrous events have multiplied, in practice doubling from 2015 to 2020. Mitigation measures against climate crises are needed since more than one hundred people died in January, then the 19-nCoV pandemic which hinders all intervention must also be taken into account; for example in the capital Jakarta the situation regarding infections has recently deteriorated considerably with difficulties of receptiveness to hospitals, exasperation for the population with consequent violation of the rules of containment of the virus.

Blizzard in the New York urban city area

Authorities have imposed restrictions on non-essential travel due to a blizzard that has affected the New York city area by crippling traffic in the metropolis, then there is talk of inconvenience to the population as well as closed schools and postponement of planned vaccinations against the SARS-CoV-2 virus epidemic. The forecast announces more snowfall that could form a mantacy of more than sixty centimeters in the major metropolitan areas and if the storm reaches its greatest potential it could cause extreme conditions to be faced worse than those experienced in 2016 (the manto reached seventy centimeters). It should be noted by shifting the attention to Italy that the thermal zero these days is moving quickly at ever higher altitudes with consequent risk of avalanches and accidents for those who venture into the mountains.

The Indonesian authorities are failing to properly manage the emergency in the provincial capital Mamuju (of almost three hundred thousand inhabitants) after a strong earthquake that three days ago struck the Sulawesi island, there is talk of at least eighty-one victims then it is not clear how many people were buried by mountains of debris and many injured refuse to go to the hospital for fear of further tremors. Doctors in confusion and general fatigue must also be ware of SARS-CoV-2 virus infections and curtains are being set up to hospitalize patients. Some survivors complain that food, blankets and other basic necessities are missing; while digging through the rubble and many people were pulled alive by rescuers. In Indonesia earthquakes are frequent due to the friction of tectonic plates of the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire.

Too many blankets envelop the planet

Releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for decades means in figurative terms according to some researchers to covering the planet with thick blankets that keep the heat for a long time; a bit like in a bed and add blankets to stay warmer, but basically too many to the point where start sweating with an unpleasant feeling of discomfort. This does not necessarily mean that these blankets must be removed, but at least not to add others also because the climate trend shows a decisive overheating year after year (a growing line with normal variations in the peaks monitored for forty-four years). Despite the reduction in emissions due to the 19-nCoV pandemic global warming continues to show its long-lasting negative effects due to heat accumulated even in the seas during decades of uncontrolled emissions.

Landslide for heavy rains in Indonesia

Thirteen people were killed, eighteen injured and twenty-seven people were missing as a result of a landslide that hit the village of Cihanjuang in Sumedang district in the province of West Java, caused by particularly heavy rainfall and rather unstable soil conditions. It is digging to search for the missing among the eighteen houses that collapsed even by heavy vehicles and the authorities have evacuated other areas in fear that more landslides may occur. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the abnormal low temperatures recorded in Spain and in many European countries while in Greece with twenty-eight Celsius degrees people have poured on the beaches often violating the rules of containment against the spread of the 19-nCoV virus.

Climate migration from Pakistan

It is estimated that eighteen million people in South Asia have been forced to migrate as a result of climate change many of them appear to be from Pakistan, a country particularly affected by climatic variations for example with regard to rainfall with long periods of drought followed by storms and consequent floods (reported at the level of climate criticality the areas north of Gilgit-Baltistan and then the southern coastal belt of Sindh also for the rise of the sea). Although glaciers are melting due to global warming causing flooding many areas lack the usual water flow and soils become depleted. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Italy the climatic variations seen last year are now in practice considered the new normal.

Major landslide over a village in Norway

A village in Norway twenty-five kilometres northeast of the capital Oslo has been hit by a large landslide that destroyed several homes and others were dragged to the brink; there are at least twelve missing and ten injured, then seven hundred people have been evacuated and another thousand and five hundred may be forced to leave the affected area which has become unstable and covered in mud. The authorities would have stated that they did not know exactly how many people from the town of Ask in the municipality of Gjerdrum are missing from the appeal, defining the incident as a disaster and the serious situation also because of the difficulty of carrying out rescues that in practice are possible only by helicopter. The landslide is the largest in Norway recently and the possibility of other such events is considered low for the time being.

A storm lashes France and Wales

Torrential rainfall and heavy gusts of wind caused by the storm called "Bella" lashed many French regions and in particular Brittany and Normandy in the north and west of the country with tens of thousands of utilities left without electricity supply, then there were transport disruptions although the authorities said they had solved the most significant critical issues. Similar is the situation in Wales and the south of England with fallen trees and branches on energy lines, road and rail links causing inconvenience to the population. It should be noted by shifting the attention to Italy the wave of bad weather (.. is talk of two victims and two injured) always connectable to the effects of the same storm with sharp drops in temperatures that have gone from mild values to winter, therefore quite normal; but with snow even at low altitudes.

Biodiversity funds eroded by nCoV recovery

Financial resources to deal with the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic are reducing the funds allocated to environmental protection, but researchers warn that it is also necessary to invest in biodiversity to prevent future pandemics. It is essential to rebuild a healthy relationship with nature with a turning point regarding unsustainable habits and therefore changing lifestyles, then should evaluate the relations between all economic sectors in order to mitigate the pressure on nature by improving the ecological footprint. To report changing argument the important economic impact complained about by the authorities in Honduras due to the hurricanes that hit Central America last month and the climate emergency linked to the rise in average temperatures in the world, as for example now in the case in Australia struggling with yet another heatwave.

Some corals withstand heatwaves

The corals monitored in Kiritimati Atoll in the Pacific Ocean seem to have managed to withstand without bleaching the heatwave that occurred in 2015-18 as a result of the global current called "El Nigno" and in some areas they also appear to be in good health, but only where they live in non-stressful conditions related to human activities such as water pollution. This discovery shows how it is possible to protect the underwater ecosystem with local protection strategies considering that corals covering less than one percent of the ocean floor allow the survival of a quarter of marine species. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the researchers emphasize that it is necessary to limit methane emissions in addition to those of carbon dioxide to keep global temperatures in balance.

Bad weather and damage in Italy

There would be two victims in Italy due to the wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall and consequent floods (and evacuations for example near Mantua due to the flooding of the Panaro river) often caused by hydrogeological failure, then a lot of snow at high altitude in the Alps especially in Trentino, Veneto and Friuli where avalanches hinder connections. There is talk of several isolated locations including renowned tourist resorts in the Belluno province, then power outages for tens of thousands of utilities generally due to fallen trees and branches on power lines as well as damage; a bridge collapsed with a rescue vehicle on it, fortunately at that time without personnel on board.

Storms with damage in Sardinia in Italy

There are three victims in Sardinia in the town of Bitti in the province of Nuoro due to a prolonged storm that has caused landslides as well as floods of mud and debris, interrupted communications replaced by the radio transmissions that rescuers use to organize; then there is talk of evacuations also in neighbouring villages. Other areas of Sardinia were also affected in particular near Oristano, Olbia and Sassari with damage and inconvenience, then the beach of Cala Luna in Ogliastra was wiped out. To report changing topic a whirlwind in Catania that has not caused any injuries and the initiative recently taken in Milan (called ForestMi) to reforest the metropolitan city with thousands of trees in order to improve air quality and increase green spaces by fifty percent.

Bad weather and damage in Calabria in Italy

A wave of bad weather characterized by torrential rainfall has hit Calabria, there is talk of four hundred millimeters of rain in a few hours that have turned the roads into streams, particularly affected the city of Crotone where can not see well the border between the sea and a kind of lake that has formed on roads and squares close to the sea; isolated the village of Melissa where a bridge also collapsed, then reported damage to crops and inconvenience with homes and activities flooded with a request for a state of emergency. It should be noted by shifting attention to other scenarios but remaining on naturalistic issues that recently a landslide in Indonesia caused by heavy rainfall caused one victim and two injuries in the village of Cianjur in the west of Java and a large area was affected by bad weather.

A hurricane lashes Nicaragua

The same stretch of Caribbean coast that was lashed two weeks ago by a strong vortex was lashed by another category four hurricane with gusts of wind at two hundred and fifty kilometers per hour called "Iota" and then degraded to a tropical storm affecting also Nicaragua and heading inland of the country causing panic and damage. Is talking about nine victims and several missing; but power lines, telephone and internet connections are damaged making difficult to understand what the real situation is. About forty thousand people have taken refuge in evacuation areas while many have failed to reach them and there are complaints of lack of food and water, then some say that this hurricane is worse than the previous one (Eta) describing the visible effects with uncovered roofs and uprooted trees.

Typhoon lashes Philippines

At least forty-two people have died in the typhoon called "Vamco" which has hit the Philippines with strong winds of more than one hundred and fifty kilometres per hour and gusts of more than two hundred and fifty, causing extensive flooding so much so that in many villages near Manila the population has been forced to take refuge above the roofs and many people are missing. The authorities had evacuated four hundred thousand people before the strong vortex arrived, then rescue teams were sent who had to use amphibious vehicles (designed for insurrection) in support of the search, moving in a muddy terrain and among various debris. As often happen in these cases there is a lack of electricity supply and internet coverage causing panic to grow among the population already tried.

A storm lashes Guatemala and Central America

Storm "Eta" hit Guatemala causing torrential rainfall, floods and landslides that buried about one hundred and fifty homes in the remote village of Queja in the north of the country; there is talk of one hundred victims and many also missing in other areas hit by the force of the vortex considering that only one helicopter is available for rescue operations in a country of seventeen million of people, then there would be victims in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. After the floods in Honduras many people were forced to climb on the roofs of houses in the city of San Pedro Sula and the streets turned into streams of water. The hurricane, which has now been downgraded to a tropical depression, has not yet lost all power and is apparently heading for Cuba and Florida.

At least ten people have been killed and dozens missing in the southern Philippines due to the passage of the typhoon called "Goni" characterized by strong gusts of wind and torrential rain, particularly affected the main island of Luzon where there is talk of more than three hundred houses submerged under a mass formed of mud, debris, rocks and volcanic material (coming from the slopes of the Mayol volcano) especially in the province of Albay in the Bicol region. The coasts have been affected by storms, then many rivers are flooded and some dams have been destroyed, overwhelming villages in the Bicol region. Hundreds of thousands of people evacuated to reception centres, raising the issue of having to comply with protocols to avoid easy transmission of the 19-nCoV virus, while rescuers search for the missing.

Some villages already affected a few days ago by the wave of bad weather (which mainly affected the Philippines) were again flooded due to the strong vortex. Forty thousand the people evacuated and rescuers dig also with heavy vehicles in search of the missing, then the crew members of two fishing boats are also missing.

At least twenty-five thousand people were reportedly evacuated in the Philippines in provinces south of the capital Manila due to the typhoon called "Molave" characterized by strong gusts of wind and torrential rain, particularly affected the city of Pola on the island of Mindoro in the central Philippines; then there is talk of thirteen missing persons, damage with roofs uncovered and floods even in areas that had already been affected a few days ago by a tropical storm. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Kenya recently floods in the Rift Valley and continuous rise of lakes (defined as unprecedented and with consequences for the biodiversity of the entire area) have forced tens of thousands of people to move to higher positions with considerable inconvenience and abandoning their activities.

Corals of larger species in distress

Rapidly increasing damage to corals due to climate warming and larger species would be those that show the greatest signs of suffering that are clearly visible for bleaching due to the expulsion of algae living in symbiosis in their tissues (eighty to ninety percent loss compared to those present in the last twenty-five years), then fish and other creatures can no longer find refuge among their extroflexions with characteristic variegated colors. It is a continuous decline that is destroying the underwater ecosystem and its delicate balance between species so much that it affects in about twenty-five years half of the Great Barrier Reef, which is two thousand thirty-three hundred kilometers long, with consequences also on Australian tourism.

Climate issue hampered by nCoV pandemic

Planned action to combat climate change is hampered by the effects on the planet of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, which has significant economic consequences, but many countries grappling with changing climatic conditions and rising seas are calling for urgent action arguing that their survival depends on them. Delaying the response to climate change means making them irreversible and although in the presence of initiatives such as planting five million trees in Ethiopia or developing crops resistant to salt, reduce floods and droughts in Bangladesh and producing one hundred percent of renewable energy in Costa Rica, international support is always needed. The data monitored on global warming with continuous recorded temperature records leave no room for further intervention delays.

California wildfire record

More than eight thousand two hundred outbreaks in California have devoured one million six hundred thousand hectares of vegetation, a new record for a truly disastrous fire season and more than double of the last year; then is speak of thirty-one victims and eight thousand four hundred buildings destroyed by flames and unbreathable air in large areas, while the emergency is still high due to climate change that has made the soil drier and therefore the vegetation easily flammable. Hit the vineyards for example partly near the city of Santa Rosa and near Calistoga in Napa County where the entire population of five thousand people was evacuated. The most destructive fires occurred in areas north of California where mountains and hills dotted with dry trees fueled the flames.

Some of the damage may have been caused by hydrogeological failure, then images provided by the media show people digging hard between mudslides and debris [..two victims, sixteen missing, a bridge collapsed in Piedmont province]. The situation in the south of France in coastal areas is not much better; in fact, there is talk for example of twelve missing near Nice, damaged houses, subsidence of sections on the coast and landslides.

More stable oceans absorb less CO2

Another warning from researchers for the so-called stratification of the Oceans, in practice more stable with less circulation and mixing between surface and deeper waters; in fact, unlike in the atmosphere rising global temperatures in the oceans reduce that fresher healthy water flow rich in oxygen and nutrients from the seabed with that on the surface which also tends to absorb less carbon dioxide. Melting ice with water accumulating on the surface of the Oceans worsens the situation, regarding stratification and stabilization, since it is water lighter than salt water. Among the consequences of this phenomenon, more intense and destructive hurricanes, reduction of biodiversity due to less oxygenation and sea heat waves.

Smoke from U.S. wildfires over high-altitude

Such is the amount of pollutants emitted by fires in many outbreaks on the West Coast of the United States to climb up to eight thousand meters and then reach large distances, at least according to the statements of the researchers that through satellite observations would have detected traces of smoke up above Europe. Meanwhile the numerous simultaneous fires are running out of resources in the affected states to deal with the emergency, especially in Oregon where there are reports twelve victims and dozens missing, twenty-five in California and eight thousand homes and structures would have been destroyed in three states.

The twenty-nine large wildfires that are devouring California's vegetation involve sixteen thousand seven hundred firefighters and there are twenty-two victims, four thousand destroyed structures and many people forced to leave their homes to reach evacuation centers traveling on roads immersed in a kind of dense hood of unbreathable fog of smoke; then there would be controversy between local and national authorities on the climate issue (on the one hand it is denounced the rise in temperatures and on the other there is "expect cooler periods") and on efficiency of forest management. As regard Indonesia storms have affected some areas of the country such as for example happened in a village in South Sulawesi that had been inundated for a long time in July and is now again grappling with flooding.

Climate change causes wildfires in Oregon

In Oregon U.S. authorities said they are feeling the acute impact of climate change after wildfires destroyed entire communities and caused several deaths and devoured vegetation in the affected areas; in fact, firefighters complain of the difficult task of intervening in areas where vegetation quickly catches fire spreading at great speed community after community due to drought and an unusual hot and dry wind (in California it seems that the same fires sometimes causing wind that brings smoke to great distances forming a kind of orange mist). It should be noted by shifting the attention to South America that repeated large fires in the Pantanal rainforest in the Amazon would be destroying the characteristic tropical vegetation very rich from the biodiversity point of view causing a very serious and irreparable damage.

Authorities have advised to remain calm as aftershocks could continue. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the next end announced for the famous Marmolada glacier in Italy, is calculated about fifteen years, with a situation defined as dramatic; in fact, more than eighty percent of the volume of ice has merged in seventy years.

Downgraded hurricane lashes United States

At least six people were killed in Louisiana by "Laura" hurricane with thousands of homes damaged, roofs uncovered, floods, large areas without electricity supply; but according to the testimonies prevails the relief for the escaped danger (no victims in Texas) since the strength of the vortex was less violent than expected as destructive effects going from category four to two and then further downgraded even if the emergency has not completely passed for the possible effects on the territory towards the inside the country of what is now a tropical storm. Before arriving in the United States where authorities had evacuated tens of thousands of people, trying to avoid the 19-nCoV outbreak, the hurricane had caused dozens of casualties and damage in the Caribbean, particularly affected on the island of Hispaniola and Haiti.

Emissions without controls in the United States

With the justification of the 19-nCoV emergency, the United States authorities would have allowed less controls on polluting emissions to thousands of operators in the oil and gas industry as well as farmers; this is in part because Covid's containment and space rules hamper the implementation of environmental controls. It is difficult to determine the impact of these measures even if even before some for example protested about unmonitored leaks of methane (a high greenhouse gas) from fracking extraction plants, a procedure with a high environmental impact increasingly used in the country.

Discussions about shipwrecked ship in Mauritius

After the shipwrecked Japanese cargo ship near the coast of Mauritius broke down in two, spilling into the sea more large quantities of hydrocarbons that had remained in the hull, despite the pumping operations from the tanks carried out to try to avoid a natural disaster, there is talk of "hot" discussions (Japan is also struggling with a heat wave with temperatures above forty-one Celsius degrees in the city of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka prefecture) on why this ship, also modern enough and equipped with advanced navigation systems, has approached the coast at a distance much less than the sixteen kilometers expected.

Study about rising droughts in Europe

The data on the exceptional drought recorded in 2018-2019 especially in the summer months would be unprecedented in the last two hundred and fifty years with long-term consequences on the vegetation of Central Europe. Forecasts using computerised climate models suggest that prolonged droughts will be more frequent in the future if polluting emissions continue to increase and thus could almost double the areas of crops destined to be affected by climate change (an estimated forty million hectares, equivalent to sixty percent of the crops in the affected areas).

Wildfire in California and hurricane in Carolina

A vast fire called the "Apple Fire" is quickly devouring vegetation near Los Angeles (Cherry Valley about a hundred and ten kilometers east of the big city) forcing eight thousand inhabitants to leave their homes; only one fire front is under control thanks to the intervention of more than two thousand firefighters with the support of firefighting aircraft and helicopters, but high flames fueled by rather dry vegetation continue to advance without respite. As for the tropical storm "Isaias", which is downgraded to a tropical storm, it seems to be approaching the North Carolina after causing some damage in Florida in recent days where thousands of homes are still without electricity supply, then the weather forecasters warn that the strong vortex could head towards the state of New York gaining strength and then again classified as a hurricane.

Hurricane threatens Texas

The Atlantic hurricane called "Hanna", the first of the 2020 season, would have already arrived in Texas and there are fears for the population for any flooding and landslides caused by torrential rainy precipitation accompanied by strong wind gusts in a state already affected by the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic with a considerable increase in the number of infections monitored in recent days. Authorities say they are prepared for the arrival of the vortex, but often the population often already stressed by the virus feels the increasing anxiety, then there may be tornadoes in addition to the hurricane that is also expected to affect some areas of Mexico. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a study hypothesizes that despite a virtuous behavior in the disposal of plastic more than seven hundred and seventy million tons could end in the sea by 2040.

Global effects of the heat wave in Siberia

Average temperatures above ten degrees Celsius in the Arctic in some large parts of Siberia have prompted researchers to make alarming statements about the cascading global effects of abnormal climate warming in these regions, such as fueling fires, melting permafrost and favoring invasive species capable of producing colonies that can quickly devour pine-like vegetation with larvae attacking conifers making them even more vulnerable to fire. These worrying environmental variations are considered virtually impossible without human-caused climate change even if it is not yet known whether it is a sporadic phenomenon or if destined to become the new normal, then other factors such as an unusual strong polar vortex on the North Pole should be taken into account, which would have favoured a less cold climate in addition to the high atmospheric pressure in June resulting in higher temperatures.

Floods of the Yangtze River in China

At least one hundred and forty victims and twenty-eight thousand homes were damaged in China by the Yangtze River floods resulting in flooding in Hubei province, an area that had already been severely affected by the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak. There is talk of days of torrential rainfall (with more than four hundred and thirty rivers under observation in the country) also recording the second record in more than half a century with the authorities who had already raised the level of the alert system sending personnel and relief to the affected populations who often find themselves with a zero economy and now also have to deal with the damage due to flooding of homes, crops and activities. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on natural issues the monitored increase in emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, linked to the extraction of hydrocarbons from underground.

Floods continue in Japan

Torrential rainfall resulting in floods and landslides that have been affecting Japan for days have forced three million and six hundred thousand people to leave their homes (many preferred to sleep in their cars for fear of being infected with the Covid-19 coronavirus in the shelters set up); there are almost sixty victims, several missing and many organizational problems due to the virus. The central part of the country has recently been affected by the heavy rains that have generally been defined in the south and northeast of unprecedented level, then there would be a weather warning for the prefectures of Gifu and Nagano, while the authorities organize research and relief with concern on evacuation centers for the proximity of people indoors. To be noted changing the subject the heavy costs calculated due to hailstorms in Canada in June.

Floods for heavy rainfall in Japan

Thirty-six people were killed in Japan by floods and landslides caused by heavy rainfall with clouds, particularly affected the Kumamoto prefecture. Many people have been rescued by rescuers who have struggled to reach areas over the Kuma River that has broken embankments at several points, then it is feared that there are missing in central areas and south of the region including the cities of Yatsushiro and Hitoyoshi. Authorities have issued an evacuation order for more than two hundred thousand residents in Kumamoto prefecture and neighboring Kagoshima setting up shelters. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on natural issues other emergencies such as the melting of the fifty-one percent of the glaciers monitored in Peru and the increase in deforestation through fires in the Amazon in June compared to the already devastating one last year in the same month.

Floods in China's Yunnan Province

Three people were killed in southwest of the Yunnan Province in China due to flooding caused by torrential rainfall, then more than twenty-eight thousand people were affected by the extreme phenomena. Authorities said the infrastructure (electricity and transport) was damaged at various levels in addition to three thousand and five hundred hectares of cereal, potato, tobacco and sixty-one hectares of wheat destroyed. It should be noted by changing the topic but remaining on naturalistic issues the heat wave in different areas of Europe and especially in the north of Macedonia with temperatures that have reached thirty-eight Celsius degrees with difficulty to irrigate crops, while some invite to find solutions to deal with climate change in the territory with solutions for example of those exploited on glaciers covered by reflective white sheets.

A storm would have caused flooding in Istanbul with paralyzed traffic, flooded homes and businesses and cars trapped in creek-like streets. Then lightning struck a historic building in the City's Asian Sancaktepe district resulting in fire and panic among residents. Heavy rainfall and hailstorms resulting in damage to crops have also affected the province northwest of Bursa; moreover, the weather forecast announces more rain in the coming days. Thirteen people were killed, three injured and several missing by a landslide near the city of Anyama, near Abidjan, caused by a particularly rainy rainy season that is hampering rescue operations and also causing flooding in several municipalities.

Double danger for the Amazon

Some assess how the danger posed by the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak can overlap with the amazon rainforest fire season with devastating consequences; in fact, the authorities would have frozen funds for environmental protection as well as promoting deforestation and exploitation practices to make room for livestock, so cutting plants after fires to get the roads where trucks laden with tree trunks pass could also facilitate virus infections in inland areas of the Amazon (almost completely devoid of health care or with a system already collapsing). The particulate matter that emanates from fires lowers air quality makes it easier to infect and aggravates respiratory diseases, making the population more vulnerable in a country where the rate of infections is always high.

Worrying effects of the melting permafrost

Many infrastructures in Siberia, northern Canada and Alaska have been built with pylons that stand on the permafrost, but temperatures in the Arctic Circle increase with an average of twice as much as other parts of the globe and therefore tends to melt, leading to the melting of the ice below. Recently, a leak of twenty thousand tonnes of diesel fuel from an old large reservoir that spilled into a river in Siberia was caused by an investigation by the melting of the permafrost and this shows the worrying effects on the stability of the infrastructure, without considering that in this case hydrocarbons favour the melting of the ice resulting in the release of large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Entire cities are at risk and in some cases the population decides to abandon them.

Tropical storm in Louisiana, bad weather in Italy

A storm downgraded to a tropical depression called "Cristobal" would be lashing Louisiana near New Orleans with sustained winds and heavy rainfall (it is considered whether to declare a state of emergency), then the vortex should head toward Arkansas and Missouri. The Atlantic hurricane season, from early June through the end of November, according to forecasters will be more intense than usual. As for Italy, a wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rains and falling average temperatures is mainly affecting the northern regions, reported damage to crops in the province of Verona (in the city there have been flooding of roads, activities and homes) and in Piedmont an air horn has formed. Complaints the previous day about the hydrogeological failure at Milan due to the umpteenth flood of the Seveso River with inconvenience for the population that every time has to equip itself with sandbags and various bulkts.

Forests altered by illegal logging

The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by forests is shrinking significantly due to illegal logging and climate change with plants making up the vegetation less strong, younger and structurally less resistant with consequences on emission reduction targets to prevent global temperatures from continuing to rise. In addition to illegal deforestation, other factors also come into play to make the situation worse with regard to tree damage such as fires, droughts, strong winds and insect-related diseases, making efforts to protect climate stability increasingly burdensome; bearing in mind that the recent reduction in emissions due to the 19-nCoV pandemic, according to some, has had little impact on the global climate, then it must be considered that some very polluting consumptions such as energy consumption for homes have not decreased.

Strong cyclone in the Bay of Bengal in India

At least twelve people were killed and thousands houses damaged in the west of Bengal as a result of the cyclone called "Amphan" which with winds of more than one hundred and eighty kilometres per hour also uprooted trees, caused flooding and disrupted electricity supply in large areas, particularly affected the states of Ohisha and Bihar; more than three million people are reportedly evacuated as a precaution in India and Bangladesh on the coasts and in areas at risk, but people are often afraid to go to shelters due to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak. It is expected according to the weather forecast that the vortex, classified as a super cyclone, will move in a north or northwest direction losing power. To note changing argument that in India a heat wave is causing disruption to the population with temperatures in the capital New Delhi exceeding forty Celsius degrees.

Masks also found on uninhabited islands

In a few weeks the masks used to contain the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and not properly disposed of are reaching all areas of the globe, along with gloves and bottles of disinfectants; they are also apparently found on the uninhabited Soko Islands a few nautical miles from Hong Kong and this waste does not spare even the characteristic landscape of small Greek cities by disfiguring it. In metropolises such as New York and London there are ecological problems (and perhaps sanitary in the case of masks and gloves worn by people infected with the virus) in the disposal of all this material that aggravates the situation regarding that of plastics already difficult to manage. We should prepare a bowl with water and detergent, then dip the mask used for an appropriate time and let it dry in the sun.

High atmospheric pressure and melting ice

Periods of unusual atmospheric high pressure caused by climate change on the planet due to for example jet streams that do not favour cloudy passages tending to maintain clear skies in many areas of the globe covered in ice favor their melting; Greenland was particularly affected last year, where these phenomena add to the warming caused by the greenhouse effect and the researchers would have monitored a loss of about six hundred billion tonnes of ice, enough to cause a global rise in the seas by one and a half millimetres. Few clouds means not to filter the sun's rays also to have less snowfall than with their layers of white mantle help to protect the ice, without considering the role of pollution that with soot soils the ice accelerating the melting.

CO2 reduction for 19-nCoV has little global intake

Containment measures to deal with the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic with deserted roads, closed activities, near-zero traffic have undoubtedly reduced the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, which is positive but according to some with little global contribution to climate warming. In practice, it is a question of comparing small periods of time that cannot have a significant impact with decades of emissions without control, then there is also the risk that entrepreneurs in future times without special restrictions will try to recover in terms of non-production and market positions resulting in higher emissions. Perhaps many people will have realized (unfortunately obliged and therefore with little positive perception) that using normal technological tools it is possible to avoid using polluting transport and limit emissions.

New York Zoo tiger tested 19-nCoV positive

A four-year-old Malaysian tiger at the zoo located in the Bronx of New York (city epicenter of the outbreak in the United States) would have tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus and it is assumed that the cause of the infection is attributable to a caretaker, who at that time was asymptomatic, then generally a drop in appetite in addition to dry cough in some felines of the zoo has been noted also if is expected animals can improve quickly. The argument about possible animal contagion is controversial, but several virus-positive animals have been found in the Wuhan market in China that may have spread the infection to humans even if this should not lead to the abandonment of pets; in fact, there is no evidence of contagions that have occurred and only some precautions need to be taken.

Emissions reduction for 19-nCoV non-resolution

Environmentalists argue that reducing pollutant emissions due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic although positive cannot be a solution to the environmental issue; in fact, it seems that seven Chinese provinces forced to stop industrial production (and satellites would also have monitored a marked improvement in air quality) already have in their plans massive investments to revitalize the sector following a package already tested with targeted measures taken in previous production crises. Global emissions should be reduced as a mentality and modus vivendi, starting with individual ones and then moving on to industrial, livestock and agricultural emissions while preserving healthy biodiversity, safeguarding forests, lakes and seas.

Australia coastal infrastructure to be strengthened

Australia's heavily populated coastal areas are vulnerable to rising sea levels, so much so that authorities have posed environmental concerns, including periods of intense drought that increasingly characterise parts of the country, at the top of the list regard possible damage to infrastructure such as telecommunications facilities, railways, roads and buildings for social activities. A plan to strengthen and protect infrastructure would be under study with, for example, underwater walls and actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (in the latter case also useful to prevent further damage to the Great Barrier Reef affected during this period by another intense heat wave). It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a forest fire in Chile in the Maule region would have destroyed more than eight thousand three hundred hectares of vegetation; fire crews try to extinguish the flames, but with difficulty due to the drought.

Second swarm of locusts in east Africa

Climate change is almost certainly the cause of the waves of locust swarms that have devoured crops in various countries in eastern Africa and also in Yemen, up to Pakistan and India while a second generation of insects is already threatening again Kenya's vegetation. The instability caused in previous months by unusual heavy rainfall, followed by periods of drought and strong meteorological vortexes would have favored a rapid reproduction of locusts that are capable of moving in a day even two hundred kilometers, and a swarm of insects of about one square kilometer is said to be able to eat enough food in a single day to feed thirty-five thousand people. The authorities are trying to stop their advance by using pesticides, but some say the remedy is worse than the evil; in fact, there is a risk of contaminating the food chain in the long run as well as killing other insects.

Avalanches in Afghanistan, hot in Antarctica

At least twenty-one people were killed in Afghanistan's Daykundi province as a result of the avalanches; then six people were missing and ten wounded, while the authorities decided to close some highways and roads as a precaution. For the past two months the country has been suffering from heavy snowfall and torrential rainfall and the population is struggling to cope with climate change; moreover, it is estimated that in the future average temperatures are likely to increase significantly due to greenhouse gas emissions, considering also among the consequences that in 2018 a severe drought affected two million and two hundred thousand people. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that continues in Antarctica the heat wave with temperatures that have exceeded twenty Celsius degrees that for these areas of the planet are relatively really high, needless to say that the ices are quickly crushing and melting.

A storm lashes Europe

At least six people would have been killed by a storm called "Ciara" characterized by strong gusts of wind with peaks that reached two hundred kilometers per hour and therefore for example resulting in high storm surges on the coasts as happened in England, then uprooted trees and uncovered roofs (in Poland a roof cover fell affecting some people). In the north of France there have been power outages in large areas and in Germany many flights and rail links have been cancelled, while road side connections have generally been difficult due to trees and fallen branches on the path and the strong wind that in some cases also overturned trucks. Weather forecasts indicate that the cyclonic vortex tends to move southand is going to affect Corsica and regions on the Adriatic of southern Italy, but gusts of about one hundred kilometers per hour have already been reported in Piedmont [.. a victim to Sondrio in Lombardy].

Deforestation doubled in the Amazon

Compared to last year January the satellite-monitored deforestation in the Amazon would have doubled last month, so more than two hundred and eighty square kilometers means an increase of one hundred and eight percent; it is the largest area ever damaged by deforestation (at least since this type of data began to be detected and compared in 2015, with a tendency to increase steadily from year to year). Brazilian authorities who say they are skeptical of climate change have tried first to downplay the devastation caused by the fires in August, then saying that the rate of deforestation reported by the media is exaggerated; but apparently it has also been a plan, yet to be approved, for mining exploitation, hydropower and the breeding of land belonging to native populations.

Record heat for January 2020

Globally on average, January would have been the warmest on record with three Celsius degrees of warming in Europe compared to 1981-2010 and six degrees warmer in countries in a particularly climate-sensitive range from Norway to Russia. According to the researchers the main reason for the greenhouse effect is due to the use of fossil fuels in human activities and the data monitored tend show this with the last five years all of record heat and even considering the last ten in the period 2010 - 2019. It should be noted that overheating levels affecting averages can affect individual areas or locations such as in the village of Sunndalsora in the west of Norway, which recorded nineteen degrees on two January (twenty-five more than average) and in the Swedish city of Orebro the heat record was on nine January.

The Australian summer of 2019-2020 with the new heat records achieved would seem to be the warmest ever monitored with temperatures of more than forty-two Celsius degrees in the capital Canberra and almost forty-seven degrees in the city of Richmond in the New South Wales. Needless to say that the great heat and dry wind could aggravate the situation regarding the fires that have been ravaging the vegetation of the country for months, but generally according to weather forecasts after a heat wave follow clouds that could help the firefighters to extinguish the flames (as well as causing flooding and damage in other areas). Thirty-three people have been killed since September as a result of the fires that have been driven by climate change, so many are calling for urgent action from the authorities. It should be noted shifting the attention to Italy that the winter temperatures are unusually mild and in Piedmont in the morning there are ten degrees more.

Pesticides, monocultures and fires insects enemies

Without immediate action for the conservation of insects they are at risk of extinction, at least according to the opinion of researchers who continue to report a sharp decline due mainly to pesticides, monocultures and fires; in the latter case for example the vast devastating fires that have devoured vegetation in Australia threaten biodiversity at the bases. This decline does not spare the monitored nature reserves that are often surrounded by fields cultivated with monocultures and the use of pesticides, considering that without insects then often you do not even have the pollination of plants. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Chile the production of lithium for the production of batteries is expected to increase significantly in the coming years and the indigenous population complains about the exploitation of the territory with impoverishment of the ecosystem.

Torrential rainfall in Minas Gerais in Brazil

Floods and subsequent landslides caused by torrential rainfall, the most intense in a hundred and ten years since weather events began to be monitored, would have claimed more than forty lives in Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil and damaged or destroyed thousands of houses often quite fragile; then there is talk of at least twelve wounded, twenty-five missing and seventeen thousand people forced to leave their homes. Aerial images show the extent of the devastation in many cities including the Belo Horizonte area without considering that there is still a risk of further flooding. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in large areas in the east of Africa billions of locusts are devouring the vegetation as a result of continuous climatic variations; moreover, clouds have recently caused considerable disruption in Zambia.

Indonesia grappling with frequent storms

While there are still difficulties in Indonesia for the population affected by storms and consequent flooding at the beginning of the year especially in the areas of Banten, Jakarta and East Nusa Tenggara, heavy rainfall may have favored the failure of a bridge suspended in the village of Bungin Tambun (which perhaps was also overloaded with people). Nine victims of the collapse from the Kaur area; then are still searching for the missing in the flooded river, seventeen people rescued, while the authorities are assessing the damage for the wave of bad weather. Indonesia is a country that emits large amounts of greenhouse gases responsible for climate change with a heavy dependence on the fossil fuels that fuel this phenomenon, but the new trend after the latest disasters would seem to be to focus on renewable sources with an ambitious plan.

Australian climate protests over fires

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of some Australian cities to protest against the lack of attention of the authorities on the climate issue and also because of the fires that have been devouring the country's vegetation for months with a situation outside control, twenty-seven victims and serious damage to the biodiversity; but it is a historically inattentive country with an individual climate footprint among the highest in the world (little attention and public outcry also regarding the role played by Australia, along with other countries, to scupper the Madrid climate change agreements). Fire crews from the United States and Canada came to the aid to try to tackle the flames that are advancing in the dry vegetation favored by brush ready to make fast fuel to the fires, then huge the amount of carbon dioxide and particulates released into the atmosphere.

Drought and wind reason for Australia wildfires

In Australia monitored data showed that last year was the driest spring since this type of measurement began one hundred and twenty years ago; then there have also been days with really high temperatures and strong winds, so conditions suitable to spread fires that add up to the little or no prevention carried out by the Australian authorities (some say that firefighting aircraft are delayed interventions, in practice when the situation was already out of control). Controversy also over the decision to blame the children who would give rise to the first outbreaks and to suppress thousands between dromedaries and camels responsible for drinking too much water. In the meantime the damage is being done with hundreds of production companies destroyed with inevitable economic repercussions, while the fires continue to advance with dry vegetation ready to fuel the fires.

Biodiversity threatened by wildfires in Australia

Fires in Australia continue to grow with almost five million hectares gone up in smoke since the first fire began, twenty-four victims, over two thousand homes destroyed; then there is talk of tourists fleeing terrified and traumatized after taking refuge on the beaches surrounded by fire waiting for rescue. Some for example compare figuratively the loss of biodiversity caused by fires in some parts of the country and especially in Kangaroo Island as damage to the Galapagos, due to the unique natural characteristics of both flora and fauna (with questions about the fate of a small species of marsupials), without considering that with climate change taking place on the planet this environmental reserve is unlikely to be safeguarded. Summer is long in Australia and forecasters are already announcing more heat waves coming while authorities search for staff to tackle the fires.

Southeast coast wildfires evacuations in Australia

Following the decision by the Australian authorities to evacuate tourists from areas on the south-east coast, especially from parks in New South Wales and the state of Victoria, long queues on roads have formed in the country as a result of the fires that have been ravaging the country for months, with blocked traffic and disruption; while the fire situation continues to worsen also due to the high summer temperatures above forty degrees Celsius probably destined to persist, with the fire advancing rapidly in the vegetation (destroyed more than four million hectares). Eight victims confirmed this week and dozens missing, without considering the incalculable damage to biodiversity; then in the affected areas smoking makes breathing difficult and everything is immersed in a kind of orange hood, with the call of international organizations to take steps to combat climate warming.

Polluting and dangerous fireworks

Petitions are growing in various countries around the globe to ban the use of fireworks to celebrate the New Year; in fact, they are very polluting (some figuratively say five tons of thin particulate matter equivalent to about sixteen percent of the emissions from annual car traffic), then there are many accidents at times even with serious damage to health without considering the risks to children who sometimes collect unexploded fires, the market of illegal ones with firecrackers comparable to real explosive devices the disturbance to pets and the danger of fires that results from improper use. As regard for the pyrotechnic shows organized by the public administrations it is possible to replace them with games of LED lights, bright drones and other attractions of new technology not polluting and harmless. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining naturalistic issues new fronts of fire in Australia for example in Melbourne.

Earthquake in Iran near nuclear plant

A 5.1-magnitude quake with an epicenter near the city of Borazjan and less than fifty kilometres from a one thousand megawatts nuclear plant would have hit Iran, although no damage has been reported to the country's only nuclear power station at the moment, however authorities warn that there may be roads blocked in some mountainous areas due to the intensity of the earthquake. The Islamic republic appears to be intent on building twenty nuclear power plants despite the country being located on a major tectonic plate with frequent seismic activity to decrease energy dependence on oil and gas thus causing the reaction of the United States accusing the country of trying to set up atomic bombs, but the authorities deny any belligerent intentions. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the death toll from the typhoon has increased to twenty-eight in the Philippines with twelve missing.

Bad weather in Europe, tropical storm in Philippines

A wave of bad weather characterized by blizzards, torrential rainfall and storm surges on the coasts has crossed In recent days Europe, particularly affected with seven victims Spain, then there were two victims in Portugal and damage in France. Storms called Elsa and Fabien have flooded rivers, caused power outages, uprooted trees as well as making difficult connections and transport . Meanwhile in Italy many complain about the loss of agricultural crops, for example in Campania and also the Sicily has also been lashed by bad weather. As regard the Philippines thousands of people were evacuated due to the arrival of a strong tropical storm just as they were gearing up for Christmas celebrations, some who objected are being forced to leave the homes especially in coastal areas.

Little prevention in Australia against fires

Due to the uncontrolled fires in New South Wales some have said that the authorities have done little prevention and the situation is serious with a devastation of vegetation that will only get worse given the high temperatures monitored with peaks of forty-seven Celsius degrees and the prolonged drought, particularly affected the city of Bargo; then the smoke laden with thin particulate matter continues to arrive in the metropolis of Sydney making living conditions really difficult. In the meantime the death toll would rise to ten, three million hectares of vegetation gone up in smoke, eight hundred houses destroyed with volunteers hard tried in the fight against the flames (two lost their lives) not only to try to save the property but also those of others. It should be noted by shifting the attention to other scenarios the wave of bad weather in Italy with a victim in Friuli, one in Tuscany and damage for example in Liguria.

Dangerous air for health in Sydney

Being eleven times over the safe limit the air of Australia's populous metropolis Sydney due to particulate matter from bushfires in New South Wales has been considered by a group of researchers to be dangerous to health, seen the large number of people also went to the hospital; therefore public emergency with the request to administrators to promote measures to address health issues and the climate crisis. Climate change tends to amplify the effects of extreme events including heat waves and droughts that favor devastating fires that have devoured at least two million and seven hundred thousand hectares of vegetation, then the monitored temperatures have exceeded forty Celsius degrees in the city of Perth and continue to remain very high. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the recent wave of bad weather in the southwest of France has caused three victims and one in Italy.

Rapid climate change in the Arctic

Arctic regions are warming at twice the rate of other parts of the world with increasingly evident climate and biodiversity changes, so that populations face a kind of fairly radical cultural transformation and change in life, for example with regard to a main source of livelihood such as fishing; in fact, the fish species present at sea have changed and the productivity of the catch has greatly decreased, affecting a supply chain that has developed with the prospect that nothing would have substantially changed. Overheating forecasts are likely to be worse than the scenario predicted by experts with more negative trajectories, with Greenland's record melting at seven times faster than it was thirty years ago. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the wave of bad weather in Italy with tornadoes, injuries and damage.

Emission reduction proposals in Europe

The European authorities would aim to put themselves at the forefront of the world by reducing emissions by 2030 and reaching neutrality in 2050 with regard to the balance with the environment of the emissions produced; but some argue that similar statements have been made in the past for example by the Germany authorities without the actual targets being met, indeed emissions have increased because coal dependence is still too high although many renewable energy plants have been built, then cars in circulation have increased even if they pollute a little less. It should be noted that the death toll in New Zealand would have increased to eight due to the eruption of the White Island volcano and some of the injured are in serious condition, while telluric tremors have hampered the search for the missing.

Deteriorated nature reserves in Yemen

The negative effects on the nature of the military conflicts that have been affecting Yemen for years (with the population often struggling to feed) are increasingly evident and in particular for the Huswah nature reserve, near the port city of Aden in the south of the country, whereas it was once a resting place for about one hundred and fifty species of migratory birds the number of species monitored would have dropped to fifty; then families who tried to relax a little in the park among the plants and protected animals can not even access it easily. The nature reserve has deteriorated and at risk of abandonment with a sharp drop in visitors also due to negligence in the maintenance of the reserve in recent months that make it less attractive to the tourists, therefore with loss of economic revenue. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that an investigation has been opened on who had authorized the visit to the White Island volcano in New Zealand of two groups of tourists affected by the recent eruption.

Six months in a row from record global average heat

It is probably mainly because of Europe that with more than one Celsius degree on average in November has reached the peak of record heat to this month (equaling the values of 2015 and 2016); in fact, in the eastern United States, Canada and parts of Central Asia temperatures would have been colder on average. Basically it's six months in a row that the global average temperatures monitored have reached all-time highs, so 2019 is set to be the hottest year on average on record, then it also has the record of being the hottest without the influence of the so-called "El Nino" global current, which generally tends to raise a little the average temperatures in some parts of the globe. Among the consequences of a warmer climate, for example, researchers would also have identified a greater number of premature births, a condition of fragility of children that can have repercussions in adult life possibly linked to the action of the hormone oxytocin in the mother's womb.

Analysis of extreme weather events

The extreme phenomena affect rich and poor countries in the same way and an analysis (presented at COP25 in Madrid) of the data for 2018 which also takes into account the damage would be at the top of the ranking of those who have been most affected the Japan, due to a triple wave of scorching heat as well as torrential rains and one of the most powerful typhoons in twenty-five years; then in second place the Philippines struggling with typhoons and crop damage due to climatic variability, in third Germany due to a very hot period between April and July that would have caused over one thousand and two hundred victims and a marked drought in large areas , but rich countries generally manage enough to withstand economic damage from climate change while poor countries have to go further into debt. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in the Philippines the death toll of "Kammuri" typhoon would rise to seventeen, then there are many evacuations.

COP25 climate conference in Spain

The COP25 climate change debate conference to be held in Chile due to violent demonstrations has been moved to Spain and from the first statements of the delegates it seems clear that it is not possible to continue polluting the planet with one unsustainable economic development and how a tipping point is needed to avoid catastrophic effects that are already visible, but some also given the poor results of previous conferences point out what the overall impact on the environment is of emissions from the air flights taken by these delegates and their collaborators from all countries of the globe. Adapting to irreversible climate change is probably the only solution by providing extreme solutions with high economic costs. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in the Philippines a strong typhoon is causing inconvenience to the population, with damage and evacuations.

Carbon tax on emissions from multiple in Canada

To meet the emissions reduction targets by 2030, the thirty percent from 2005 levels, Canada would appear to be aiming to quadruple in ten years the so-called carbon tax, which was introduced this year in four of the ten provinces of the country. This tax is a rare example of such initiatives in the world (in practice it is a type of incremental tax for every tonne of CO2 emitted), then will try to achieve the goal even with a combination of regulations and subsidies targeted for this purpose; but some argue that these measures will not be enough. It is worth noting that the subject of the Congo has recently affected the capital Kinshasa of the Democratic Republic of Congo, causing more than forty victims, speaks of more than three hundred houses flooded and some of them destroyed.

Strong earthquake in Albania

At least twenty-one people were killed and six hundred injured in a 6.5-magnitude quake with an epicenter near Durres about ten kilometres deep and a prolonged earthquake swarm with strong replicas (the earthquake was also felt in Puglia and Basilicata in Italy). Some buildings have collapsed and others have been seriously injured, for example, in Durres and Thumane and the population has poured into the streets in panic, while now digging through the rubble, with bare hands and also with heavy vehicles, to search for the missing among buildings that do not appear to have been built according to seismic criteria and it is feared that the death toll may rise. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the death toll from recent landslides caused by torrential rainfall in northwest Kenya's in the West Pokot county has increased to forty-three.

Floods in the French Riviera and Liguria

As a result of torrential rainfall torrents of water have poured into large areas of the French Riviera with flooding and consequent difficulties in transport and connections, particularly affected the center of Biot while in others sirens sounded to warn the population of the red alert or the roads were completely impassable; then there are reports of two missing and at least two injured with many fire crews trying to deal with the situation. As for Liguria it seems that also due to the hydrogeological failure some rivers (for example in Valpolcevera) have flooded with water and mud in houses and activities, with subsequent complaints of the inhabitants forced to evacuate; moreover, the wave of bad weather extends to many Italian regions. It should be noted that Kenya continues to be affected by the intense rains with landslides that have overwhelmed dozens of people.

Tropical species of African plants at risk

In the lists compiled to protect nature those relating to mammals and birds are quite complete while apparently those of tropical species are full of gaps, but one survey would still have monitored that a third of the plant species present in tropical Africa are potentially at risk of extinction (thirty-two percent or almost seven thousand); at least according to a computer analysis of more than twenty-two thousand plant species carried out by French researchers, which would require further efforts for a more precise assessment of species. The regions considered most at risk are Ethiopia, central Tanzania, the southern Democratic Republic of Congo and the forests of West Africa. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the large number of trees uprooted in Italy by the various waves of bad weather or that have been cut due to problems linked to stability issue.

Increased deforestation in the Amazon

Aerial views would have shown that the rate of deforestation in the Amazon is increasing significantly, almost thirty percent higher than last year and the highest since 2008. Among the main causes of cutting trees to make way for livestock farms, it seems is the high price in Brazil of meat that drives farmers to increase production, then the current administration of the country does not oppose the illegal activities of timber trade. Some say that all the forests of Brazil are threatened by the practice of deforestation and not only the Amazon, that is considered more important for the role played by the planet's lung by absorbing large amounts of CO2 and turning it into oxygen. It should be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Italy a new wave of bad weather characterized by storms, surges and strong vortex has caused further damage and remains the warning for many regions.

Heavy snowfall in parts of France and Italy

The fall of branches of trees due to heavy snowfall is the main cause of inconvenience for the population of four districts of the French Alps with three hundred thousand people left without electricity supply, then there is also talk of a victim and one injured. Authorities advise not to travel and there has been also disruption to rail and road communications. As regards Italy four valleys in South Tyrol would be isolated, the Brenner railway is interrupted and Brunico is without power; but the focus more than on snowfall is still focused on the recent wave of bad weather for example for damage in Liguria due to landslides and flooding and especially for the high water in Venice with historical record number of peaks reached in a week. In practice many places in the old town have been wet for a long time in the corrosive salt water of the sea that has crept between cracks of fine marbles and decorations.

Exceptional high water in Venice

It almost reached the historical record of 1966 the level of the so-called "acqua grande" in Venice and widely exceeded the forecast also because of the strong wind with gusts at one hundred kilometers per hour that pushed the waves towards the historic center. There is talk of two victims (in Pellestrina), then the gondolas were dragged out of the canals, damage to the basilica of St. Mark flooded, tourists in distress who sought a refuge while the authorities made the request for the state of natural disaster. Mobile bulkheads to prevent tidal waves in Venice still do not work due to design and laying errors in operation despite the very high costs of the work. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the situation in the New South Wales bushfires has worsened in Australia, with hundreds of new outbreaks and flames heading dangerously towards the suburbs of Sydney.

A storm lashes Bengal

At least ten people would be killed as a result of the storm called "Bulbul", then there are more than two thousand four hundred houses destroyed and twenty-six thousand partially damaged in the coastal area in the Bay of Bengal by the force of the cyclonic vortex that has also uprooted hundreds of trees and disrupted many power lines; the towns of Bakkhali and Namkhana were particularly affected and therefore fishing activities. Authorities have set up camps for the many people evacuated, while forecasters say the weakened storm to severe depression but still accompanied by strong gusts of wind is moving possibly toward Bangladesh. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Italy a new wave of bad weather, this time of African origin is about to hit the peninsula, already reported to the south cases of hailstorms with damage to crops as well as inconveniences to the population.

It is worth noting changing subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that is growing the debate about how insufficient the emission reductions established with the 2015 Paris Agreement to avoid global warming and how much is being approaching the point of no return; in fact, the goal of staying within one and a half Celsius degrees of rising temperatures has already been exceeded and that of the two degrees is now difficult to achieve.

The health situation in the capital Delhi is also worrying because of the unbreathable air for pollution with citizens also complaining of burning eyes, probably due to nitric oxide, nitrogen sulphur dioxide from work to construction and polluting emissions (defined as bizarre the news of toxic gases released by Pakistan and China). It should be noted changing the argument that the United States, as already announced and widely demonstrated with questionable environmental decisions, in a year's time will come out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on reducing polluting emissions, while France and China have decided to sign a pact of irreversibleity.

As for France, the storm called "Amelie" lashed the coasts to the west of the country with strong winds and storm surges, there are thousands of homes left without electricity supply, some evacuations as well as inconveniences (especially for the ethnic minority of the Basques). It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in India the capital New Delhi is immersed in a thick fog from pollution partly due to the fine dust that comes from vegetation fires in the areas near the metropolis with really low air quality.

Studying extreme phenomena such stormquakes

Shaking of the seabed due to hurricanes can cause low-intensity earthquakes that instruments record as noise, but they can also reach a magnitude of 3.5 and last for days, so researchers to describe this type of combination of extreme phenomena (which may give some concern) speak of stormquakes. In practice storms favour the formation of high waves that can cause secondary waves that interact with the seabed, but only in the case of large spaces and flat continental shelf. More than fourteen thousand of such phenomena would be monitored between September 2006 and February 2015 in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coasts of Florida, New England, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador and British Columbia.

A community located near the town of Kidapawan (where the earthquake caused panic) at the foot of a mountain was forced to evacuate due to more than two hundred aftershocks. It is worth noting that the death toll has risen to seventy-four due to a typhoon that has recently lashed Japan with dozens of missing people and considerable difficulty in dealing with the situation.

Dismay in Japan after typhoon passes

Damage is counted in Japan after the passage of typhoon "Hagibis" which claimed thirty-five lives, over a hundred and sixty wounded and seventeen missing; while the authorities warn that the situation regarding flooding in some areas could worsen in the coming days due to the further influx of water from the embankments of damaged rivers. There is talk of a good organization to deal with the extreme climate event, but there has been also controversy such as due to the lack of information in multiple languages for tourists who often did not know where to go in case of evacuation. The storm sank a cargo in Tokyo Bay such was the violence of the vortex, then some dam operators were allowed to release water to prevent it from being damaged with inevitable further flooding.

Wildfires in California and snowstorms in Canada

Wind gusts have fueled small wildfires in California's San Fernando Valley turning them into massive firefronts in the metropolitan area on the border north of Los Angeles; is talk about two victims due to related causes, a hundred thousand displaced and dozens of homes destroyed. Many fire crews are trying to tackle the flames but the situation is not yet under control due to the rather dry vegetation and the humidity rate that has collapsed below three percent also due to strong winds and fires. As regard the Canada a snowstorm covered Manitoba with a thick mantle, dropping many branches and trees on power lines; in fact, the weight of the snow was greater since the plants had not yet lost the leaves. Tens of thousands of homes are without power and some roads and highways are unusable.

Melting glaciers in the west of the United States

All of the approximately five thousand glaciers in the west of the United States will fully merge until they disappear in a calculated time of fifty or sixty years; moreover, according to experts satellite and aerial photos show how the glaciers in Olympic National Park in Washington state are all shrinking and in particular the Lillian Glacier from a 2010 photo is almost completely dissolved, considering that in 1905 it was in the expansive phase. Glacier water is likely to raise sea levels by encouraging flooding in coastal communities and this is considered the greatest impact of environmental change. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that lately the sea level is rising at an ever higher rate, then there would be problems even with the rise in temperatures such as for example in the case of the cultivation of molluscs in France.

A device to remove plastic from the sea

After the first attempts made in September last year that had highlighted technical defects that did not allow an effective removal of plastic from the sea now for the first time the system consists of a kind of long floating barrier six hundred meters that collects plastic, a bit like a fishing net but allowing the fish not to get trapped, would seem to work as it is dragged through to the islands consisting of plastic residues that have formed in the Pacific Ocean, at least from what the Dutch inventor of the device has said and he also founded a not-for-profit company. This gigantic cluster of floating plastic appears to be twice the size of Texas and is halfway between California and Hawaii. Keep in mind that previous studies have specified that it is possible to collect only the largest plastic residues, so the microplastic ends up in the food chain.

Drought in Somalia and Namibia

Somalia has been suffering from drought for years and 2016 is remembered as the worst year in this respect, so much so that crops are still struggling to recover, then farmers complain that not enough vegetation is growing and the animals suffer from malnutrition and get sick. Pastoral communities say they are concerned about the future of their livestock and experts point the finger at climate change since the expected rainy season has brought little rainfall (and in neighbouring Ethiopia the situation is not much better). Among other difficulties for the population it is argued that water resources from groundwater are reduced and water quality is poor, sometimes resulting in stomach pains for those who drink it. With regard to Namibia, the country has been hit at the same time by floods and droughts making it difficult to manage the territory and therefore food difficulties due to the unpredictable weather environment for climate change.

Investigations into chemical French plant in Rouen

Following a large fire recently at a large chemical plant near Rouen in northern France, the authorities decided to ban wheat crops and the sale of animal products from the region; in fact, the soot that has been released from the burning tanks has reached agricultural land in about one hundred districts. It is unclear the cause of the fire that is being investigated while a video appears to show that the fire came from outside the plant that produces industrial lubricants and fuel additives (apparently American-owned), then there would also be fear that pollution may have partly affected the country's largest river, the Seine, which also flows through Paris. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that the lower part of the Planpincieaux glacier on Mont Blanc shows fractures and is sliding downstream.

Many endangered European trees

Fifty-eight percent of Europe's two hundred and sixty-five native species would be at high risk of extinction, such as horse chestnut and ash, with the probability of extinction always high for species growing in other parts of the globe as well. Tree leaves are often attacked by insects defined as invasive and problematic that devour them by putting plants under pressure, then moths dig timber and weaken logs considering that trees are essential for life on earth, a source of food and shelter for birds and squirrels as well as playing an important economic role. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in the Netherlands the characteristics coastal dunes typical of the landscape of this country and healthy indices of biodiversity are decreasing or even disappearing; in fact, the dynamic cycles that form them and the delicate ecosystem that characterizes them are upset.

Strong earthquake in Pakistan

At least twenty-two people were killed and more than seven hundred injured by a strong 5.8-magnitude earthquake with an epicenter about ten kilometres deep (so with stronger tremors than a surface quake) that struck northeastern Pakistan, then there is talk of houses, activities, roads very damaged in particular at the town of Mirpur which is located in the Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir where a state of emergency has been declared. Authorities have set up tent camps to house displaced people as well as providing basic necessities and care for the injured who were initially admitted to uncollapsed homes in Mirpur. It should be reported by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that international airlines are discussing a plan to reduce emissions considering that a single retirn flight between London and New York can pollute how to heat a home for a year.

Multiplying efforts to reduce emissions

Reaching the current emission reduction targets that the various states have set to combat global warming will still increase global temperatures by about three Celsius degrees, at least according to organizations that say they triple or quintuple efforts on a problem that will still be difficult to solve since the predictions for the future are worse than expected. Concrete measures are needed with the need to act now to avoid a dramatic deterioration in environmental conditions as the period from 2015 to 2018 was the warmest on record since these measurements were taken and 2019 was on the same ascending line in a chart showing always record temperature. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Albania a strong enough earthquake followed by a replica near Durres would have caused dozens of injuries.

Increasing and uncontrolled pollution in Turkey

Studies are increasing showing the negative impact on the health of the population caused by the rapid urbanisation process and poor controls on pollutants, with complaints about the authorities that attempts to obstruct the work of researchers and to publish the various environmental data that would highlight how much the quality and expectation of lives has worsened, especially in some areas due to industrialisation. For example in the city of Dilosavy in the north-west of the country is are talking about a territory once rich in fields with vineyards, orchards, crops and beehives now replaced with chemical plants, metal and petroleum products, with large tanks and tanks instead of trees; then on the coast were built so many industrial ports. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on environmental issues that the forecasts of global climate warming assume in the future a possible increase of seven Celsius degrees.

Clouds and flooding in south-east Spain

Five people were killed in south-east Spain due to storms and subsequent floods that also forced three thousand and five hundred evacuations, then people were stranded in cars partly submerged by rescuers, chaos in the transport and inconvenience for the population. For example in the city of Redovan in the Valencia region water reached its knees forcing the inhabitants to use buckets in flooded houses, the airports of Almeria and Murcia remained partially unusable or closed; moreover, the situation remains serious with calls from the authorities not to travel to the affected areas and stay at home, then many schools are temporarily closed. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a tropical storm is about to reach the Bahamas already devastated by a powerful hurricane and where many people still struggle to find a refuge.

Search for missing in Bahamas

Authorities in the Bahamas say that two thousand five hundred people are still missing after "Dorian" hurricane devastated and submerged these islands, while searching through the rubble of destroyed houses; then there is the controversy over how the emergency was handled with workers from Haiti who have complained that the inhabitants of the Bahamas have been favored in the post-devastation evacuation plan, prepared with the reopening of the ports that have become unfit. In the meantime the situation is very difficult with the risks of epidemics and a bad smell coming from the rubble, then many struggle to find shelters to go to and many basic necessities are missing. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on environmental issues that in the southwest of Armenia near Jermuk the protesters would have managed to stop the exploitation operations of the bucolic mountainous territory caused by a gold mine.

Unimaginable balance in the Bahamas

Authorities in the Bahamas, after updating the death toll to forty-three, said the death toll could rise to unimaginable levels; in fact there are thousands of missing and hardly anyone can have saved themselves because the islands are above the level of the sea of a few meters and in practice during the passage of the "Dorian" hurricane were completely submerged up to the upper floors of the dwellings, then the force of the wind was such that one could not resist its destructive action on all that it found in its trajectory. Meanwhile on the East coast of the United States the situation has improved with the vortex downgraded to a tropical storm although potentially still dangerous, then there is no shortage of inconvenience and damage for example in the historic city of Charleston in South Carolina. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that for the first time the pathogen of Xylella fastidiosa would be identified in some olive trees in France.

Hours and days of fear in the Bahamas

The testimonies of the people of the Bahamas describe feelings of horror and fear for hours and days during the slow passage (described as interminable) of the "Dorian" hurricane especially on the Abaco island where the vortex would leave a trail of destruction and devastation with dwellings that will have to be completely rebuilt. Twenty casualties for a still provisional budget while the hurricane that has weakened but still dangerous will perhaps head south and North Carolina; a state of emergency appears to have been declared in several areas of the U.S. East coast. It should be reported by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that pollution could cause various mental illnesses such as depression and bipolar disorder, at least from what would be the result of the data of millions of patients of the U.S. and Denmark even if further studies are needed to verify that there is indeed a link.

East Coast of The U.S. threatened by hurricane

The category five hurricane "Dorian" with winds of more than three hundred kilometers per hour is moving very slowly and it seems that it is still lashing heavily the Bahamas where it has already caused a lot of damage and a victim, then according to weather models it should heading to Florida (a hundred and fifty thousand mandatory evacuations) and especially South Carolina (a million evacuations in addition to school closures and some activities), then North Carolina gradually losing strength; but the possibility remains though less likely that the action of the vortex will focus on Florida and Georgia. The population is preparing for the extreme event of unusual intensity not without difficulty, for example due to the shortage of fuel still available, indispensable for slow evacuations and related long queues. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues floods in Kenya with victims and missing.

Great barrier reef further degraded

The Australian authorities in a report on the state of the Great Barrier Reef would have further downgraded estimates for the future regarding the conservation of this gigantic organism, after monitoring a further rise in sea temperatures, claiming that now is the time to act to reduce emissions and the impact of pollutants from agricultural uses. The Australian government is accused by environmentalists of increasing emissions, a trend that has been in practice to increase for years until mid-2019, as well as favouring mining and export industries. It should be noted that by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the "Dorian" hurricane heads towards Florida (limited the damage of the vortex in the Caribbean), and the weather forecast announces a possible further strengthening from category one to four and therefore with destructive impact on the territory.

Many evacuations in Japan for floods

Following the death of a man due to heavy rainfall in southwest Japan, the authorities decided to evacuate two hundred and forty thousand people in different areas of the northern Kyushu region due to the danger of floods and landslides, then almost a million people received a warning to be prepared for possible evacuation. There are difficulties in travel, closed roads, parked cars surrounded by mud, others almost completely submerged by water and there is also talk of a landslide favored by the wave of bad weather that is affecting the country. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a tropical storm is approaching Puerto Rico already making its effects on a territory very tried by previous extreme phenomena that have left a trail of destruction still visible.

Severe drought in Chile

The Authorities in Chile have declared an agricultural state of emergency for parts of the country, especially the central of the country, which have been hit by a prolonged drought that has been uninterrupted since 2010 and provided for an aid plan for farmers in the country in difficulties. Experts say climate change and agricultural over-exploitation are the main factors in this unprecedented drought that has forced many farmers to leave their lands and go out for business; then also in the capital Santiago and the neighboring region of Valparaiso feel the effects of the drought, the worst in sixty years. It is worth noting, changing the argument, that the salmon population is falling significantly in Alaska due to heat waves with one in July that caused an unprecedented fish death so from bewilderand and frighten the inhabitants of the area.

Agriculture to be modernized in the Amazon

Among the causes of the many fires that are burning large areas of the Amazon rainforest some indicate the habit of farmers to cut down trees and then after two or three months set fire to the whole area concerned to make room for cultivation, then it seems that the new federal government encourages this increasingly used absurd practice (almost seventy-three thousand fires monitored from January to August compared with almost forty thousand last year). To keep in mind that in modern agriculture, fire is generally no longer used to prepare the ground; in fact, fires impoverish it by destroying the microorganisms that make humus vital in the long term. Without following carefully planned regulatory plans there can not even be economic advantage because agriculture is a practice that requires continuous controls so that the land can give income for long periods of time, not to mention that the forest well managed is a significant economic resource.

More monsoon floods in India

At least twenty-eight people were killed (two of Nepalese origin) and twenty-two are missing due to flooding fuelled by unusual monsoon rains in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Uttarkhand; then there would also be alarm in the capital Delhi with the authorities warning the population to be prepared to reach higher places so as not to be overwhelmed by possible flooding. Concerns in particular the level of the Yamuna River that is already very high and with the prospect of further upside also for the release of large amounts of water from a dam near Harayana. It should be noted, changing the argument, that in Iceland four hundred glaciers are in danger of disappearing while for the Okjiokull glacier a bronze plaque has already been placed with a mournful ceremony that certifies its disappearance so that it can be a warning about the effects climate warming, also reporting the record level of CO2 concentration reached.

Fires in Greece and France

A large fire aided by gusts of wind and temperatures that reached forty Celsius degrees would have destroyed the forest on the island of Evia in Greece forcing the evacuation of four villages and also causing considerable damage to five hundred and fifty acres to the characteristic Mediterranean wildlife of Agrilitsa. About four hundred firefighters are trying to tackle the flames even with the help of firefighting aircraft from Italy and Spain, then there is talk of other outbreaks in the country some already under control. In France estimated nine hundred hectares of pine forest have gone up in smoke in the Aude, south-east of the country, while more than five hundred firefighters are at work. Other natural emergencies are to be reported, such as in Japan, where tropical storm "Krosa" is causing transport cancellations as well as evacuations and disruption, then in Myanmar where monsoon rains are causing landslides and casualties.

At least thirty people were killed, eighteen missing and more than a million people were forced to leave their homes due to the typhoon called "Lekima" which lashed with strong winds at over one hundred and eighty kilometres per hour and rain large areas in eastern China. Thousands of trees uprooted, then there were landslides, high waves on the coasts and inconvenience for the population forced to move between flooded roads and debris of all kinds (even pylons and overturned means of transport). Hundreds of air flights, train and ferry are cancelled as forecasters announce the vortex is moving towards Shanghai where a major amusement park has been closed for the first time since its inauguration in 2016. Before doing damage in China the typhoon had hit Taiwan causing nine injuries and temporary power outages in thousands of homes.

Cutting emissions and stopping deforestation

At a climate conference in Geneva after the various discussions, the urgent need to quickly cut polluting emissions, stop unsustainable crops and deforestation emerged; in fact, in order to be able to support from a food point of view an ever larger world population it is necessary to change the way in which the land is used and the way of life (also to avoid mass migrations and conflicts to share the remaining scarce resources). There is also talk of a set of negative factors that add up to an already critical picture, then the higher the temperatures higher will be the risk since already with an overheating less than one and a half Celsius degrees the planet results unstable. To report other natural emergencies such as the typhoon "Lekima" that is about to lash the east coasts of China, then strong earthquakes that have occurred in the Philippines and Turkey.

Remarkable the ecological damage and to the tourist economy considering that it is no longer some exceptional event, but according to some it could be the new normal that forces the beach operators to long clean-up of the beaches. Turtles can't find suitable places on beaches to lay eggs, dead seaweed sinks on the reef choking it, then even the boat engines start with difficulty.

At a meeting in Geneva on climate change, given the rapid deterioration of all the major data monitoring global warming and melting glaciers and permafrost, the first statements made during the conference that it needed to act immediately, that before the final decisions have even been taken scheduled for the 8th of August. The situation really seems disastrous, with a self-sustaining emissions cycle, and there is now little room for climate scepticism. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes of the extreme phenomena that happened in the north in Italy [is talk of two victims] with downpours and landslides especially in Lombardy, then strong gusts of wind and tornadoes that have opened roofs, roofs of large structures and uprooted trees instead in the south we talk high temperatures and fires in Sicily (recently Sardinia had also been affected by arson).

As regard for the Indonesia, satellite images reveal dozens of outbreaks that pose a potential danger to forests in the dry season (which peaks in this country between August and September); moreover, the authorities after the devastating fires that took place in 2015 and 2016 resulting in the decline in forest extension had already promoted a prevention project to intervene as soon as possible in these cases. Fires often occur in areas where oil palms are to be grown on an industrial scale.

Some aftershocks and subsequent seismic swarms were recorded in Indonesia including Bali that caused some damage to homes, public buildings including schools, the entrance of a hotel (Nusa Dua) and prompted the panicked population to escape through the streets; then recently there is talk of a strong earthquake near Sumbawa in West Nusa Tenggara that destroyed houses, a temple and caused other damage. As far as Bangladesh is concerned, there is talk of floods caused by heavy monsoon rainfall that for days has also affected large areas of Nepal and India. An overcrowded Rohingya tent and barracks camp in southeastern Bangladesh would be inundated with landslides, at least ten people killed and many people forced to flee the area hit by bad weather. Meanwhile in India the situation has worsened due to the incessant rains especially in Assam and Bihar with millions of evacuations.

Eight people were killed in Nepal due to heavy rainfall and resulting landslides in various parts of the country, then at least five hundred homes were damaged by landslides and the major motorways were blocked due to road accidents caused by floods. The hydrology and meteorology departments speak of increased monsoon activity and therefore heavy rains monitored on the capital Kathmandu and other areas; moreover, the forecast announces more rain in the coming days. As for Louisiana, the tropical storm called "Barry" is now classified as a hurricane considered dangerous especially for coastal areas where thousands of people have already been evacuated and the population of New Orleans (already heavily affected in past extreme phenomena) is preparing for the arrival of the strong vortex by placing sandbags at the base of doors and windows and removing everything can be dragged away by the wind.

Criticism against the authorities for doing little in previous months to alert the population to possible landslides that then caused more than two hundred victims have now prompted a mandatory evacuation order of more than one million people (and nine hundred and thirty thousand warnings to leave their homes) from southern Japan due to torrential rainfall on the main island of Kyushu. One victim is said to have been killed in Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, who were taken to reception centres, then forecasters announced heavy rains across the country including Tokyo. It should be noted shifting the attention to other scenarios that in America a fire in Kentucky would destroy forty-five thousand barrels of bourbon, then a large amount of processing alcohol liquid spilled to reach the river Kentucky flowing near the factory causing an environmental emergency.

Unexpected variations of Antarctica's ice

The floating blocks surrounding Antarctica would have increased between 1979 and 2014, reaching a record of almost thirteen million square kilometres, but just three years later it has risen to the opposite record, less than eleven, making register the smallest extension; at least according to satellite observations that surprised the researchers who would have said that the planet has the potential to make these unexpected changes whose motivations are not very clear. Perhaps the global warming that seemed to affect the Arctic in particular has also reached Antarctica or are climatic cycles (now it seems unlikely to be attributable to factors such as wind, pressure and global currents), bearing in mind that in winter the frozen mass grows and in summer tends to retreat and while the Arctic is a kind of island formed all by floating ice, Antarctica is land covered with ice with differences about their seasonal expansion on the territory.

Torrential rains and flooding in Siberia

Five people were killed in the Irkutsk region due to torrential rainfall that broke the banks of Lake Baikal and the Angara River, then there were three hundred and fifty injured, one hundred of whom were taken to hospital and ten thousand people affected by the floods. At least fifty villages near Lake Baikal are inaccessible and the great city of Bratsk has also been hit by extreme scares, an estimated four thousand buildings have been destroyed in addition to many bridges and roads. In the months leading up to a series of natural disasters hit the region, such as a long drought that led to fires that destroyed crops and buildings. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that continue the fires in Catalonia in Spain even if the firefighters would have managed to extinguish in the face of fire, but other outbreaks remain active in other regions.

Uncontrolled fire in Catalonia in Spain

A fire at Torre del Espanol in the north-east of Catalonia would have burned more than five thousand five hundred hectares of vegetation, the many fire crews who intervened even with the support of firefighting aircraft have not yet managed to keep under control the flames with a high risk that twenty thousand hectares of vegetation will eventually be devoured by fire. As for the cause of the fire there is talk of a accumulation of manure on a farm that generated enough heat to serve as an outbreak, then the strong wind and high temperatures close to forty Celsius degrees due to the wave of African matrix that is affecting the whole of Europe have helped to spread the flames. Fifty people were evacuated, some roads were closed, then two hundred and fifty residents in the village of Bovera were forced to stay indoors by the emergency services; Fears then for a nuclear power plant, but the wind pushes the flames in another direction.

A 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck Gongxian County in Sichuan injuring more than thirty people, none of whom were in serious condition, just days after the earthquake near Yibin (with thirteen fatalities, two hundred and twenty injured and eigthy thousand people evacuated) where seismic swarms and aftershocks were recorded. Indonesia reports floods and landslides in the south-east of Sulawesi province forcing many residents to flee their homes, then it is estimated that almost ten thousand people have been evacuated since the beginning of June flooding in the Konawe Utara district. It should be noted by shifting the attention to other scenarios other emergencies such as in Uruguay where recently torrential rainfall caused thousands of evacuations in particular from the city of Durazno and a few days ago in Brazil several victims for landslides in the city of Recife.

It was estimated to be of 6.7 magnitude (after an initial declaration of 6.8) the earthquake that shook the Yamagata prefecture in Japan yesterday causing about twenty injuries and various inconveniences, such as cancellations of high-speed train connections and almost ten thousand utilities that were affected by power outages in Yamagata and Niigata prefectures, then a tsunami warning was also issued which was resolved with a not high wave on the coast from which as a precaution had been evacuated many people. Rescue operations are ongoing while an alert remains for the population in the areas affected by the earthquake. It should be noted by completely changing the subject that in Rwanda the authorities of the African country have announced an initiative to promote greener, more efficient and clean cooling systems also to comply with the Montreal protocccal regarding gases that cause the ozone hole in the atmosphere.

Heat, drought and controversy in India

For many days a heat wave has been affecting large areas of India with temperatures reaching up to fifty Celsius degrees, with dozens of victims and inconveniences then to aggravate the situation there is talk of a prolonged drought, for example in Tamil Nadu where for months the population has been facing water scarcity the level of Chennai Porur Lake would have reached the lowest level, considering that it is the main water resource. Many try to pump water from the layer, but its purity is compromised by pollutants and the only solution to quench the thirst apparently remains to buy bottles in stores. Many businesses in the city of Chennai have suffered from water scarcity forced to drastically reduce opening hours, with various accusations and controversies against the administration unable to deal with the situation. To report moreover the abnormal high temperatures recorded in Canada in June with about twenty new records.

Strong cyclone towards India changes direction

The authorities for precaution had already proceeded to evacuate over five hundred villages on the shores of Gujarat because of the approaching of the strong cyclone called "Vaju", with peaks of wind even at one hundred and seventy kilometers per hour, whose effects already warned on the territory; then it seems to have changed direction to the open sea (after a series of route changes reported by the weather reports). However could always be useful in general the advice provided to the population to prepare for the impact of the vortex such as: stay calm by ignoring the noises, recharge the batteries of mobile phones and use the SMS to communicate for more time, stay informed with the information media about the weather situation, keep the documents so they can resist the action of the water, prepare an emergency kit in addition to a suitable place to repair and not leave around the house sharp objects and pointed.

Trees cut without controls in the Amazon

The satellites would have monitored as in May the rate of deforestation is the largest in a decade and the rainforest trees that make up the green lungs of the planet are cut without any control; in fact, the new Brazilian administration does not believe in climate change and has proved to be unfriendly to the environment by dismantling the agencies that had the task of carrying out controls on the protection of forests and indeed now those who seek to oppose this system of exploitation absurd without plans regulators (in practice without even economic advantages) feels threatened. The environmental alarm would have tripped because eighteenth-thirty-nine hectares were deforested in May, against the five hundred and fifty of May 2018 that are over twice the hectares deforested two years earlier. To note that planting trees and reducing fossil fuel consumption beyond the transition to renewable energies is probably the only way to cope with climate change since capturing CO2 would present more risks than benefits.

The wind direction and weather conditions concern the community of Pikangikum in Canada since a vast fire is devouring a forest in northwestern Ontario; in fact, the evacuations that are already in place will have to continue if the smoke pushed by the wind reaches the area causing coughing, irritation to the throat and also health risks. In the so-called fire season started in Canada on the first of April is talk about two hundred and thirty-five blazes and forty two fires still active almost sixty-five percent were caused by man, while many fire brigade teams try to facing a difficult situation since it is enough a change of direction and force of how the wind blows to frustrate in a short time the efforts made to extinguish the flames. In southern Alberta in recent days the population has received notices of staying indoors with the windows closed due to the persistent smoke hood.

Several fires would be devouring the vegetation of large rather dry areas of Alberta in Canada and in particular the front of fire "Chuckegg Creek" is considered the most dangerous having burned over hundred and seven thousand hectares also because of the wind that It feeds the flames. Many people evacuated and those who have received the warning to be ready for a rapid evacuation, then the columns of smoke that emanate from the flames at a distance from the wind make it difficult to breathe. The authorities that are facing fires with many fire brigade teams talk about a series of preventive measures to be taken in this country at high risk of outbreaks using for example herbivorous animals that keep the territory clean by eating the vegetation that can make the fires propagate. To be reported changing the subject that recently a strong earthquake in Peru of magnitude eight that hit a remote area of the jungle would cause a victim and six injured at Yurimaguas.

Hypothesis a meter or two of rising of the sea level

The forecasts that were made in 2013 regarding the level of the seas would be underestimated, not taking into account the real risks, and from the new surveys it is realized that by the end of the century the upside will be about one metre and in the worst scenario calculable It could reach a rise of even two meters (hypothesis around five percent with an overheating of five Celsius degrees) forcing the evacuation of more than one hundred and eighty million people; at least according to the opinion of researchers who experience profound consequences on humanity. The trajectory of rising seas values and greenhouse warming is difficult to trace, but new data on the thickness of the Antarctic and Greenland ice taken by satellite show an acceleration of the merger and therefore with a drastic future scenario about predictions. To be reported changing the topic that it seems that China continues to illegally use the CFC-11 that causes the hole in the ozone of the atmosphere.

Although climate change is now under everyone's eyes and research clearly shows how man is the main responsible there are many people in the world who insist on not believing that they are the human activities related to the exploitation of fossil fuels to uncontrollably increase the global warming. In the first place among the so-called negationists about the role of human activities there would be the Indonesians with eighteen percent (plus a six percent that doesn't see any change), then the Saudis with the sixteen, the Americans (U.S.) with the thirteen, South Africans eleven, Mexicans and Egyptians ten; at least from a study carried out on the public views of twenty-three countries. Awareness is the first step in order to produce a change and if there are still a lot of sceptical people there is no wonder that the emissions are still increasing.

New CO2 concentration record

The threshold of the four hundred and fifteen parts per million concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have been exceeded, from what is apparent from the data collected by the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii, a very worrying value that shows that despite the Paris climate agreements of 2015 emissions have not decreased and indeed seem to be rising from a two and a half ppm per year to three ppm with disastrous effects on the planet. Before the industrial revolution the value of carbon dioxide was around the three hundred ppm and to find values higher than today we must go to three million years ago when the temperatures were three or four Celsius degrees higher with Antarctica covered with forests and also the level of the oceans was several meters higher. The first consequences will be on the Great Barrier Reef which is already severely damaged so that there is an abnormal and polluted tourism with people who want to see this marvel before it is too late.

Uncontrolled deforestation is favouring the excessive sedimentation in three great lakes in Indonesia in East Kalimantan so that in the dry season cars and motorcycles can cross over the drained seabed. This phenomenon in addition to being caused by deforestation in the upper section of the Mahakam river would be favoured by the cultivation of large oil palm plantations practiced in twenty-six large areas around the lakes and when the rainy season arrives On the other side there can be flooding for the large flow of water. It is then tried to prevent the deterioration of the living conditions of rare aquatic species with population-oriented educational programs also avoiding that the fishermen use potassium cyanide in the fishery; moreover there would be ecological revitalization initiatives for other lakes of Sumatra, Bali and Gorontalo.

The German authorities have declared a national problem the drought of 2018 with consequences that extend to the new agricultural season, so a kind of drought alert was prepared to help farmers. The humidity of the soil also depends on the winter precipitations which because of climate change are increasingly scarce forcing to equip themselves with water systems of storage and channeling of waters, which have a high cost, while the agricultural products in a globalized market are always less valuable. As far as the north of Italy is expected a very difficult season since the canals are in the dry and the level of rivers and lakes is very low, then perhaps also because of the drought of the undergrowth of fires have devoured many hectares of vegetation in Piedmont and in the western Ligurian near Cogoleto.

A trail of devastation remained after the passage of the "Idai" tropical cyclone which struck Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe and is talks about an humanitarian crisis; moreover the death toll would be aggravated (one hundred and seventy-four people and hundreds of missing) due to torrential rainfall and successive floods that have brought down houses and bridges, interrupted communications and energy supplies. Among the most difficult situations for example, more than half a million people remain isolated in the port city of Beira in Mozambique, then hard hit by the storm the mountainous region of Chimanimani in Zimbabwe at three hundred and fifty kilometers southeast of the Harare capital. Rescue teams try to bring aid to about one and a half million people affected by the cyclone, comparable as destructive force to a category four hurricane.

Patch of hydrocarbons threatens the French coasts

Four French ships try to stem the two large patches of hydrocarbons that have leaked from an Italian cargo-ferry ship about three hundred kilometers west of the city La Rochelle and destined to reach the coasts of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine. There is talk of a fire on board during the route between Hamburg in Germany and Casablanca in Morocco that has also damaged many containers of which about forty have ended up at sea with their load of substances often polluting, then fell from the ship about two thousand vehicles and authorities say it is as if a major automobile accident occurred, but figuratively in the seabed and therefore with potential environmental threat to fish and plankton in a very rich area of biodiversity because of the hundreds of tons of chemical and toxic substances present by adding up all the vehicles.

Unbreathable and polluted air in South Korea

A persistent hood with high concentration of pollutants persists for days in large areas of South Korea so that the authorities speak of a kind of social disaster and have allocated funds to cope with the problem that often forces the population to walk around with masks since the air is almost unbreathable. Among the main causes responsible for the high emissions were the coal-fired power stations and the vehicles; in fact in this last case is try to promote the gas supply, then the classrooms of the schools will have to equip with an air purifier. Recently it has also been asked for help to China to provide the (questionable) technology that allows to ease the rain in the event of clouds coverage.

Survey in Canada on oil slick at sea

After noting the real size of the oil slick that stretches for kilometers off the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland due to a loss estimated in two hundred and fifty thousand liters (between oil, water and gas) from an extraction plant oil again in November the Canadian authorities would have been amazed by the accident data declared on the online oil company webpage that tend to minimize what is actually an environmental disaster among the most serious never happened. The patch of hydrocarbons extends for about twenty-one kilometers by eight in the sea to three hundred and fifty kilometers in a large area to the east of the St. John city, but the map of the place where the serious accident occurred probably caused by the defective joint of a pipeline apparently was not quite provided.

Adverse effects of marine heatwaves

As heat waves on earth destroy crops, damage forests and the animal population in the same way marine heatwaves can devastate the oceans the ecosystem with a wide-ranging effect on marine organisms. The oceans as a result of human emissions from the use of fossil fuels are becoming more and more hot with a higher frequency of marine heatwaves that alter the structure and functioning of the ecosystem with consequences and ramifications on society as well. For example seals and whales are changing their eating habits because of climate change that disrupting their habitat and some say the Arctic is the siren of alarm about the devastation of the ecosystem with many species that fail to adapt to too rapid variations.

Less stratocumulus if CO2 increases

Stratocumulus clouds cover about twenty percent of the subtropical oceans reflecting the sun's rays and thus avoiding excessive climatic overheating and abnormal heat waves; but according to the opinion of American researchers could dissolve if the concentration of carbon dioxide should continue to increase up to triple, compared to current values while maintaining unchanged the rate of growth of emissions. It is hypothesizes that in the future the temperature of the planet could increase even of eight Celsius degrees which would be added to the overheating caused by the human activities and consequent rapid melting of the polar caps with rise of the seas of many meters.

The death of millions of fish in the Darling River demonstrates the poor oxygenation of the water and the possibility of the presence of toxic algae; moreover the authorities argue that the regions of Queensland and New South Wales are exploiting too much of the river for agricultural purposes and the situation continues to worsen, then even if attempt to release water into the system by opening the dams will not would get a lot of results as they serve significant rainfall. Some environmental activists also denounce abusive water connection for intensive agriculture and large cotton farms.

The rapid melting of the ice has led to the discovery of rock formations never seen before and among these new volcanoes of which even one suspected existence, at least according to the statements of Canadian researchers on climate change in British Columbia, then as the ices withdraw could increase up to eight times the volcanic activity and decreasing the weight of the frozen mass on the earth's crust varies accordingly the type of movement of the magma through it. It should also be understood how the phenomenon leading to the growth and subsequent withdrawal of the icy mass can cause volcanic eruptions and in Canada it would be more evident than in other parts of the globe, so much so that in British Columbia can see active fumaroles as it happens for example on Mount Meager, but generally there would not be an immediate danger.

Global climate discouragement

In seven years greenhouse emissions have increased significantly; moreover it is estimated that in 2018 it will be passed to over thirty-seven tonnes of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere compared to more than thirty-six of the 2017. This discouring data for researchers puts at risk the achievement of the objectives set by the Paris climate protocol on cutting pollutant emissions, then every year of delay in action means making it much more difficult every effort to save the planet. In practice each passing year the emissions continue to increase and those of carbon dioxide would increase by fifty-five percent over the last twenty years, considering that the use of coal (the most polluting in absolute), cars and planes in the world has risen.

The effort should be global since with only one degree Celsius of rise in average temperatures the climate of the planet has become unstable, but the United States despite being historically the most responsible for emissions do not want to do anything to reduce them and Brazil would seem oriented on the same road hostile to the environment taken by the American administration.

Difficult to reduce polluting emissions

After the communiqué made by international agencies of the need to reduce pollutant emissions to avoid catastrophic effects on the planet, also given the tendency to a continuous worsening of the situation, it is clear that this objective is very difficult to achieve if, for example, officials who should protect the environment have been accused of making too many air journeys instead of choosing the train for their journeys; in fact the planes in addition to having high emissions of carbon dioxide (about four hundred and forty eight kilograms against the fourteen of the train to travel one thousand kilometers) favour the formation in the sky of aggregate clouds of pollutants with potential greenhouse effect. Some say that people should be informed about how individual behaviors can affect climate change; so to give priority to the less polluting transport vehicles, then it would be necessary to find solutions to try to improve transport efficiency even with a more prudent planning.

Rising CO2 emissions

After three years of global carbon dioxide emissions substantially stable in 2017 they have increased by tapping a new maximum level and it is expected that there will be an increase also in 2018. Needless to say this is a very bad news because it makes it more difficult to maintain global temperatures within a degree and a half Celsius increase whereas with about a degree of increase the planet has seen a continuous crescendo of extreme events. There is a need for drastic cuts in emissions over the next two years because the consequences are already tangible and not destined for a hypothetical future scenario. To report changing the subject but staying on naturalistic issues that there would be over a thousand missing for cause of the Michael hurricane in Florida so the death toll is going to increase considerably, then the images provided by the media show large areas entirely covered with debris.

Rising seas intensifies tsunamis

Many coastal areas on the planet that are now not classified as tsunami risk in the future because of the rise in the sea level could become vulnerable and be flooded; moreover, according to the researchers, a modest rise also amplifies the power of the waves after their impact on the coasts then we must also take into account the destructive effects and erosion of tidal waves. For example figuratively about the proportions the city of Macau in China is now considered quite safe as require a tsunami with waves of two to three meters to be flooded will pass to waves from one meter and half to two with the rise of the seas, then high tidal waves could invest the coasts of France in the future so should build appropriate defense works along the coastal areas. The first cause of the rise of seas is the continuous production of carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels.

The gigantic sinkhole opened in Iran at the village of Kerdabab, of two thousand inhabitants, in the county of Kabudrahang west of the province of Hamadan would have terrified the local people and the experts who explain how this phenomenon demonstrates how the groundwater tables has been badly damaged. This sinkhole that has a dimension of about a square kilometer and sixty meters deep is located at one kilometer from the village and a little further away as distances from a solar energy plant, a thermal plant and a national highway; so even if this is not the first time this phenomenon occurred in previous cases, these were remote places, then the researchers explain that sedimentary strata can collapse for example because of the large consumption of water (also for agricultural uses) that modifies the PH of the sediments mainly composed of calcium and lime which tend to dissolve easily.

Domino effect for climate change

The continuous variations caused by climate change with a strong evaporation of the moisture from the ground and subsequent storms risk to unleash a type effect fall one after the other of the dominoes placed in line nulling the efforts to keep the global temperatures within two degrees of overheating; for example to cope with the damage to agriculture must resort to plants that require additional energy resources and to make livable environments affected by heat waves must equip them with air conditioners that absorb large amounts of energy ending up further feeding the greenhouse effect into an uninterrupted chain. To try to break this unhealthy mechanism for the environment we should adopt sustainable solutions for the environment and low energy impact stratagems as well as informing the population to a more aware use of the planet's resources.

Increase the plastic mountains to be recycled

The decision made by China at the beginning of the year to ban the entry into the country of most plastics to be recycled has induced other countries, less equipped with recycling facilities, such as Malaysia and Vietnam to take similar measures and therefore perhaps it would be the case that ships laden with plastic mountains would no longer sail from ports to countries less and less willing to accept them and recycle all where consumption takes place also to prevent the plastic from ending up at sea and continue to enter the food chain. It is estimated that by 2030 one hundred and eleven million plastic will not find a country that can recycle them, considering that already now there is a disastrous situation with vast islands of plastic floating on the seas and plastic waste scattered everywhere and therefore it is necessary to change the consumption modalities of the societies avoiding to use the plastics preferring ecological materials easy to recycle.

The governments of the most industrialized States of the so-called G-7 which comprise Great Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States often claim to have no resources to promote the transition to renewable energies as established by international treaties in 2016, but a study would have revealed the inefficiency in allocating resources in addition to the enormous amount still destined to subsidize fossil fuels, shielding the various economic operations in a very untransparent way, despite according to the agreements taken it would be necessary by 2025 to gradually step out of this subsidy system. In practice in terms of public resources the transition from fossil sources to renewable energies is either too slow or is not at all happening (the U.S. has abandoned the negotiating table). The worst transparency of subsidies would have resulted the Britain that imposing also taxes for North Sea explorations.

This protected heritage reserve and remarkable source of income for the tourist influx would have already lost in less than forty years about ninety percent of the elephants (note for example the voracious demand of the Chinese market for absurd pharmaceutical purposes and questionable jewellery) and this dam could have a devastating impact also because the animals take refuge especially in the dry season, then there are also many farmlands.

Survey about the chlorofluorocarbons

In spite of the production of chlorofluorocarbons from the chemical industries stated to be reduced to zero the measurements made now would have shown that the emissions are almost the same of twenty years ago, at least for a component called CFC11 damaging for the ozone layer of the atmosphere that protects against ultraviolet rays used to produce for example foams, degreasing stains and refrigeration gases. It is suspected by analyzing the data from different detection units that the origin of the emissions, increased progressively from 2013, is probably to be identified in areas from China, Mongolia and Korea perhaps as derivative of the production of other chemical components (but some say that bans are not respected). The nature removes two percent of CFC11 each year and concentrations will tend to decrease if there were no continuous emissions with consequent various negative effects.

Floods and hydrogeological damage in Colombia

Due to the malfunction for a landslide of a water evacuation tunnel, at a hydroelectric project plant, the waters of the Cauca river in Colombia are flooded destroying nineteen homes, a clinic, a school, a bridge and flooding a highway; then about six hundred people would be forced to leave their homes in the city of Valdivia in the north of the Department of Antioquia. The authorities proceeded to send humanitarian aid to the affected areas as well as to organize temporary shelters in the towns of Taraza, Briceno, Caceres, Nechi and Caucasia. To be noted changing completely scenery but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Italy a sudden rush of temperature with winter averages has caused damage to crops especially in Sardinia (recently affected also by torrential rain) where in addition to the cold wave, landslides have occurred.

Inconvenience for flooding in Canada

Due to intense rainfall over two thousand and seven hundred people mainly from the regional district of the Kootenay Boundary of British Columbia and other areas would have been forced to leave their homes; the authorities that have defined the floods between the worst in two hundred years indicate that the convergence of several factors is verified as the melting of a lot of snow that had accumulated in altitude, then the temperatures above the norm in addition to the rainfalls of torrential type. Evacuation orders could affect many other inhabitants while the images show flooded roads, full rivers and rescue teams in action. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the volcano Merapi in Indonesia has erupted with order of evacuation within a radius of five kilometers; moreover it is feared that the volcano Kilauea to Hawaii can explode for the contact between magma and water.

Role of lakes in greenhouse emissions

Although lakes constitute a minimum fraction of the water on the planet they can be a non-negligible source of methane emissions, a gas that causes a greenhouse effect twenty-five times higher than carbon dioxide, due to the climatic overheating which tends to feed itself also for the large quantity of plants and animals that populate them. For example, it is estimated that over seventy-seven percent of these emissions could result from the decomposition of organic matter of aquatic plants carried out by microbes in the seabed that then release methane bubbles that go back to the surface. The higher temperatures tend to promote the growth of aquatic plants and this means that in the lakes there will be more and more organic material to decompose forming in this way a vicious cycle that feeds itself to add to the others related to greenhouse gas emissions.

Floods in Kenya and earthquake in Hawaii

It would be at least six victims for cause of the floods in Kenya with thousands of people forced to abandon their homes and international organizations that describe the difficulties of the population also because of different waves of bad weather characterized by torrential rainfall that caused victims, destroyed crops and lost many livestock as well as damaging roads, superstructures and making difficult to use the resources of drinking water (with consequent health emergencies for any case of cholera). As regard for Hawaii the eruption of the Kilauea volcano has caused an earthquake quantifiable of magnitude 6.9, the strongest from 1975, with intense seismic swarm without that there been a tsunami warning or cause damage and casualties but by triggering an evacuation plan on the main island where the fires caused by the lava are burning the forests.

Kenya donkeys maybe at risk extinction

With the growing demand of the Chinese market of donkey skins from Kenya for the "Ejiao" elixir used as an ingredient for the preparation of medicines and other fabulous preparations of high cost (whose efficacy has not been verified as it happens for most of the products derived from animals in the Chinese medicine) the donkeys in the African country are threatened; in fact more than ten million are slaughtered every year also in other countries and all over the planet are only forty-four million. Once the demand for donkeys was satisfied by the same Chinese domestic market but the continual increase in demand caused this absurd search for animal skins especially in Africa to be sent to China with ships. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the wave of anomalous heat on vast Europe areas with temperatures of ten degrees above the averages of the period.

Gulf Stream further weakened

It has long been known that the flow of the Gulf Stream has been weakened and by using a new technique that also analyses marine sediments researchers would have verified how the so-called Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) has further weakened; but having a few previous direct observations is difficult to make long-term predictions then there would not be, at least for the moment, to worry about a possible new ice age. Possible weather changes include a shift in the tropical rainfall belt, worsening winter storms across the Atlantic into Europe and perhaps a faster rise in the sea level along the east coast of the United States because of the density changes in the ocean density. Needless to remember how much the Gulf Stream with its warmer flow is important to mitigate the climate by over four to six degrees Celsius in the northwest of Europe.

Philippine tourist Island closed for six months

Due to the heavy environmental damage caused by tourism to the island of Boracay, popular tourist spot for the beautiful white beaches and crystal clear waters, the authorities of the Philippines have decided that for six months from April twenty-six will not be possible to visit the island also because it does not become a typical symbol of non eco-friendly destination following the devastation due to the speculations connected to the uncontrolled development. The island that for about forty years attracts many visitors must face also organizational problems of overcrowding like that related to the management of the sewers and for support the local population of the island of about seventeen thousand inhabitants living mainly of tourism during the period of closure to preserve the environment have been earmarked appropriate funds, then to notice how the impact of tourism despite the economic benefits should be assessed responsibly.

Drop in biodiversity and drinking water

A very crowded planet of men with consequent increased demand for food, water, energy and land to be exploited involves a conspicuous drop in biodiversity and available drinking water, at least from a study carried out for three years by researchers gathered now in Colombia to discuss these arguments that have defined as dramatic the rate of decline in biodiversity (plants, animals and drinking water) for cause of human action and therefore of climate warming combined with other combined problems. All major ecosystems are threatened and the forecasts are rather pessimistic although much could be done by changing mentality and adopting for example a balanced diet. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a hundred and fifty whales have stranded in Australia in the Hamelin Bay, made defined by a tourist as incredible.

Environmentalists argue as some seek to conceal interest targeted at getting profits from the timber trade whereas preserving forest Bielowieza allows not only to keep alive the last vast population of bison present in Europe but also to be able to carry out its function as a natural green lung.

To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that among the causes taken into account that caused two days ago the crash of a plane on the ground near Moscow that caused seventy-one victims there could be the adverse atmospheric conditions and therefore perhaps the snowstorm in the phase of takeoff or the formation of ice on the wings.

High avalanches danger in the Alps

There is growing attention to changes in temperature after many avalanches have caused inconvenience and in some cases endangered the lives of many tourists as happened for example in the famous resort of Zermatt in Switzerland that is near the Matterhorn peak where about nine thousand tourists found themselves in difficulty with railway lines and blocked roads; then also in Italy there were many situations of danger as happened in Cervinia and Trentino with tourists evacuated and blocked roads (for a short period of time). Usually it happens that after heavy snowfall the snow mantle does not compact enough on the previous layers and form a slab that tends to slip downstream because of the temperature changes and wind that destabilizes the snow due to the weak cohesion of the crystals. In these cases a skier who cuts the snow mantle on strong slopes on the fresh snow can easily cause a rolling avalanche.

Planting forests to limit overheating

Given the high risk that global warming exceeds the degree and a half Celsius of rising average temperatures it would be necessary to begin to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by planting vast forests (trying to find a balance with the ground intended for crops), considering that even limiting the overheating will hardly be able to protect the coral reef that already suffers from the high temperatures of the ocean and to avoid the melting of the ices of Greenland and the West of Antarctica, but it would be useful to avoid droughts and floods, migrations of peoples and conflicts for the contention of scarce resources available because of climate change.

Slightly less warm the 2017 than the 2016

The global average temperatures monitored in 2017 were slightly lower than 2016, so this is the second year hotter than ever with 14.7 degrees Celsius on average and hotter than 1.2 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial era, but have to keep in mind as regards the annual progression of the average statistics that the temperatures of the 2016 were also raised by the global current El Nino which releases heat from the Pacific Ocean at cyclical intervals and without this additional supply of heat can evaluate the 2017 as the hottest year. In this period compared to global warming an Arctic cyclone is causing casualties and inconvenience in North America and according to the researchers this extreme phenomenon always influenced by climate change could be caused by the slowdown of current vortices that tend to restrain the Arctic cold on the polar icecap.

The wildfire season that devastated California would force over hundred firefighters to stay during the religious holidays to cope with the remaining outbreaks even though the "Thomas" fire front was largely circumscribed with teams of firefighters and fire fighters are available to intervene in case of necessity; considerable the damage with over one thousand and sixty structures destroyed by fires, two hundred ana eighty damaged, almost one thousand and one hundred and fifty square kilometers of burnt vegetation and moving further north is find between snow and ice with a cold chill that according to the weather forecast could continue in the next few days. To be noted changing scenery in South America that a landslide caused by torrential rains about ten days ago in Chile at Villa Santa Lucia in the district of Lakes would have caused (the searches in the mud lasted a week) fifteen victims.

Floods and landslides in the Philippines

While still looking in the Philippines some passengers dispersed of the ferry sunk in the Polillo Strait after the research had been suspended because of the bad weather, a strong vortex characterized by torrential precipitation and strong winds has lashed the main island of the country Mindanao; there is talk of more than one hundred and eighty victims due mainly to landslides that have damaged or destroyed many homes with thousands of people evacuated; moreover, the images transmitted by the media show the vastness of the floods. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the collapse in two days of forty percent of the value of an electronic money encrypted considered as a new serious environmental threat not being sustainable because of the enormous amount of energy absorbed to ensure the transactions that weigh on the whole planet despite being few users.

Rivers of India in a near future only seasonal

According to many studies if the conditions that have reduced the majority of the rivers of India to small streams should continue in the next fifteen years almost sixty percent of the rivers could become only seasonal and therefore the water will flow normally in bed of the rivers only part of the year causing major problems of water supply; moreover from twenty-five to thirty percent of the country's territory in a decade could become a desert (without adequate preventive interventions). The population will have to adapt to change type of crops and frequency of harvests whereas also the water of the Ganges is now becoming a scarce water resource. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the excessive use of deforestation to obtain the pellets fuel for domestic heating whose demand is increasingly increasing.

Landslides in Philippines and wildfires in California

Would be at least twenty-six the victims due to landslides caused by a tropical storm characterized by torrential rainfall in large areas of the country and in particular in the province of Biliran; among the areas most affected by landslides are the area about fifty kilometers from the capital Manila. With regard to California two weeks of fires would have sent in smoke over a thousand square kilometers of vegetation between the counties of Ventura and Santa Barbara in southern California and only forty percent of the huge devastating fire called "Thomas" was circumscribed, so the emergency is still at high levels with the flames that are going to burn many homes despite an army of over eight thousand firefighters being engaged in the field. The authorities have said that science is indicating that the fires are now very frequent in California and this is a real warning sign.

A new climate for multiple extreme events

It is well known that human activities influence the environment with the possibility of extreme events and now researchers would have verified that we find themselves with a new climate that results from the sum of extreme events and that the causes are not partly even natural but all connectable to fossil fuel consumption. This consideration was obtained by analyzing the data relating to the 2016 mainly concerning anomalous heat waves in Asia and temperatures far above the norm on the coasts of Alaska and generally analysis on the climatic overheating in five continents and two oceans. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a second victim (a firefighter) for the fires that are ravaging California; moreover uncontrollable bonfires for example have surpassed for dimensions one of the most affected areas of the Santa Barbara County of ten years ago.

Bad weather and discomfort in Europe for snow

It continues the wave of Arctic weathering on Europe with air and naval transport often blocked in Britain, alert in certain areas for low temperatures, closed schools and prolonged lack of electricity in one hundred and forty thousand dwellings. In Belgium a thick snow cover makes road connections difficult and it is not much better the situation in some areas of France affected by snowstorms with cold winds that have also caused numerous blackouts, while in Italy in addition to roads and rails lines impracticable for ice has been added the problem of intense rainfall with flood risk for example in Liguria. To be reported changing topic but remaining on naturalistic issues that in California the area affected by the uncontrollable burnings has increased and the 2017 year has already been marked in advance as one of the worst from the point of view of fires.

Still imposing fronts of fire in California

Due to strong gusts of wind at over eighty kilometres per hour that blowing on fires the flames quickly assaulted the dry vegetation of California forming six imposing fronts of fire in addition to other smaller ones who destroyed about five hundred structures from the San Diego area on the Pacific Coast to the Santa Barbara county and other areas concerned forcing the evacuation of more than one hundred and ninety thousand people, while the weather forecasts still announce wind considering that many dwellings (and sumptuous villas) are threatened by fire. An army of five thousand and seven hundred firefighters try to cope with the high flames and the state of emergency has been declared with support for the coordination of the Federal Agency; moreover the helicopters also throw a delayed liquid on motorways and railway lines. Particularly affected by fires vast areas in the county of San Diego, Ventura and Los Angeles.

With a joint operation between various relief organizations would have been saved three hundred and fifty-seven between fishermen and merchant personnel dispersed with their fishing boats and ships because of the passage of the cyclone "Ockhi" which struck the southern states of the country in recent days (is also talk about victims and damages especially in Kerala and Tamil Nadu), then are waiting for the weather conditions to improve to try to save many other fishermen who are dispersed in a wide radius and even to distant islands. Changing argument always in India an investigation would have pointed out that one of the causes of pollution at unbearable levels in New Delhi is the use of a dirty fuel, a sort of waste product of the American and Canadian oil industry, very economical and more energy efficient than coal, but with a heavy environmental impact and high sulphur content.

Large rivers that dumping plastic in the sea

The amount of plastic that ends every year in the seas is a danger to the ecosystem and researchers are studying systems with various technologies to collect it even if it would be easier to act at the source of pollution and therefore using less plastic and avoiding that it is discharged into rivers or before it reaches the seas; then the study would show that ninety percent of the polluting plastic comes from just ten large rivers (with at the head of this little salutary ranking Yangtze, Indo and Yellow River). In practice these are large areas where hundreds of millions of people are often concentrated and are not equipped with efficient purifiers able to filter and recycle the plastic that is discharged into the drains and then ends up reaching streams, rivers and seas. Being able to act effectively on these areas of criticism could improve an increasingly degraded situation.

Climate change, migration and mutations

Whereas climate change promotes the migration of wild species has already been highlighted by many studies and now Canadian researchers, comparing the data monitored fifty years ago, would have found that the milder winters are causing physical mutations to two species of mice in the south of Quebec as well as having pushed them further north of about eleven kilometers each year. The size of the skull has changed over time and the molar teeth have changed position to adapt to the different type of diet dictated by climate change and even if it remains to be confirmed if are genetic changes that will pass to the future generations (theory of evolution with morphological changes) or these are rapid adaptations of temporary type; without considering that when the various species migrate also have an impact on the territory with greater competition for resources that tend to become scarcer.

Damage in South Korea for an earthquake

The authorities of South Korea have stated that even if there were no casualties two days ago for the earthquake of magnitude 5.4 that hit the country and in particular the coast to the southeast are numerous the wounded and the homeless; moreover there would be significant damage to infrastructure and the media transmit images of collapsed or damaged buildings and crushed cars. This country has a rather limited seismic activity and the recent earthquake with hypocenter at the city of hang was classified as the second strongest (after the 5.8 of September 2016 with epicenter in the same area at the ancient city of Gyeongju) from when started to monitor this type of data in 1978.

Winter shorter than a month in New Zealand

The conventional winter in the southern hemisphere is calculated from the first of June to the thirty-one of August and then extends for a period of ninety-two days, but if were to take into account the temperatures the duration of winter would vary from year to year and since in 2017 the August was mild (in a unusual way) in practice unlike eighty years ago the cold season extended for only two months influencing in this way the vital cycles of plants and animals; then at high altitude the really cold days would always be less. This tendency to have shorter winters has also been monitored in other countries and statistics show that for example in America the cold season arrives more than a month later than one hundred years ago and the data monitored so far confirm that the 2017 will be one of the three hottest vintages of ever or could even beat every previous record.

Meanwhile a report of federal agencies argues that there is no doubt as to whether the man is responsible for the climatic overheating of the planet, then other reports indicate how the initiatives to prohibit the use of chemical components in refrigerant apparatus that damage the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere is working and the so-called hole on Antarctica is diminishing.

Forest loss record in 2016

Has been calculated recently that nearly thirty million hectares of forests have been destroyed last year mainly due to fires and this means a double environmental damage due to the huge release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and at the same time the impossibility of the plants to absorb CO2 thus making it more difficult to achieve the objectives set in the Paris agreement to contain the rise in global temperatures. Only in Brazil fires have burned three million and eight hundred hectares of forests and therefore three times more than in 2015 and Indonesia have gone into smoke about a million hectares with trend from this point of view rather negative so as to make this area of the planet the fourth in the ranking for emissions (before Russia). Urgent investment for the restoration and protection of forests would be needed for a natural regeneration of the ecosystem.

Canada little prepared for climate change

From a report made by the authorities of Canada about the level of preparedness to cope with climate change that already heavily affected this country has resulted that only five of the nineteen districts have adopted some initiative in this sense, while others have done little or nothing; so if is want to avoid the devastating effects of uncontrollable fires, permafrost that tends to melt, floods and other extreme events it would be important to act immediately and reduce the polluting emissions according to the plan expected by 2020 and not try to move the target to 2030 as are trying to do. Identifying vulnerabilities in time could avoid severe economic losses such as damage to railway lines, ports, airports, infrastructures in general, and this consideration is valid for all countries and not only for Canada since the climate change act globally.

Mass evacuation for a Caribbean hurricane

According to the authorities it is advisable to evacuate all the areas of the Caribbean that are on the path of the "Irma" hurricane and do not agree stubbornness to want to stay in their homes because the vortex is considered as of power never seen before, gigantic, great like the France and already classified to the highest five category degree with winds that graze the three hundred kilometers per hour. We are talking about a dozen victims in the French Caribbean between Barbuda and Saint Martin with destruction and damage of dwellings that arrive to be almost total on the territory, severe damage to infrastructure and lack of electricity, while the vortex is moving on Puerto Rico, Cuba, Bahamas and then could reach Florida with devastating effects worse than those caused by Andrew hurricane of 1992. In addition to the strong gusts of wind, the hurricane also brings torrential rains that could favour landslides and floods.

The population is often forced to move without any planning and something to eat walking on flooded land in search of aid that they can not find. The monsoon season normally extends from June to September, but this time the floods have been of exceptional intensity in vast areas of Asia, such as in Nepal and Bangladesh.

Environmental footprint of fires in Canada

It is estimated that due to the forest fires one hundred and ninety million of tonnes of greenhouse gases have been entered into the atmosphere by triple the overall environmental footprint of the country; so the various provinces should monitor this data in the annual report that is being made on emissions, considering that is not yet over the season of fires in which have gone to smoke about one million acres of forests threatening also the survival of wildlife. In addition to climate change that tends to feed a kind of continuous cycle for the fires often the carelessness and carelessness of man play a decisive role.

Troubles and problems related to the heat

The excessive temperatures have already caused significant economic damage to the whole agricultural sector in Italy with less production also for the drought and imbalances to the natural cycles so much that the grape harvest has already begun in the Langhe and Franciacorta, but there are also a whole range of inconveniences such as the presence in large numbers of mosquitoes favored by the heat, the formation of ozone in cities, the blackouts in some areas due to the excessive use of air conditioners; then some warn that there may also be electrical problems and the risk of fire at overheated units (reference is made; however, for this last case to other scenarios of the globe). It is clear that all the apparatus designed in the past to operate with milder temperatures are subject to heavy thermal stress and should adopt protective systems to adapt them to the changing climatic conditions also to avoid potentially devastating fires.

Deforestation leads to the global extinction

The data collected about the quantity of animal species at risk of complete extinction is high, at least according to a study carried out by Australian researchers that highlights how deforestation is to be identified as the main cause of this troubling phenomenon; in fact it must be considered that more than half of the species are found in the tropical forests even if they extend on about only ten percent of the Earth's surface and we should allocate more areas as protected from deforestation to preserve this biodiversity heritage and not disturbing this delicate ecosystem. We know so little of many particularly vulnerable rare species that the researchers warn that a mass extinction could already have occurred under our nose and the time to act in the tropics is right now; then also more common species such as butterflies, frogs and lizards are at risk of extinction.

Despite the environmental changes are now well perceived by everyone there are still people skeptical of climate change who argue that for example as proof the fact that there are still very low temperatures in winter with particularly cold vintages and the ice of Antarctica have risen in some areas; but the reality is that cyclic global currents of the planet affect these factors and still the planet's average temperatures are higher and then now the ice of Antarctica are retreating. Other topic argued about the natural variations that have happened in history during millions of years without analyzing the rapid global warming caused by two centuries of industrialization (that the planet cannot bear), then don't believe in the weather forecast by focusing on their inaccuracy without considering that the climate changes models are quite other event category.

A river changes direction for climate change

The climate changes in the planet are causing events that sometimes even we couldn't imagine how the sudden change in direction of the current flow of a river; in this case it's melting waters flowing downstream from the Kluane Lake fed by Kaskawulsh glacier in the Yukon National Park that is so withdrawn because of global warming that instead of flows into the Slim River and then in the North in the Bering Sea now flow southwards and flows into the Kaskawulsh River and then into the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean. The discovery was made by accident by researchers last summer remain surprised to see compared to previous remarks the erosion caused by the wind in the delta of the Kluane Lake and then this change in direction of the river; moreover can anticipate that when the glacier has melted completely will no longer be evidently water flow.

Turbulence in flights due to climate change

The greatest concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could cause changes in the Jet stream over North Atlantic corridor resulting in sudden turbulence and instability in flights caused by changes in wind speed and the airflow direction especially at altitudes between nine thousand and twelve thousand meters; in fact at this height the air above the tropics warms faster than over the Arctic and this temperature jump increases wind shear. These are rare cases that do not necessarily imply any incidents on flights or decreased level of passenger comfort, but should not be underestimated and should design the planes in the future to cope with this turmoil although some models are already equipped with technologies to manage them automatically; to note that the jet streams are often exploited to reduce the flight times.

Migratory routes affected by climate change

It was expected to still have twenty to thirty years of time before that climate change would affect migratory routes of animals, birds and all sorts of species; but recent observations confirm that these changes in migratory habits are already happening and so should take action to limit the impact of these natural changes that are likely to have an impact on our well-being, since everything in nature has a link, by establishing protected areas and habitat suitable to perform this function in addition to decrease pollution in these areas. Fishing type "industrial mining" and the rise in sea temperature influence migration of fish, then for example the whales no longer find plenty of plankton which is at the base of the food chain and in general many species fail to adapt to these so quick changes.

Antarctica with ten percent less ices

Going from over two million three hundred thousand square kilometers of the previous record registered in February 2011 to about two million and one hundred thousand researchers have detected a loss of ten percent of the sea ice, whereas in 2014 in contrast had been reached a record extension; but as explained by other studies had been icy winds just caused by climate change to encourage this phenomenon. This is according to researchers from one of the greatest cycles of the planet with about ninety percent of newly sea ice formed more than a year ago and the difference in negative regarding the merger of the ice would be due to rising minimum temperatures. In the southern hemisphere in the summer at the end of February the ice usually reaches its minimum extension, but the conditions in Antarctica generally are very variable.

The cause is not sure, but there would be a correlation with the temperatures of the sites where these birds small size with greyish-black plumage on the back and white ventrally located nourishment; then the study would have shown that males with larger patches are favored by females in colder seasons compared to those warmer. This trend about the ornaments was also found in other birds.

Remote consequences of global warming

It is difficult to think that what happens for example in the Arctic can influence the climate at different latitudes, but researchers have found that what is happening in the Arctic not necessarily remain in this area of the globe; in fact the anomalous overheating prevents the formation of new ice and this could weaken the jet streams that affect global climate due to the cold air that is released with the melting of the ice. Other long distance consequences should have been detected to the phenomenon of desertification that making progressively less humid the soils prevents that typical cooling due to evaporation (something like what happens with the sweat in humans) and tends to raise the temperatures in a cycle that feeds on itself, then the surface earth comes dry and the dust tend to fly as wind-blown making life difficult in affected areas.

We must also be aware of a range of self-perpetuating mechanisms, for example as the planet gets warmer soil microbes tend to release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a cycle that repeats itself bringing more heat and therefore over the two degrees Celsius limit considered as maximum limit.

The loss of biodiversity and destruction of the ecosystem not only have consequences for plants and wildlife but also directly over our lives and the pressure of the human expansions on the planet is no longer sustainable, at least from the findings report from international organizations who experience such as for example that from 1970 to 2012 the total population of vertebrates would be dropped by fifty-eight percent due to human activities and the degratation of habitat; so should act now to avoid devastating consequences. A small step to get started might be simply to reduce consumption of meat (and evidently also of fish saw the depopulation of the seas with fishing type industrial extraction), then should be aware of the impact of our daily actions, habits, social behaviour in general and what cause directly on the environment.

A new permanently polluted climate era

The announcement by international organizations that have permanently passed the threshold of four hundred parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means the entry into a new climate era comes after a series of unfavourable environmental parameters, starting with consecutive records about global average temperature increase (except maybe in September), the rise in sea levels that threatens the survival of entire populations, then the loss of biodiversity and of wider and wider portions of the reef. It is irreversible damages and therefore a real current climate disruption and a rather bleak scenario if don't succeed in significantly reducing the emissions. Completely changing topic but staying on naturalistic issues to report that it has been found that lithium-ion batteries being charged emit over one hundred toxic gases some environmentally damaging.

The world's oldest air station located at Manua Loa in Hawaii would have measured record levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and in particular last year CO2 concentrations would grow more than any other time period monitored since 1950; in fact in practice it has gone from an increase on average of two parts per million in the last decade to three ppm in 2015 and with a tendency to rise in the surveys carried out until February 2016. According to the researchers these figures alarming and changes may result from a combination of emissions from human activities and the effects of a global power called "El Nino" since even in 1998 occurred with particular intensity this phenomenon. CO2 concentrations would have risen from two hundred and eighty parts per million before the 1800 to today's four hundred ppm.

Many fallen trees for bad weather in Italy

Would be six the victims of bad weather in Italy mainly because of fallen trees uprooted by the wind, the wave of bad weather is still affecting the whole country from North to South, for example to report avalanches in Aosta for heavy snow, intense rainfall in Veneto, Emilia, Tuscany; then blasts of wind and rain in Lazio and especially in Campania with damage to Quarto and Herculaneum with warnings of caution for the population. In Puglia the wind knocked down many billboards and in Calabria one child was seriously injured by a large branch fell out of a tree, closed for precaution schools in some centers. From a certain point of view could say that all this rain and snow is quite positive for the country's water supplies reached winding down for the long period of almost total absence of precipitation, so much so that farmers foresee do not have a good year.

Tibet's water resources under threat

The map of water resources of Tibet has undergone drastic changes after the annexation of China with sensitive consequences across the ecosystem already tried by climate change, since temperatures on the plateau have grown at double pace than those monitored in the rest of the planet; then some decry the considerable enhancement of that species of industry which carries the pure water of the Himalayan glaciers to bottle it and transport over long distances for a market become rather skeptical about the drinking water supplied by aqueducts premises. In addition to the overexploitation of water resources that basically becomes one of the knobs that powers the entire industrial chain there is also the problem of the polluting emissions that this process implies. To note that in other countries of the globe whole rivers were channelled within industry bottlers.

Climate change agreements have little effect

What in December had been greeted with enthusiasm as a giant step forward for establishing a global agreement to reduce emissions is already showing little effect in reality, since the country historically responsible for entered into the atmosphere huge amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants now shows itself unwilling to adopt the plan previously announced with a pattern of emission cuts until reach the thirty-two percent by 2030. Depending on how planned investments in energy resources of fossil type for example, is possible make a rough estimate on the impact of more emissions into the environment; so regardless of the agreements reached on any emission reductions are the choices actually taken individually on the territory to influence the greenhouse effect and global climate warming.

There are few doubts that what some call a veritable invasion of Aedes mosquito that transmits the virus Zika is due to climate change and global warming due to human activities and pollutants will allow this and other bugs responsible for serious diseases to find supportive environments to reproduce. The Aedes (aegypti and albopictus) likely responsible for microcephaly in children born to women infected with the virus is active during the day, much like our Asian Tiger mosquito that looks for the livery with white dots, then use the mosquito nets at night above the beds doesn't appear to be an effective solution in the countries affected by the emergency.

Temperatures from record heat in 2015

As widely anticipated by the measurements taken last year particularly in September 2015 was a very warm year with various records from when recording the temperatures with prolonged droughts in India, Pakistan, and part of Africa, or on the contrary very intense rainfall with floods in many areas of Europe and America, then warm in Russia and relatively warm for the zone type even in Siberia. There was just no pause in global climate warming in recent decades, as some argued returning evidently false data, and in practice every year has been warmer than the previous one (with variations in positive and negative that views in the long run can be considered almost negligible) including the 2015 that not only was hotter than 2014 but for the first time surpassed the barrier of one Centigrade degrees on average; moreover the damage was substantial.

Natural gas leak in Los Angeles that pollutes

More than eighty thousand cubic metres of methane would end up in the air (?) since it started a natural gas leak from an underground pipe from 23 October near Los Angeles that means as pollution in the air to burn three thousand and six hundred million liters of fuel, then even if inhaling methane is not generally considered dangerous to the health there could be in natural gas traces of benzene, toluene, xylene that are not very healthy and well as several citizens have blamed ailments and nausea while California authorities have evacuated thousands of people in the area of Porter Ranch. As for nausea and headache some claim are caused by an odorous component added to the gas. To report changing the subject but staying on naturalistic issues that climate change now pose a greater risk of weapons of mass destruction.

Discussions about the beginning of new geological era

Humanity has left a trace on the planet with its activities so much that for some time there is talk of a new geological era identified as Anthropocene, but it remains to identify the period would begin while researchers of an international group generally tend to identify the half of the last century as the real turning point for example due to the huge cement production, of plastic, aluminum, greenhouse gases and fallout from nuclear weapons. In practice the Anthropocene (Anthropos is Greek for male) can be identified as the period in which human activities have produced substantial modifications to the planet a bit as the Jurassic period is known for the dominance of dinosaurs on land. To note that some argue that man is changing, slowly but surely, the chemical and physical characteristics that allow life on the planet.

Climatic anomalies or global warming

Lately there have been some climatic anomalies with for example waves of warm air at the North Pole which favored rainfall and then temperatures above the zero Celsius degree in areas usually freezing and it also happened that during the day there were up to forty degrees Celsius more than the norm so that some could compare them to those of countries known for mild temperatures but these variations defined as oddities are likely to be attributable to global warming that causes climatic fluctuations, as has been proven in many cases. Temperatures then are again descended, however it seems that the Arctic is more sensitive to the phenomenon of global warming than other areas of the globe and where the ice retreats in the sea near the coast plankton blooms and small fish are preyed upon by subarctic species that tend to go further north, in practice it is a threat to the ecological system.

To report changing the subject but staying out of naturalistic issues that the COP21 conference discussions emphasize how to stop the growth of emissions should take place as soon as possible since global temperatures have already risen by about one degree Celsius and many countries have not done enough to reach those objectives that allow for the long term in 2050 to reach a balance between emissions and amount absorbed by forests and oceans.

Regardless the final decisions that will soon be taken by the authorities of one hundred ninety-five countries in Paris at the end of the major conference COP21 the proposal to keep global temperatures under control and the agreement that this limit should be well below two degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels would seem altogether positive initiatives, but the lack of constraints or systems of fines act as a deterrent in case of non-compliance with the emission limits raise some doubts on the success of the entire operation to protection of the environment. The situation is very complex since large countries like China and India do not seem to be very willing to drastic cuts in emissions with the risk that they continue to produce using coal-fired many of the goods sold in the world including those considered environmentally friendly or its components.

Hopes on important climate conference

The Conference to address climate change named "COP21" that is about to begin in Paris, metropolis still upset because of recent terrorist attacks and manned by a large number of police officers, is considered very important for the future of the planet since the so-called window of intervention to try to lessen the greenhouse effect has almost closed, but this time have already asked the participating countries to prepare a plan of action that already has known in general outline. For example, Mexico wants to reduce gas emissions of twenty-two percent and to zero the deforestation, while India has already been calculated that planned reductions are not sufficient, then remains the problem that investment in the energy sector of large industrialized countries have already been earmarked with a tendency to give preference to fossil fuels; so the situation is complex.

Biodiversity unsustainable with current rhythms

Compared to previous studies with regard to a healthy biodiversity on the planet, the situation appears to be much worse and the rhythms of human expansion into new areas to exploit intensive crops and consequently constitute industrial networks to support energy-consuming activities are causing a mass extinction of animal species never seen before, since the time of the dinosaurs, then have to consider that the same human species with these rhythms may be early in the list of animals at risk of extinction. Biodiversity loss is also a detriment to the wellbeing since human life is closely linked to that of other living beings; it also means to be deprived of the beauty that surrounds us. It should be noted that biodiversity is often not easily visible and just look at a small sample of the surface land to realize just how varied is the nature.

Chameleons can change color in just a few minutes from a livery to not identify mingling with the colors of the environment to a jarring with communicative purposes with rich pigment cells to dark colors, but those brighter or lighter ones are made of cells which simulate crystal mirrors, then can also mix the two types of effects.

The Mekong and Mississippi delta are considered among the most vulnerable and are characterized by fertile soil, ecological utility and richness of biodiversity; for this for example we need to make changes to works built along rivers so that the sediments are not impeded and build barriers to prevent the sea salt can damage the land.

After the months of May, June and August showed all record in media on global temperatures also the month of September would have been the warmest on average since 1880 has begun to perform this type of measurement, but with the exception February all months of the year were really warm compared to the average, and so it may be yet another record year with over fourteen degrees Celsius in average combined considering the surface of the oceans, if ever during the last three months of the year continue this trend [31/12 - event then happened]. The hottest areas are found in the northwestern Africa, in the coastal regions in the southeastern South America, southwestern Australia, parts of the Middle East and regions of the southeastern Asia. Recently the European authorities have stated that the plan to cut pollutant emissions of a forty percent for 2030 is insufficient.

Bad weather in Italy, big whirls in India and Japan

Continues to do damage the wave of bad weather that is by investing for a few days Italy and for example in Parma the river Baganza is overflows forcing citizens to arm themselves with shovels and buckets to shovel mud and water from activities and houses as happened in Genoa where the situation is slowly returning to normal, but in the meantime became evident the serious responsibility of the directors who have made the area vulnerable to atmospheric phenomena without making the necessary maintenance of watercourses and is investigated for manslaughter disaster. Shifting the focus to other scenarios to report a strong cyclone (Hudhud) in eastern India which has killed at least twenty-four people mainly because of falling trees with four hundred thousand displaced, then a typhoon (Vongfong) in Japan which affected the islands of Okinawa and Kyushu causing at least thirty-seven wounded with one hundred fifty thousand displaced persons.

Still shaking the earth in Yunnan province in China

After three months after the earthquake that had caused six hundred victims and two thousand four hundred injured in Yunnan in China yesterday another quake of magnitude 6.6 on the Richter scale with epicenter at Jinggu about five kilometers deep shook the southwestern of this province considered subject to phenomena of telluric; this time it was reported to be the victim and three hundred wounded, then the authorities sent rescue teams and proceeded to find accommodation for over fifty-six thousand displaced. Changing scenery but remaining on issues of naturalistic report by yet another typhoon that is going to affect Japan called "Vongfong" and considered very dangerous (more than nine hundred millibars of pressure in the center) of the highest category also if though is projected to lose power tapping land Saturday and then gradually move from category five to three, then two.

Increase the number of victims of Ontake volcano

The eruption of the volcano Mount Ontake in Japan took place last Saturday when a group of hikers was on a trip in what is a popular tourist destination would have caused forty-eight victims according to the authorities who have declared that this is the worst disaster due to volcanic activity in almost ninety years, then there would still be an unknown number of people missing of wich no longer news that rescuers were unable to reach due to bad weather conditions. A report indicates the presence of three hundred twenty-seven hikers on the mountain, many have managed to get out during the eruption of which perhaps some have not notified to the authorities that have been able to save themselves, but the possibility remains that have been buried by rocks and and volcanic ash. The volcanic activity is not yet over and continue to be recorded tremors and shocks from Saturday.

China overtakes Europe for per capita emissions

Global emissions of greenhouse gases continue to rise a steady stream and in particular it seems according to a Norwegian study that China has overtaken Europe for emissions per capita (considering that the great eastern country is densely populated with large areas still not industrialized), then according to the predictions of researchers also India will overtake Europe in 2019 for emissions of carbon dioxide. In 2013 a record amount of thirty-six billion tons of CO2 were emitted into the atmosphere and thus seems far the goal of keeping global temperatures under control. In general on the of total emissions China is in first place with a twenty-nine percent, then the United States with fifteen, but preserving far ahead the record of per capita emissions that are more than three times the global average. Some think for the future to focus on technological city with low environmental impact.

Alert for Bardarbunga volcano activity in Iceland

There could be significant emission of ash into the atmosphere with problems on some airspace routes due to eruptions of the volcano Bardarbunga in Iceland, a country that had already been interested from the intense activity of another volcano that had paralyzed flight in a wide range. Now expects the magma melt the ice completely on top of the great volcano, considered one of the most dangerous in Iceland, while aftershocks of magnitude 5 - 5.3 on the Richter scale to five kilometers deep from the caldera were recorded probably due to subsidence caused by variations of the pressure for the leakage of the magma. To note changing scenario, the earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred in California not far from San Francisco between ten and twenty kilometers deep which caused dozens of injuries, damage to homes and disruption of power lines.

Older climate models are not most reliable

The changes in climate on the planet due to the greenhouse effect makes the predictions made on the basis of meteorological and climate models unreliable considering that global warming is accelerating registering record temperatures in the southern hemisphere with some countries that have had record warmer last year and other extreme weather events such as happened in Australia in 2013 with waves of heat over several days with temperatures of ten degrees above average. The dramatic changes in climate that are also damaging agricultural crops with higher and higher temperatures could lead in the future to consider fresh ones those we now call periods in hot media. Of note with regard to the damage to the agricultural products that lately in Italian growers complain for a period of climatic instability that hinders a quality crops.

Ground injection of water and earthquakes

The practice of fracking that uses large amounts of water to extract oil and gas from underground has long been criticized for the negative effects on the environment and by now there would be no evidence that it causes earthquakes such as occurred in Arkansas, Ohio, Texas and especially in Oklahoma where in the small town of Jones were recorded over two thousand five hundred aftershocks of magnitude greater than three on the Richter scale since 2008 and therefore there would be a net increase of tremors. The injection of high pressure water not only causes the hydraulic fractures but in practice squeezes from the soil much more oil than conventional methods; moreover also need special techniques to separate the water from the fuel which then will be salt and some propose regulations to protect drinking water from these large volumes of saline flows, without considering the possible infiltration of methane in the water.

The flood has also had implications a little macabre since the force of the water did discover the skeletons of people executed during the 1992-95 conflict in Doboj and through DNA testing will proceed to try to identify the war victims. Shifting the focus to other scenarios should be noted that the partial melting of frozen ground is damaging the plateau of Tibet railway lines that practically resting on the ice.

Compensation for the damages of climate change

The industrial emissions have caused serious damage across the planet and especially to the poorest and most vulnerable, and some have proposed to establish compensation paid for by big oil companies that are responsible for a large part of the emissions calculated that a sixty-three percent come from about ninety entities at industrial level, considering for example that the Haiyan typhoon in the Philippines in addition to having caused more than six thousand victims has left four million people homeless and a trail of destruction with huge economic damage. If someone causes harm because of the pollution that produces obtaining large sums should also pay adequate compensation whereas more than half of all carbon dioxide emissions come from less than a hundred companies, but in all these cases should be specific legislation.

While are getting more and more alarming reports about the melting of ice and global significant economic damage connected to the ongoing climate change on the planet there are also proposals to reduce a little the pollution such as in America with a plan for a cut of a thirty percent of the emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, considering that it is an industry (often based on the exploitation of coal) which produces about forty percent of CO2 emissions in the country. According to the environmental regulatory authorities these cuts should prevent over six thousand and six hundred premature deaths and fifty thousand asthma attacks in children.

The process that leads to the melting of the ice at a rapid pace in West Antarctic due to global warming caused by human activities according to the latest observations would have crossed the line of no return, and then unleashing a kind of chain reaction that can not be stop, but reducing emissions at least can slow this alarming dissolution besides minimize the effects of climate change that cause considerable damage across the globe. The situation is worse than previously expected, and therefore the rise in sea levels due to melting ice is greater than that which had been made without taking into account the West Antarctic area; moreover computer simulations show the process of the collapse of the ice comparable in a figurative way to dominoes falling one after the other in a model that feeds on itself.

Research on gases responsible for ozone depletion

The ultraviolet rays are considered responsible of cancers in men and infertility in animals are filtered into the stratosphere between fifteen and thirty kilometers of altitude by a layer of ozone gas that has thinned probably for the emission of chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs which act chemically on the ozone molecule that becomes molecular oxygen and researchers have identified four new man-made similar type gas perhaps responsible for the ozone hole. It is not known with precision the source of these new gases very harmful to the environment since they remain for many years in the atmosphere, but it is thought that they can serve for the production of insecticides and for the cleaning of electronic components. In 1987 with the Montreal Protocol were banned the CFCs used primarily for refrigerant use and replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs), then considered with marked greenhouse effect.

Climatic data of 2013 analyzed and compared

Average global temperatures are an important parameter to analyze the trend of global warming on the planet and in 2013 was ranked seventh of the warmest years since these data are recorded climate with an average temperature of more than fourteen and a half degrees Celsius and November month would be the hottest ever recorded, in addition, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would overcome in some control detection units the four hundred parts per million. We must consider comparing data of different vintages that there may be fluctuations always relevant and therefore is unlikely due to the greenhouse that every year proves hotter than the last, but overall there is no doubt the influence of human activities on the global climate, so that ultimately the European authorities have called on governments to a greater commitment on the reduction of pollutant emissions.

Little attention on the climate issue

Until a short time ago the authorities in Europe seemed to be willing to make decisions favorable to shift to renewable energy and achieve ambitious goals, but apparently show little attention to what was called in the sense of plan to deal with the global pollution the "package 20-20-20 to be achieved by 2020" regarding the different percentage of reductions in pollution, increasing the share of renewable energy and energy efficiency (compared to 1990 levels). Challenged practices for the environmental impact as fracking for gas extraction are not yet regulated as most of those accused of being globally pollutants. To note, changing the subject but staying on natural themes the wave of bad weather that hit the south of France and Italy in various regions and in particular in Liguria with dead, missing, damage to infrastructure and small towns evacuated.

Still a lot of electricity is obtained from coal

Despite the efforts of many countries to increase the share of energy from renewable energy sources remains high the use of coal in power plants and for example in Germany in 2013 would have reached its peak in twenty years and this seems to be due to the low cost of certified permissions for the amount of CO2 emissions, then in the total budget considering the energy obtained from numerous plants that use the sun and the wind is also part a large coal plant which replaced one of lower power and ultimately rose the plants fueled with anthracite. These data are in contradiction to the intentions declared by Germany to break free from the consumption of fossil fuels by 2050. The emissions of CO2 that amplify the greenhouse effect are probably among the causes of the recent climatic imbalances that are occurring in America.

Cold in America and bad weather in France

Unusually low temperatures have been recorded in America and many east coast states are also covered with a thick layer of snow that has caused disruption and accidents with different victims, while weather forecasts warn that could touch real temperatures almost less than thirty degrees C in some areas that are already in the grip of ice and snow, especially hard hit Boston with about forty-five centimeters of snow, and also to the south in the city of New Orleans as soon as the temperature of two degrees has made it difficult for the homeless. Shifting the focus to Europe to report a rather intense disturbance that is affecting England and in particular France with floods and flooding so that the authorities have declared for some areas of the state of natural disaster, in addition, the wave of bad weather is shifting to Italy and could affect in particular the Liguria.

Transfusions of water from Red Sea to the Dead Sea

The depletion of water resources that feed the Dead Sea are doing to decrease the level of one meter every year, so in order to avoid the disappearance of this lake with high salinity level so as not to allow any form of life (hence the name) it is designed to channel water from the Red Sea after having desalinated water in a plant near Aqaba to save it, but some argue that this does not resolve the situation, and indeed could have serious ecological consequences. To mix sea water with that of the lake can cause proliferation of algae and bacteria, responsible for the coloration of the Red Sea, then the amount of added water will not be sufficient to avoid that the level of the Dead Sea continues to drop. To remember that at the shores of the Dead Sea have been found important mystics manuscripts of a religious community considered very close to the Essenes.

New hypotheses on the formation of the ozone hole

They may be weather conditions that vary from year to year to influence the formation of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere in the Antarctic area beyond to the chemicals, in fact, in spite of the ban has been in place for two decades of substances (such as CFCs) accused of destroying the ozone gas in a chemical reaction powered by the sun the hole in the casing of ozone gas would not be reduced or varied depending on the year and for example, in 2006-11 appears to be very large and reduced in 2012. The new hypothesis would be that the weather such as temperature and especially the wind change in the lower layers of the stratosphere ozone layer and therefore also varies accordingly in the higher layers making up the hole of different sizes depending on the year. Until 2030 the weather conditions will continue to be dominant, then the hole could begin to decline.

Bad weather and high winds in North Europe

Wind gusts with peaks of over a hundred and fifty kilometers per hour were recorded in Germany due to a low pressure system called "Xaver" that still stationed in the North of Europe, and there are ten victims in the countries where the weather did weigh the most its action as England, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, as well as damage to roofs, for example, interruption of power lines and fallen trees for road traffic, the inconvenience for navigation until the complete stop of the activities in the port of Hamburg flooded by an high tide of six meters above the sea level. Some have compared the effects of strong winds in a hurricane species and in England there was talk of one of the worst flooding of coastal areas for sixty years, while the action of the perturbation now on the Baltic is not yet exhausted, and according to the weather forecast might even get air cold from the Arctic.

Erosion of the beaches in Cuba and in the globe

Among the damages due to climate change and the relative increase of average temperatures an Institute for Meteorology of Cuba has predicted that in addition to a slow process of degradation of land and water resources there is the risk that the coastal cities may disappear and thus threatening tourism in these areas, in addition, already famous beaches such as Varadero and at the Jardines del Rey recorded a net erosion due to increased sea-level rise that with the passing of time will cause the infiltration of salt water into cultivated land (a situation common to other areas of the globe). From 1951 to 2010, average temperatures in Cuba have risen by almost one degree and are more frequent periods of drought with high rate of evaporation of soil that hinders agricultural activity and therefore are provided prevention plans and to minimize the damage that does not neglect a healthy recovery of biodiversity and the protection of the coasts.

Butterflies season hampered by greenhouse effect

The butterflies would be very sensitive to temperature and their flying season is anticipated over two days on average each degree Celsius increase in temperature, at least as the result of a study conducted in Canada in a museum examining the behavior of butterflies of many species also in the past, noting that if these moths emerge too soon can meet a little favorable ambience, still frost or devoid of plants that can provide nourishment and according to the researchers this is a valid signal in general to evaluate the response of other creatures to the greenhouse effect emissions. Meanwhile, with regard to the arguments that denounce climate change is now clear that skepticism has been driven by few large companies in the energy sector of fossil fuels, responsible for sixty percent of the global emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Exploitation of the Amazon forest and global

Satellite images have revealed that the area affected by deforestation in the Amazon jungle has tripled mainly due to the exploitation of gold mines with precious mineral mining areas which have risen from ten thousand hectares in 1999 to over fifty thousand in September 2012, and this has happened also due to the increase in gold prices and the economic crisis that has affected Peru in 2008, whereas the damage is not only the green lungs of the planet, but also for the extraordinary biodiversity of these areas. The exploitation of the planet for the extraction of minerals, breeding and for new crops is reaching alarming levels and it is the little healthy eating habit to consume large amounts of meat each year forcing farmers to allocate larger parts for these intensive activities that pollute heavily on the ground.

This growing population to the continues search for fossil fuels in order to support the growth has a significant impact at this rate in negative exposing organisms at a intolerable pressure on the evolutionary plan with level of acidification of the seas that has no parallel in the last three hundred million years Whereas the oceans provide about half the oxygen we breathe in addition to feed billions of people every year.

Act quickly against climate change

Although lately it has detected a slowing of climate change with respect to forecasts and trends of progressive type of previous years, however, the researchers report that we must act quickly with measures to curb polluting emissions whereas the consumption of fossil fuels probably affects these to ninety-five percent, and extreme events such as those that occurred in Russia in 2010 may lead to a global rise in grain prices with a significant impact on nutrition in the world. According to previous studies took to the nature about one million years to form fossil fuels that man burns in a single year and this figure continues to increase for the continued demand from emerging countries that emit vast quantities of carbon dioxide equal to those issued by countries in which the industrialization process began much earlier.

The management of this large elephant population poses some problems of environmental impact and is expected eventually to a plan for the migration of elephants in other neighboring countries.

Average global temperatures continue to rise due to the emissions from fossil fuels, which are persistent, and it is estimated that sea levels will grow to over two meters each degree Celsius in most of the global warming over the next two thousand years and it is estimated that if temperatures rise by about four degrees above pre-industrial era ice of Antarctica could contribute to a fifty percent rise in the seas while those of Greenland for an additional twenty-five percent, while the thermal expansion of the ocean water (which currently would be the most significant component) for a twenty percent. To note that the rate provided by the melting of mountain glaciers could contribute only for a five per cent of the rise of the seas since many of them (with a few temporary exceptions) at this rate it will be withdrawn almost completely.

Slowly the water level in rural areas affected by flooding in Central Europe is going down after the recent floods that have caused twelve victims and some missing, but there is a huge damage to the whole agricultural sector with consequences on the productions that will last for some time in a period where there are few economic resources available for aid, considering that the thousands of evacuees will repair homes and businesses flooded by water. The countries that have been affected to a greater extent by the rains of torrential type would be Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Switzerland with many large rivers that overflowed and dams that have succumbed, while still continuing to scroll through and drain the rushing water in worrisome mode. The worst situation for the statistics is against the Bavarian city of Passau which saw the worst flooding in five hundred years.

A new tornado heads for Oklahoma City

Alert on Oklahoma City and the suburbs for some new tornadoes that would have caused fourteen dead [02/06], many injured and floods just ten days away from the very strong EF5 intensity that hit above the suburb of Moore, and the authorities have warned people to get safe while already have been filmed from motorists who were traveling in Arkansas and Oklahoma images of the vortex that pulls strongly pieces of sheet metal and debris, disrupting power lines and communication of thousands of people. The area affected by the phenomenon of frequent tornado has been monitored in the past to find out what were the reasons why these violent eddies are formed, and found that in a front of moist and warm air down close to the ground from the south is wedged due to wind a cold front higher from the north generating vortices whose velocities are estimated only for the time at the computer.

Great Barrier Reef in Australia at risk

It's not just climate change threatening the Great Barrier Reef in Australia but also the mining of minerals made by man at a growing rate, at least from what appears from the report of international organizations that could soon put this ocean region considered wonderful in the planet in the list of assets at risk of humanity. The Great Barrier Reef is actually the largest living organism on earth and it is estimated that in the past twenty-seven years, half of the corals that compose it has been lost due to higher water temperatures in the summer that do discolor corals and the increased acidity of water (due to the high concentration of CO2 in the air), then should also consider storms, floods, fertilizers and pesticides used in agriculture that end up in the ocean and favor the proliferation of starfish that eat the coral.

A cyclone and heavy rains on Bangladesh

A category one cyclone named "Mahasen" with winds over a hundred kilometers per hour struck the south coasts of Bangladesh causing thirty deaths and considerable damage to homes before losing strength, there were also heavy rains and paralyzed traffic in the capital Dhaka and especially in Patuakhali about two hundred kilometers to the south where there have been flooding in the lower areas. As often happens in the case of rainfall there was talk of poor drainage system in Dhaka with the roads have become impassable, but it is to the south where high waves have hit the coast that occurred the most damage and flooding with a high number of people evacuated. To signal by shifting the focus to other scenarios always of naturalistic type the hurricane season in Texas and the perturbation that is going through the northern regions of Italy with swollen rivers at risk of overflows.

Environmentalists meeting rigged to represent bees

Environmental groups celebrated, some clothes and made up with clothes that represented the typical "livery of bees", the agreement recently reached by the European Union (by fifteen of twenty-seven states) to ban pesticides for two years of the so-called neonicotinoids considered responsible for the marked decline in the bee population, in addition, the restriction is also for other chemicals that hinder the healthy action of pollination of crops and therefore play an important role for the same food chain. Researchers have long had identified a kind of disorder that leads to colony collapse due to chemicals that act on the nervous apparatus of bees, but pesticide manufacturers were opposed to any restriction. To signal remaining in the natural environment the harsh situation that still affects the Somali people due to years of drought.

An earthquake with a magnitude quantify between 6.1 and 6.3 of the Richter scale hit a rural area near the port city of Bushehr in Iran where it is placed the only discussed nuclear plant of the country without causing any damage, but there are at least forty and eight hundred wounded victims in the area affected by the earthquake whereas it is a provisional balance and many people could be buried under the rubble of houses of rural type with about twelve thousand inhabitants. The epicenter of the quake was located at Kaki ninety kilometers south-east from Bushehr and the quake that razed a village near Khormoj was felt clearly in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab especially in offices located on floors tall buildings which in some cases have been evacuated. Rescue teams combined with security forces were sent in the affected area where the telephone and electricity connections have been cut.

Province of Buenos Aires flooded by heavy rains

Heavy rain flooded with over four hundred millimeters of water in about two hours in the province of Buenos Aires and in particular the area of La Plata forty kilometers from the capital, causing at least fiftyfour victims in a balance still considered provisional because the lower floors of many houses are still submerged, there is power failure in many areas and the situation is a bit chaotic. Some of the victims have been caught in their cars by streams of water that have quickly submerged others were electrocuted by electric shock, while many have found refuge on the roofs of their houses or on trees. The main refinery of the country flooded by water has suspended the operations due to a fire that took hours to be tamed, even difficult emergency management for over twenty-five hundred displaced persons in the area of La Plata who often have lost everything.

The waves of water mixed with mud fed by heavy rains have paralyzed traffic in the city center by dropping a lot of trees, then there were car accidents chain also due to the malfunctioning of the manholes that have proved underpowered compared to the "new climate needs". To note, changing scenery but remaining on natural themes, cold and bad weather in some parts of Europe where the sun is almost always veiled.

Initiatives in Canada against the climate change

A symbolic walk with lighted candles was made Saturday [23/03] by a group of Toronto residents in the neighborhood of the Roncesvalles Village to raise awareness in the face of climate change and energy waste in a country like Canada that has not adhered to the initiative to extend the Kyoto Protocol on the reduction of pollution. In addition to trying to save on electricity by turning off lights that are not strictly necessary should promote renewable energy, really ecological and use public transport to get around or even better cycling and walking. Changing scenario, but always keeping on environmental issues to report bad weather in Italy, especially in the northern regions with is so cold that an athlete marathon is probably died of hypothermia in the area of Savona in Liguria region.

Other times, swarms of locusts coming from Syria or Libya invaded Egypt and the authorities now use aircraft to spray (unhealthy) insecticides on agricultural areas to cope with the situation. Another view that is not exactly clear can be defined in some Chinese cities far worse than forced to block traffic in European cities so that the air quality is becoming one of the main arguments in the discussions.

A strong storm has hit the city of Catania in Sicily with streets as the Etnea and squares as that of the cathedral flooded by water so as to require the intervention of divers, but there would not be missing although some people suffered fractures to try to get to safety or were forced to climb on the roofs of houses to avoid being swept away by rivers of water and many cars were bogged down due to one hundred millimeters of rain fell in about an hour (then it seems that the manholes were clogged). In the northern regions the low temperatures are favoring snowfall and according to the weather forecast a disturbance will bring more snow even at low altitude, while in other regions there may be some time. As regards the storms without notice seems that they are becoming a characteristic of the territory probably favored by climate change.

Initiatives against fracking in the subsoil

Extend initiatives to denounce the dangers of "fracking," a technique that takes advantage of the gas trapped in rocks in the subsurface by injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals at high pressure in deposits which is not possible with standard perforations to escape the gas, but runs the risk of destabilizing the soil and pollute the water table depth. The opinions regarding this technique are varied and is usually accompanied by some studies as favoring the land-based activities, especially in areas where the fault may already weakened further crack and break, generating earthquakes of a certain intensity, considering that also the normal oil or water extraction of underground can alter the geology balance. The chemicals that are released during the use of fracking may flow over time to reach the water and force it to land reclamation.

As concern the atmospheric time it seems that the cold currents of Arctic origin cross the country lower temporarily the temperatures especially at night with frosts in the morning and then in agreement [partly] with the popular tradition of so-called "day of the Merla", then a disturbance could bring snow also to low altitude in northern regions.

According to the weather forecast the situation in Beijing could improve thanks to the winds that should a little clean up the air that like a gray hood surrounds the metropolis of about twenty million inhabitants and more than five million vehicles (with their polluting discharges that are added to those resulting from the use of coal), but would take structural measures to prevent recurrence of the problem which also has profound effects on the health of the population due to poor air quality and resulting high number of hospitalizations.

A volunteer who worked to put out the flames at the Gundaroo village which is located about two hundred twenty kilometers south-west of Sydney seems to have suffered severe burns to the hands and face, and several teams are committed to tackle the uncontrolled fires that still affect areas south of Tasmania. Due to climate change the extreme conditions will become more frequent and the climate in Australia tends to be at certain periods increasingly hot and dry thus favoring vegetation fires.

Extended until 2020 the Kyoto Protocol

The news that at the Doha Conference on Climate Change in Qatar has been decided to extend until 2020 (doing in this way bridge to the times when it comes into force the so-called Durban platform) measures to control emissions of pollutants included in the Kyoto Protocol leaves some questions about the real environmental progress for the planet since the countries who enter the most carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have never joined the initiative and it is also unclear how will be allocated aid to countries affected by climate change. Rising sea level poses a serious threat to the islands such as Nauru in Micronesia, and the Marshal in the Pacific Ocean where the capital Majuro is only one meter above sea level and ice of the Arctic are melting at a faster rate than calculated than also the greenhouse effect is more pronounced than expected.

Reached new limits of pollutant emissions

Having entered in the atmosphere the past year over thirty-eight billion tons of carbon dioxide, calculating the greenhouse gas emissions of all nations, would have reached a new limit of about one billion tons more than the previous year (a three percent more), and every second would be more than a million pounds the amount of CO2 released by human activities with unhealthy implications for the environment since these emissions tend to remain in the atmosphere for about a century. The most polluting countries are the China, with ten billion tons, and America with nearly six, then the India with two tons and a half, so the researchers argue that we are losing our ability to control global warming because these countries have not acceded to the initiatives to a significant reduction in emissions, and there would also be some new defection.

This large dam which should be ready by the end of 2019 will be able to produce a quantity of energy such as to be regarded as a kind of battery for the whole area of the Mekong, but environmentalists argue that could be disastrous for sixty million individuals who depend on the river for both the food and the economy (without considering transport). The migrating fish on the river may be impaired as well as vital nutrients for reproduction, with modifications also to the flow of the sediment.

Earthquake in Lorca favored by water extraction

Last year an earthquake of more than five magnitude on the Richter scale struck the Spanish town of Lorca, and now researchers speculate that the earthquakes may have been favored by water extraction used for agricultural purposes (while in Italy at the same time discusses the predictability of earthquakes or less), at least as shown by the examination of the satellite maps that have allowed to understand which parts of the ground had moved. The use of water in the ground for years may have supported the stress of the fault which then caused the earthquake, although being the seismic zone does not mean that there is a direct relationship or there might be a link with the entity of the earthquake, as in other cases of exploitation of the land use with practices such as the "fracking" for the extraction of gas accused from time to destabilize the subsoil.

Climate change with bizarre effects in Antarctica

Contrary to what is happening to Arctic sea ice at the North Pole that are melting fast (recording new record) in Antarctica to the South Pole, the ice surface increases slightly because apparently the ozone hole that prevents the form as a sort of "blanket" that keeps the heat and the cold winds that form a wall that keeps the cold of Antarctica as trapped. This bizarre aspect of climate change should not have an impact on civilization, since the Antarctica is surrounded only by large areas of the ocean, unlike of the Arctic that is surrounded by ocean and land, and then as the pole South only the penguins can be affected by the increase of the ice at the North Pole their withdrawal may cause substantial climate change with variations on the action of the jet stream and other parameters with effects of global type.

Great Barrier Reef halved in Australia

In a monitored period 1985 to 2012 the Australian Great Barrier Reef would be halved from about twenty-eight percent to less than fourteen percent primarily due to storms, starfish that feed on coelenterates that build corals and then the climate change with the resultant increase in temperature of the water that does bleaching the coral colonies dying. According to the researchers who study the phenomenon cyclones have hit the reef (thirty-four since 1985) would be more responsible for the damage, in addition, should improve water quality and avoid spilled fertilizers that promote uncontrolled growth of algae which feed on the larvae of the starfish that then erode the corals. In the past it was noted that the increasing acidification of the oceans as well as more water temperatures hindered the symbiosis between corals and algae.

Considerable the discomfort for agriculture, animals and all the sector for the warm and the drought (even at a global level, since in America it seems that cows produce less milk), with inevitable repercussions on the quality and prices of fruits and vegetables placed on the market.

Hot in Italy and in parts of the globe

Heat waves favored by the cyclone of African origin stationed on Italy hold high the mercury with temperatures on the peninsula that according to the weather forecast especially in the Centre-South reach values which may cause a mild discomfort in the population over the next few days, while in the North is hoping for some rainfall in soils that are suffering from prolonged water crisis that in other parts of the country (like Tuscany) is damaging the crops. The situation in the world in general seems pretty hot and was recently monitored a new record of melting ice in Greenland with the ninety-nine percent of the surface melted by the action of unusual warm winds and consequent rise in sea level, an event that occurs approximately every one hundred and fifty years, but researchers fear that it could happen again in the coming years.

Beijing hit by torrential rains

According to weather forecast the city of Beijing could be hit by other rains of torrential types that have recently caused at least thirty-seven casualties and extensive damage in addition to having paralyzed the airport and transport, so some advance the proposed to prepare for time with pump aspirants and other equipment for emergency purposes from the moment that citizens have found themselves unable to move quickly because of rushing streams fed by rains that have reached in some areas (Fangshan district) in measurements even four hundred and sixty millimeters. Shifting the focus on Italy remaining on the field that concerns the weather forecast, it seems that the peninsula will be affected first by a cold descent front coming from Northern Europe and then by an African origin cyclone resulting in time rather unstable.

Peak of heat wave in southern Italy

Expected peak heat of about forty degrees in some areas of southern Italy favored by the particular type of the territory and the African anticyclone but will soon be replaced by the "classic" Azores anticyclone characterized by air currents more bearable for the body both for temperature and moisture. The heat wave would have been even worse in the south of that recorded in 2003 and when is speaks of forty degree temperatures this is real and not perceived ones (they play on other factors), then we must consider that the strong solar radiation favors the formation of unhealthy ozone gas. Of note with regard to the greenhouse effect and climate change that was recently cut the workforce of an advanced research laboratory in New Zealand, and seems to have also reduced the country's efforts to reduce emissions and protect the environment.

Steadily increasing levels of the oceans

The higher temperatures of the seas would spread even in the deep sea, and they end up warmer water to mix in different areas of the oceans causing the melting of polar ice caps and consequent rise in sea levels, a phenomenon that the researchers believe it may slow limiting emissions, but not to stop in his progress in the coming centuries. Between 2005 and 2010 sea levels would rise by about 2.3 millimeters per year and then try to avoid a further increase in global temperatures mean also slow this progression that has significant impact for the people forced to flee their lands (in some cases there may also be a factor related to the movement of tectonic plates). One of the areas on average more susceptible to rising seas, which has a non-uniform pattern, would seem to be located roughly between Norfolk and Boston.

Individual initiatives to safeguard the environment

A minimum progress in ecology with economies more sustainable for the environment is intended to be supported only by individual initiatives since international authorities do not seem willing to reach a deal that will bring about some improvement over previous standards, at least as shows the results obtained from the vertices in Brazil and the subsequent controversy that some have advanced further on issues ranging from sustainable energy, food security and oceans also with regard to pollution and global warming. The really poor nations are often most affected by climate change, do not even have a say, while countries in the so-called "developing" ones that seem more may make the difference in the future for example in the use of fossil fuels.

Climate solutions for a growing population

Lightening the ecological footprint on the planet seems to be a global solution to be adopted by the authorities in international conferences that invite us to focus our attention regarding the environmental impact of consumption adopted by a growing population, since according to some estimates by 2050 there could be between eight and eleven billion people. The "poor" countries in the developing world will need over the course of time the increased use of natural resources, but exploitation of the planet is already at levels valued rather high (without considering the alarming pollution) and then a further increase in consumption may lead to social conflicts and for example in Africa in countries such as Rwanda, where women are forced to have more children than they wish and the same competition for food and resources was identified among the causes of the genocide.

Levels of carbon dioxide very high on the Arctic

The meteorological monitoring stations on the Arctic would have measured very high concentration of carbon dioxide, more than four hundred parts per million, although this amount had already been predicted by calculations performed for some time on percentage of annual increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the same global level of CO2 (at the moment 393 ppm) will soon reach these levels in a few years mainly because of the progressive increase in the consumption of fossil fuels for example to produce electricity and automotive. Part of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is of natural origin and is derived from the decomposition of plants and animals, but before the industrial age CO2 concentration was just 275 ppm, then should consider that this gas remains in the atmosphere for about one hundred years and in part for thousands of years, so should try to limit the emissions.

Pollutants emissions to limit between rich and poor

Being able to reach an agreement to limit emissions in the globe is always rather difficult since while developing countries argue that should contribute more to the cut the industrialized countries that historically have contributed much more than "poor" in increased pollution, conversely point out that rich countries such as China now (despite a recent improvement in production efficiency) has become the most polluting country and India has overtaken Russia in emissions. Global emissions tend to increase and not to decline with a record of over 31.6 gigatons in 2011 with devastating consequences for some areas of the planet more subject to climate change, thus avoiding that the average temperatures and sea levels continue to gradually increase should try to find an agreement.

Italy rocked by earthquakes and bombings

A series of earthquakes, the strongest with a magnitude of 5.9 or maybe 6 in an area located to the north of Bologna, has particularly affected the Emilia-Romagna causing seven victims, several injuries and damages yet to be quantified (in some town centers in the rubble of the collapses have changed the landscape architecture), but was distinctly felt in Veneto, Lombardy and in many other regions while others are still awaiting any response since the energy released in the subsurface has been significant. Another event that has shaken the conscience this time of the attack was caused in Brindisi at the professional school "Morvillo Falcone" against some girls, one of sixteen died, invested by the explosion of gas cylinders placed in a dumpster for the garbage collection and detonated with a timer or a remote control with the objectives and purposes not yet fully understood.

Discussions about a carbon dioxide capture plant

Following the opening of Norway's largest plant to capture and store carbon dioxide in the world there are threads on the usefulness and effectiveness of the project with some emphasizing the possibilities in this way to lower concentrations of CO2 effect in the atmosphere and others who point out that there are risks in case of leakage of gas pumped in large quantities in the caverns beneath the earth. The complex technology used for this process has still wide margins for improvement in efficiency since one of the weaknesses of the system would be the excessive in its energy consumption, and then just the characteristic that has long been trying to cut all the way and same renewable energy by now would become competitive with conventional sources, however for the moment the currently CCS installations (carbon capture and storage) are the only kind of environmental protection.

Due to a cyclone of African origin are provided on Italy in the coming days summer type temperature and then are expected to fall rapidly after a few days due to a new perturbation, and these changes are not very favorable for the crops already stressed by sob periods between drought and frosts followed by heavy rains and heat waves, possibly because of climate changes on the planet. A global average temperatures continue to rise slowly with some areas like the Arctic that sees sea ice erode at rates that were not previously found and in Greenland the situation is not improved; while in North America an unusually warm March may have been caused by the additions of various factors, including the "La Nina" and the increase in concentration of gas in the atmosphere primarily from the use of fossil fuels.

Warning systems for earthquakes and tsunamis

The alert for a potential tsunami which fortunately is then detected with reduced size had been given promptly after a massive earthquake in the seabed of magnitude 8.7 on the Richter scale that hit yesterday, the west coast in northern Sumatra, allowing people to reach positions of safety as opposed to 2004 where, despite the sea on the beach had withdrawn many were swept away by tsunami waves of uncontrollable power, lacking a satisfactory system for detection and reporting. Another area seismically active and prone to strong earthquakes is on the Pacific coast of Mexico to the south and the last recent aftershocks sowed panic among the population of Mexico City that is poured into the street, in addition, the researchers calculated with computer models that present barriers tsunami in Japan are still too low to contain "potential rogue wave" after severe shock.

Pesticide that weaken the bees activity and drought

Insecticides and pesticides can interfere with normal activities of bees and bumblebees, and had been proved that the formula containing neonicotinoid pesticide could weaken the nervous system of insects for pollination, which could no longer find the hive; in addition, researchers have noticed that bees exposed to pesticides would be smaller and the production of queens needed to maintain a stable population of insects would decrease dramatically, in practice as well to verify that these chemical molecules do not kill the bees should check that does not impede their healthy activity. Changing scenario, but always remaining on nature themes to signal that the prolonged drought in many areas in Europe and particularly in Italy will lead to a harvest of lower quality (if not raining) because many plants struggle to grow and reservoirs are often dry. - [19/04] The situation has improved.

A lake of Antarctica as a primitive life environment

A thick layer of ice about three meters would have allowed to the Untersee lake in East Antarctica to preserve microbial structures associated with a primitive environment of life and comparing the low temperatures with those of the Mars planet may have an indication of how life could appear on the "red planet" when water was present, at least according to a researcher from New Zealand country where are looking also for the remains of an ancient geological structure disappeared after an eruption under the lake Rotomahana. In both cases, the particular conditions of life to the microbiological level and the ecosystem may have been preserved by the absence of contamination and the large quiet favored by layers of ice or sediment, such as some algae that form stromatolites by fixing the calcium carbonate and silica present in the water and thus considered to be manufacturers of rocks.

The situation regarding global warming of the globe and the consequent rise of the level of acidic oceans due to increasing amounts of carbon dioxide dissolved in water shows all the effects are obvious (despite the skeptical positions), especially in delicate areas of the planet; but it is also difficult to find stable agreements, with countries such as Poland which apparently are not available to the progressive reduction of pollutant emissions up to eighty percent by 2050 compared to the values monitored in 1990.

Shifting the focus to a type of local and citizen pollution to report even the problem of fine dust in certain Italian cities, in some cases forced to regulate the traffic (to alternate number plates) or hope that atmospheric currents can clean up a little the air while in a few weeks the temperature is increased from near Siberian to far spring values.

Discovered a new small chameleon

In an island of Madagascar not very large (about fifty hectares) and covered with patches of vegetation and forest was found a species of chameleon in small being less than three centimeters long and one of the smallest of the earth with respect to reptiles, in addition, researchers have found significant genetic differences compared to other chameleons which suggests that the evolutionary path of the "new" tiny species discovered is removed from the hitherto known genetic movements millions of years ago. While the habitat of the island is not too favorable to life, at least at first sight, this little chameleon found no predators to threaten the survival and perhaps for this reason hasn't the characteristic of the older cousin to be able to change the color of the skin and lives in land hunting during the day and often hiding under the leaves and then climb at night to sleep on the branches.

The abnormal condition should be part of the range of extreme events due to climate changes and the greenhouse effect that caused modifications in the circulation of currents that usually allow a temperate Mediterranean climate such as in Italy. Despite the cold weather of recent days, the solar activity is almost at its maximum (peak however is expected in 2013) for a cycle of about eleven years, so that the intense glare of the sun seems to make sometimes visible in the world spectacular light phenomena similar to the aurora borealis.

Among the causes of the sinking of a large cruise ship of nearly three hundred meters long appears to have been the risky decision of the captain (arrested for manslaughter and leaving the command post) to get too close to the Island of Giglio in Italy to greet the local population, or according to others perhaps for the collision with the rocks before the ship bows on a side and then settled on a backdrop of rugged type from which emerge several large rocks. Five victims for a total count that could be much more serious since dozens of people missing and still divers are helping some tourists trapped in the cabins, while rise the environmental risk due to the danger of leakage of the fuel contained in the tanks of the ship, equipped with modern depth sounder, radar and computer navigation systems and based on signals from satellites almost completely automated.

An abnormal amount of rainfall, estimated at approximately fifty centimeters in two to three hours would be responsible for the flood that submerged Genoa causing six deaths and considerable damage to the activities invaded by mud and debris carried by the fury of the water that swept cars like toys in the streets turned into raging torrents. According to the meteorologists the cold and humid air of a cloudy front of Atlantic origin has collided with warm air from Africa for cause of the sirocco wind, and this circumstance has led to extreme rain storms almost comparable to "hurricanes" that caused the flooding of rivers and streams that flow in part under the city of Genoa. Some argue that the beds of waterways were littered with debris of vegetation that have come to favor the flood water from the river banks, without consider that the weather emergency is not still end.

The adoption of devices to escape to the trawl nets that fishermen fall into the sea for example in the Gulf of Mexico would allow to save tens of thousands of turtles, although many continue to be trapped with a consequent reduction in the number of nesting on the coasts of Florida (considered one of the main breeding sites). To note that when hatch the eggs in holes dug in the sand, the hatchlings make their way quickly to the sea trying to escape from predators that eat them making carnage.

Fires in Texas fueled by a tropical storm

The strong winds caused by the tropical storm Lee is affecting Louisiana with heavy rain with the risk of flooding and even ends up to fuel the outbreaks of fires that are devastating the Texas that from a few days grappling with one of the most severe droughts recorded once the ground and the fields are dry and burned by high summer temperatures with low humidity rate. There are two victims (mother and daughter) surprises in their caravan from the fires that have destroyed more than three hundred homes and threaten other houses so that the authorities have urged the population to pay attention to the flames that spread quickly and have affected large areas of land quantifiable in about one and a half million hectares. As regard for the "new" Katia hurricane classified as four category, seems to head to the open sea off the coasts and therefore not a concern.

Continue the race weakened of the Irene storm

After hit the American shores with a force much weaker than expected (but causing thirty-eight victims), the tropical storm Irene walks slowly toward the Atlantic coast of Canada and the authorities have urged people to stay indoors, while the controversy on too alarmist scenarios for uncontrollable flooding and historical closures of subways especially in New York alternate with estimates of total damage that would count around seven billion dollars. The difference between hurricane and tropical storm is the wind speed that must exceed one hundred and eighteen kilometers per hour with circular isobars and in the case of Irene's tropical storm the worry was mainly from the massive size of the satellite views and the difficulty of predicting whether the cyclone would resume power powered by water vapor that evaporates from the Atlantic Ocean overheated.

Hot in Italy and migration of animal species

Many Italian cities will still be tight in the "stranglehold" of sultriness and heat of African matrix for a few days or according to some estimates until to the end of August with temperatures felt and even real that come close to forty degrees, in addition, the researchers report in the Globe as animal species are shifting northward due to global warming at a rate much higher than that recorded ten years ago. The changes in the flora and fauna would become visible just by looking at the environment in which we live and not related to hypothetical future so is the speed of movement, for example, about two thousand species of animals tested that they would be migrating at a rate of more than a kilometer and half per year, so that would be enough to compare old photos with recent images to be able to quickly identify small changes that testify of these natural variations.

Emissions of pollutants close to established limits

In recent times, a global economic crisis has led to the reduction of certain industrial activities resulting in lower pollutant emissions, apart from developing countries that would seem less affected by ups and downs of the dynamics of the financial markets and then continue to discharged into the air large amounts of CO2 and other greenhouse pollutants. The reported data for 2010 indicate a total figure of human activities more than thirty billion tons of carbon dioxide, whereas the limit for avoiding long-term increase in global temperature of two degrees was established into about thirty-two billion tons of CO2 each year, an estimated limit that could be reached already this year and this hypothesis leads to a scenarios of global warming rather "aggressive" for the environment and the ecological balance for cause of extreme meteorologic events.

Algae to produce biofuel or food

From the algae is possible with new manufacturing processes to obtain fuel enough environmentally sustainable than fossil fuels, in fact the photosynthesis agree to absorb from the atmosphere CO2 like a lot of what would later be issued after the use on engines of the biofuel, although one should consider that according to some the algae represent the "future" for human food and then returns the kind of choice that has already caused the rise in the price of some foods after the agricultural fields were used for the production of bioethanol. The algae, however, are very productive does not need fertile soil and can be grown even in the desert in tanks of salt water with a fairly complex production processes that over time are becoming always cheaper and more researchers try to select efficient algae with the genetic techniques.

Climate change and social stability

Although the countries responsible for climate change taking place on the planet find hard to find lines of understanding to cope with an environment situation increasingly degraded, now appears quite clear that the risk is not only against nature but also for the same social stability of nations who see themselves threatened structures and institutions that prop them up, so consequently safety and peace among states could be affected by such displacement of large masses of people who are looking for resources to survive. There are several scenarios unbalanced on the environment plan and that of the Somalia with more than three million people starving due to a prolonged drought (and conflicts of religious kind) is only one of the most striking aspects in a global vision which should also consider the changes in nature that sooner or later will also affect also stable countries for the moment.

Heat of African type and sweltering humidity on Italy

The temperatures monitored in Italy in these days are very high and for the forecasts could reach nearly forty degrees above the Center-South, at least those perceived also because of the enough high percentage of humidity in some areas that tends to increase the feeling of discomfort especially in the case of stagnant air and no wind currents which may give an appropriate mixing. In the afternoon hours in urban areas with little presence of green or trees is necessary to consider that ozone gas can form due to an endothermic process promoted by solar radiation and hydrocarbons such as for example on the dark asphalt, and in these cases if there is a smell stinging and irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract is desirable for the elderly and children back home. For to avoid dehydration can be useful in the morning eating fruits rich in liquid and bring always a water bottle.

Vulture trained for research that does not cooperate

Exploiting the potential of a species of vultures to make flying long-range research the German police have trained a nice specimen with large wings with black and white feathers to find human remains, however apparently the majestic bird of prey with the classic head glabrous does not want to work outside the zoo that houses it, and tends to hide in the bush despite the workout of years. Compared to dogs who normally carry out these tasks, especially in research relying with the smell, the vultures would be able to identify a possible prey to over a thousand meters away, flying at high altitude hunting territories thanks to their very sharp eyes and then even in the case of human remains could facilitate the more difficult investigation. Among the most interesting features of the vultures would also have the ability to neutralize the poisons of the carcasses secreting abundant digestive juices.

Ventilators instead of air conditioners in Japan

For to limit the energy consumption of the Japanese population, the authorities have recommended to adopt a series of measures aimed at saving and also planning to distribute the electrical power per hour depending on the needs of production facilities, not to mention that the government must give up elevators and rooms too cooled by air conditioners. Citizens as well as using ventilators and fans should give up the escalators and air conditioning systems in the subway; also need to save on all electrical equipment in order to achieve a cut of about a ten percent of the total energy consumption. As regard the nuclear power plant in Fukushima out of control still struggle to avoid dumping in the sea radioactive water inside the reactors after the suspension of the decontamination system of the radiocaesium used lately.

Volcanic ashes and earthquakes in New Zealand

Two earthquakes between one of 6.0 magnitude on the Richter scale have struck the city of Christchurch in New Zealand that had already been badly damaged by previous shocks but this time the damage appears to be limited to the collapse of two buildings and major inconvenience to the people would result from the block of flights due to the arrival of the ashes of the Puyehue-Cordon-Caulle volcano in Chile that for over a week is projecting the volcanic material to great heights and distances (due to high-altitude winds), in fact also in Australia there would be a block of flights proceeded in fits and starts for example with Argentina rather concerned by the phenomenon. Of note ever changing naturalistic type scenario, in Bangladesh monsoon rains have flooded the country with an unusual force and people are accusing the rich countries to have caused these climate changes.

Discussions about the atomic energy

After Germany's decision to a gradual decommissioning of nuclear installations, some as soon as possible for to not be able to overcome the so-called stress tests, in other countries is starting a discussion about the opportunity to continue to building nuclear power stations and in the meantime in Japan are still problems with the out of control Fukushima plant, in fact, an oil trace would be leaking into the sea from the reactor number five, in which authorities claim was made from some time the "cold shut down", but a few days ago engineers had verified that the cooling pumps had stopped, causing a rise in various temperatures. The verification of the level of radiation absorbed by two technicians involved in safety setting up of the nuclear plant were recorded values over the limit, forcing the authorities to increase the maximum exposure in this case from 100 to 250 milliSieverts for cause of the emergency.

Increase in geological activity

In the world earthquakes and volcanic activity seems to not cease to record to the instruments the geologic activity of the esrth crust also considering the powerful eruption of the Icelandic volcano Grimsvotn that projected initially the ashes up to twenty five kilometers above, and is thus considered the largest eruption for a hundred years in this zone, far more intense than that of another "near" volcano which last year had caused the prolonged blockade of flights, but this time the ashes should be larger and less abrasive for the planes. Meteorologists try to predict the path in the skies of volcanic material pushed by winds that because of the low pressure in the coming days could reach the Europe. Of note also, shifting the focus to another field of type climate sector, that a violent tornado struck the Missouri killing more than one hundred and forty [29/05] people and causing considerable damages.

Earthquakes in southern Spain

Spain is generally considered a fairly stable area of the earth's crust from seismic point of view and usually shocks are small enough to be just registered from the tools, apart from the area in the region of Murcia which is quite active even though they were five hundred years not seen a shock as strong as that of 5.3 magnitude on the Richter scale that hit the 11/05 the city of Lorca causing nine casualties, many wounded and thirty thousands displaced. The surface earthquake at about a one kilometer deep was preceded by a tremor that was clearly felt (magnitude 4.4), but it seems that people did not expect the next shock was felt in Madrid, probably generated by friction in fault line which runs between mainland Europe and Africa. Some old houses of Lorca have collapsed and rescuers are still digging in the rubble to find people remained buried.

Tornadoes cause damages in New Zealand

To Aukland one of the largest city of New Zealand tornadoes of unusual strength of have caused two deaths, numerous injuries and a lot of damage, leaving a trail of destructive trace as they pass of about five kilometers with roofs scraps of the houses roofless, damaged cars and debris scattered on the ravaged streets while rescuers are still looking for people caught by the debris. In New Zealand it is not unusual that there are strong tornado, but are generally less destructive and many claim that this type of weather phenomena are intensifying and are caused by changes in climate on the planet since the Earth's warming temperature changes the exchanges of air with effects on winds and on the general circulation of the atmosphere, in addition, emissions of greenhouse gases (that for example in China have reached new heights pollutants) affect the natural balance of the currents.

The environment is suffering due to severe accidents (as currently happen in Japan) and climate change which have significant socio-economic consequences and impede the orderly development because of lower income and livelihood, especially for poor areas with high population density, while industrialized countries appear to have significantly decreased their emissions.

Searching for other obsolete plants as Fukushima

After the disaster happened in Fukushima some are wondering if there are no other nuclear power plants in the world just as obsolete as the Japanese one, considering the same dangerous conditions with the possibility of potential earthquakes, tsunamis or other adverse conditions that may promote accidents that end up to cause lasting harm to the environment and to all the ecosystem. The same unit of a nuclear installation will wear pretty quickly (including concrete structures) compared to other conditions of use and old plants were not designed for easy replacement of worn or damaged parts, then it seems that to Fukushima secondary emergency devices have entered into damage to cause of the tsunami, while modern designs include automated systems with for example water tanks placed directly above the reactors.

Settling earthquake in Japan

The strong aftershock with a magnitude between 7.1 and 7.4 on the Richter scale that hit the northeastern part of Japan would have caused four victims, a hundred injured and a loss of water from the nuclear power plant in Onagawa, but apparently without endangering regarding the increase of nuclear radiation outside the plant. The technicians who worked to secure the damaged central of Fukushima (that also look at whether to build a cooling system external to the reactors) have temporarily suspended work due to tsunami alarm, then returned, since the earthquake was found in the sea at a depth of fifty kilometers off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture. European geologists have reported that even in the Mediterranean would have to install an automatic system alarm in the event of a tsunami for areas considered rather seismic.

Many of the victims of the violent earthquake and subsequent tsunami that rocked Japan have yet to be recovered and teams of soldiers are going to search for the missing, but apparently excluding the area is contaminated by the accident at the nuclear power plant that still worried about the difficulty to put it into security, since the bodies have absorbed large doses of radiation and may not even be cremated. Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause changes in the equilibrium state of the crust, then according to geophysicists should monitor the possible Japanese volcanic activity even though the may not necessarily be a direct relationship. In the meantime it seems that the Japanese government will take control of the situation, while some talk of increasing the size of the evacuation from the nuclear power plant severely damaged.

No hazardous radioactive cloud passes over Italy

According to some instrumental measurements the radioactive cloud formed as a result of contaminated vapors leaked from the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant (came into operation in 1971) would also move to Italy, but apparently highly diluted and therefore not dangerous to health and even it comes to air currents with a difficult to measure radioactivity, although the situation in Japan still worries and workers (some hospitalized for controls) have not yet succeeded in securing all the nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, for many stations around the globe are expected of so-called "stress test" to check the safety measures, operations that in case of the atomic energy can be risky and even to Chernobyl (came into operation in 1977) the accident officially occurred in 1986 for a simulation of a power failure resulting in increased pressure and explosion of the reactor.

To protect the environment and the population from radiation raises the possibility of burying nuclear plant in Fukushima Daiichi in a concrete sarcophagus as at Chernobyl since the casings seem damaged at least two reactors, one fed with special "MOX with plutonium" bar highly radioactive and with decay time of thousands of years. In the meantime, continues to struggle against the nuclear power plant out of control trying to restore electricity to cool the reactors and to this end has been set up a dedicated power line after previous attempts were hampered by strong radiation, that the same Japanese authorities have declared harmful for the health (and that can cause cancer in the coming years to those exposed), while in the meantime the death toll from the tsunami officially rose to over six thousand five hundred individuals.

Yet we can not exclude the danger of possible merger in the two reactors with cooling system broke, while doing the temporary account of victims (officially thousand and six hundred, estimated over ten thousand) of earthquake or more properly the sea-quake an then the tsunami that wiped out entire communities of individuals.

Increase greenhouse gases such as nitrogen oxide

The intensive use of fertilizers that enrich the soil of nitrogen as well as some crops lead to the formation of nitrous oxide that if it reaches the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas, present in small amounts but charge according to a study of a six percent global warming and also able to degrade the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The research was carried out on the process of denitrification of nitrogen, which eventually produces the gas that supports life on Earth by bacteria, and as a result of various chemical reactions also produce nitrogen oxide (which may end up in rivers and water) and would have increased by twenty percent due to human activities. To reduce this greenhouse gas should decrease the use of fertilizers or other sources of nitrogen that can cause this overheating effect that can be potentially rather dangerous for the ambience.

In Europe, air traffic has been blocked in many cases due to the closure of major airports, according to meteorologists and the situation remains difficult due to the arrival of more cold fronts that have already seen in the northwest of Switzerland a temperature of -31 degrees Celsius and in general need to do attention to the formation of ice sheets both in terms of road traffic and for the pedestrians on the sidewalks.

A further cut of the polluting emissions

To try to limit the global warming due mainly to the greenhouse effect to two degrees higher it was estimated that it was necessary to reach about forty-nine gigatons of carbon dioxide worldwide emissions by 2020, but new studies have shown that this proportion is still too high of five gigatons for reaching the result. The industrialized countries and those "developing" should reach an agreement to prevent emissions from reaching a dimension of about fifty-six gigatons of CO2 emissions, which in addition to causing global warming climate with little positive effect, causing acidification of the seas and naturalistic changes to the detriment of biodiversity, without considering the impact on forests and then the lungs of the planet (to be protected with aid to compensate poorer nations who have no other resources) also threatened by deforestation without criterion.

Natural emergencies or environmental

Recent surveys the Lake Chad tends to dry up and is losing the valuable flora and fauna that characterizes it, considering it was estimated full of fish and well furnished from the naturalistic point of view for both the rich flora and vegetation of reeds in the delta of the river is also the only tributary Chari, both to wildlife made for example by hippos, crocodiles and other "wild" species. The area of the lake located between Niger, Chad, Cameroon and Nigeria is populated by about thirty million people might have used too much in the area due to fishing and farming, and then large-scale plantations favored by very fertile ground. With regard to environmental emergencies, the authorities said that without an exemption from the collection of waste managed by the individual provinces in autonomous mode in Italy, there is the risk to aggravate a situation to Naples now potentially resolving, making it of difficult to manage.

Still active the Merapi volcano in Indonesia

Continuous eruptive activity of the Merapi volcano on the island of Java in Indonesia after a pause of about one week after the first huge eruption that forced the evacuation of more than thirteen thousand people in an area with a radius of sixteen kilometers around the crater and caused thirteen victims, many wounded and burned and now bringing the total balance to over one hundred and fifty victims [08/11]. Violent eruptions of lava and lapilli with ash falling over long distances has led authorities to the decision to expand the evacuation area twenty kilometers from the volcano and many people injured and burned by the hot clouds were taken to a nearby hospital in the city of Yogyakarta. An estimated five thousand people living near the volcano, which had already begun to operate in 2006 killing two people and is located in a highly seismic area so that geologists fear for others strong eruptions in coming days.

Plants that clean the soil by heavy metals

The highly industrialized countries produce a large amount of waste discharged into the processes that usually land fenced make them unsuitable for the presence of heavy metals and toxins, but researchers have identified a particular plant belonging to the family of sugar cane can clean up the ground, and then can be used once fermented for energy purposes because of their high sugar content. One of the most sensitive areas for the ecosystem and its disposal in industrial countries with a galloping economy is also a problem in terms of pollution of aquifers layers and the whole food chain with consequences for the health of populations (representing humanitarian and socio-economic issues also not negligible), moreover are also very high costs for the various land reclamation that can actually restore an effective environmental quality.

Global warming is damaging the Arctic

The amount of snow that accumulates on the Arctic during the winter season is gradually declining due to abnormal temperature caused by global warming, and once the surface layer has melted is find a deeper section of ice and a little darker that tends to attract a greater amount of sunlight that melt, with a sort of mechanism of thermic type that feeds itself, the ice (which has reached a new record low as a total extension). Climatic variations in air temperature on the Arctic produced a rather unexpected phenomena, for an area where cold air usually stationed almost immobile, as strong winds and even snow storms for cause of the ice melting; in addition the population living in areas affected by climate change is forced to deal with various difficult situations.

Hydraulic simulation models to help Pakistan

To try to help the Pakistan population after the recent monsoon flooding has changed in essence, the hydrographic map of the country, researchers have developed a computer program with hydraulic models that simulate various situations include how long must wait before the water drains from flooded areas. This kind of prediction makes use of a large number of data both from the "historical" standpoint or with satellite views and visually shows the possible scenarios calculated by the software that may be useful also in others emergency situations. As regard the climatic changes taking place on the globe it seems that global warming is not much affected by the cycles of solar activity and instead a role could be attributed to the population growth, of urban and industrial type, in developing countries with resulting in higher polluting emissions.

Small farms best suited to feed the planet

Global climate change that cause imbalances in water supply with large areas affected by marked drought with lack of precipitation for months have resulted in a rethinking of what researchers have been the agricultural developing of the world with large-scale farms, and now to feed the planet they tends to focus on smaller model farms. This account was obtained by studying both the cases of malnutrition is less visible of "silent hunger" by lack of vitamins and minerals that cause slower physical and mental development and generally greater susceptibility to disease (a condition increasingly common and difficult to monitor). The changes to the agricultural system should aim at sustainable development for a truly suffering ambience as demonstrated by the cases of areas burned by fires in Russia or flooded by monsoons and torrential rains in Pakistan.

Help from natural pesticide for plants

If a tobacco plant is eaten by caterpillars to the point of threatening the survival should emit chemical signals to attract predatory insects that can eat the pests, and according to the researchers, this mechanism would be caused by a chemical reaction of the saliva of caterpillars that change type perfume quite common to cut grass. Scientists have also tried to use these fragrant compounds to simulate such as pesticide effect against both on caterpillars and parasite eggs, which issued on leaves experiencing a significant percentage difference in results when is used the chemical mixture caused by the saliva of maggots. Be noted that previous studies had shown that plants emit chemical signals to protect the neighbors "plants daughters" of the same species in order to defend themselves and prepare to attack from predators (with an exchange of chemical messages).

Nature urbanized

The human population is growing rapidly and it is estimated that by 2050 there will be approximately three billion other people on the planet, with a prevalence of large urbanized settlements that will be constructed at the expense of agricultural land and natural sites, with the inevitable loss of fauna and flora that allow a healthy balance. Another parameter to consider is the "environmental footprint" that in the case of urbanized individuals can be in some cases ten times higher than for example the Africans and other peoples can live in balance with the resources that nature makes available to them (and without polluting). Among the more robbed resources by man we must not forget those of the sea and many initiatives are too recent to try to protect marine species caught at rates higher than those that allow a suitable replacement.

Earthquakes are natural phenomena and indeed would be anomalous situations of too long prolonged stasis, from the moment that the ocean floor tends to slip on unstable plaque and this causes the phenomenon of continental drift from the primitive Pangea, and also the disastrous earthquake that struck the Haiti's island apparently had been provided by researchers at a conference in March of 2008 (of course it was not possible to calculate the exact day of the event), without consider the global warming with changes in sea level and subsequent erosive action. The man often builds real house of cards in seismic areas that require the use of appropriate techniques to secure the houses, in addition all the structures should be designed in line with any disastrous events for not having witnessed acts of looting and inability to be able to provide a minimum relief.

Bacteria that convert CO2 into methane

A process that occurs naturally in the subsoil due to bacteria that transform carbon dioxide into methane over billions of years could be used in an experimental project developed by Japanese scientists who plan to capture the CO2 with special installations underground and turn it into methane in about one hundred years by accelerating the action of bacteria that normally carry out this action. In the past, were already running other technologies to convert carbon dioxide into calcite or gas useful for manufacturing processes, moreover there are already plants for capturing and storing CO2 underground (according to some hazardous in case of earthquakes for leaks not controlled), large pools with algae selected and ample land on which were has been used very special plants that transform carbon dioxide into oxygen as happen for the forests.

Difficulties travels and ice

The wave of freezing cold and snow that hit many countries and in some cases paralyzed road traffic, rails and airplanes has caused many deaths (over ninety) due to frostbite and a great number of accidents and slip, some are unlucky and got stuck without being able to travel over the hardships they face the risk of not having reimbursed a costly ticket. Broken power lines, roads closed and unfavorable climatic conditions significantly raise the level of stress by losing lucidity and balance to the nervous apparatus, but breathing deeply and slowly is possible can remain calm. As regards the phenomenon of intense cold in the hottest years on average, it is likely that it is always connected to the global warming trend that tends to cause hot summers and cold winters, braking patterns that mitigate the temperatures.

Climate tensions in Copenhagen

Is a summit in Copenhagen that is presented fairly problematic, with exchanges of accusations between rich and poor countries and resulting boycotts such African countries who argue that besides the lack of aid earmarked try not to accomplish the goals specified in the Kyoto protocol, then there is also the problem of large countries in "developing" countries that pollute a lot but do not want to cut greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial nations pollute proportionately much larger extent. There are also signs of relaxation and moments in which the negotiations proceed smoothly.. (missing only some scientific data apparently exaggerated provided by individuals who apparently do not love the environment), but overall it was clear to everyone the need to intervene to prevent the next years really serious and real damage to the planet.

Increasing energy demand

Industrialized countries consume each day a really high amount of fossil resources, which also cause the emission of pollutants that are degrading the environment, and predictions made by assuming a stable industrial growth is estimated for 2030 a consumption of about one hundred and thirty million barrels per day with consequent risk of easily exploitable oil reserves are depleted (data that not all share), and there may be a significant increase in the price per barrel, for example we assume approximately 175 dollars in 2016 with an increasing use of oil also produced with expensive and polluting procedures from bitumen. To try to save on consumption of fossil resources might be useful to recycle all the goods that feed significantly the production chain based on oil and choosing local products such as those to low emission of CO2 and other pollutants.

Mild autumn and showers

This advanced Autumn offers still very mild days, a meteorological phenomenon known as the Summer of St. Martin in the popular tradition should last a few days (three) but this time seems to be prolonged beyond measure, and in some areas of Italy are being recorded temperatures significantly above the average, with considerable savings in general for domestic heating although from a naturalistic point of view this "anomalous heat" would be ill-suited to prepare the plants for the winter and water resources. Of note also that a heavy rainstorm hit the town of Cockermouth in Cumbria, a region in northwest of England and about two hundred people has been evacuated via helicopter, in addition the center of the city was flooded and a woman appears to have been overwhelmed by the water of a river while the authorities seek to monitor the level of the bridges and the others unstable rivers.

Some meteorologists say that the cause of the devastation that caused flooding and severe damage to bridges and roads is not only attributable to Hurricane Ida, but also to a low pressure system parked over the Pacific and the resulting moisture caused by the passage of more storm. Of note also the persistent rain that affected the Campania region in Italy for days and caused (mainly for neglect) on the island of Ischia to Casamicciola a mudslide that killed a girl.

Kilimanjaro de-icing

By comparing photographs taken in 1912 and 1953 with more recent satellite images, the researchers calculated that in 2007 approximately the 85 percent of the snow and glaciers that cover the summit of Kilimanjaro has melted and also the remaining part at these rhythms not will last much since the average temperatures in the troposphere have increased and in one period from 2000 to 2007 the ice cover has shrunk by nearly two meters in the northern areas and more than five in the southern, and variations of the same type were measured other high mountains in Africa (Rwenzori, Kenya) and also in the glaciers of the Himalayas and South America. Little seems to have been done to mitigate the effects of climate change and global warming is supported largely by the use of fossil fuels, and saving initiatives and sustainable technologies sluggish to take-off.

Medium-large size pets pollutants

A medium-sized dog seems to consume annually about 95 kg of cereals and well 164 of meat, estimating that generally in the industrial packaging of food is dehydrated, so having a pet means to pollute a lot and if it is large cuts may be necessary to exploit the resources of over one hectare of land to derive the amount of food necessary for these "lovely companion" of the man (considering also energy, water, fertilizer, pesticides, transportation, marketing..). As far as a resource rather indirectly linked to the whole production chain, such as oil, some argue that with the present rhythms of development may need to continually find new reserves to support the growing demand, since it is not clear for how many years the reserves easily exploitable of oil in the subsoil can last.

Argentina quite desertified

The forests in Argentina have been reduced by one hundred million hectares in 1900 to about 33 of today, so in just over one hundred years 60 - 70% of the natural heritage has been cleared to make way for soy and mainly to obtain in this way flour, oil, seeds.. to be exported across the globe at an increasing pace, especially in the last ten years. The authorities after an appeal from the indigenous people have given notice to stop the devastation that seems to have touched in 2007 alone a rate higher than the two percent of reduction of the forests, with all the consequences related to the environmental degradation that influences on the life of millions of people. The phenomenon of desertification affects almost the entire globe with areas particularly hard hit, and international organizations have estimated that over one billion people worldwide suffer from malnutrition, the data found is the worst in average since 1970.

Warm unstable climate

The increase in sea temperature in the globe has probably intensified the violence of natural phenomena with sometimes tragic consequences for populations that are rarely prepared to face changes in a rather unstable climate and forced to seek help to survive, and is calculated in the future if can not curb the effects of global warming that could significantly increase the aid spending without considering the precarious health conditions in some cases. Another danger that comes from an increase in average temperatures that causes the melting of glaciers, is that in the air are releasing hazardous chemicals used in industrial production (eg 1970s) trapped in the ice for decades after being transported to large distances by winds and clouds with the risk that might threaten the life of plant and animal organisms and biological cycles of nature.

A planet vulnerable to the climate change

The earth's crust in some areas could suffer for the erosive action of weather and changes in sea levels due to climate change with the result that could be intensify phenomena such as landslides, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes where the crust and the underlying tectonic plate remains unfilled and the magma can flow easily to the surface. It seems that changes in precipitation may change the stability of volcanoes because of the water that may alter the stability of rocks and thus cause eruptions of magma. Another reported problem again because of climate change is linked to the health status of populations experienced by poor harvests and a set of factors that significantly worsen the well-being of billions of people, which implies the need for curbing as much possible the pollution emissions.

Heat wave in Europe and in proportion in the Arctic

On average is a very hot summer in Europe and especially in Italy, particularly in the south where some areas have been subject to waves of heat that has stumped even the animals, but it is summer in the Arctic among the hottest ever recorded with an average increase of about 2.5 degrees and also the surrounding sea are becoming more acidic from the moment that absorb large amounts of greenhouse gases thereby seriously harming aquatic life. The ice of the Arctic appears to have been reduced by about 57 percent in the period between 2004 and 2008, also by monitoring data that are derived from analysis of ancient sediments has noticed how the greenhouse effect caused by human activities has altered the climate of the Arctic that for a couple of thousand years ago was subject to a phenomenon of cooling before reversing this trend dramatically in the last century.

The sea temperature is rising around the world and that of the oceans in the month of July seems to have been the warmest ever recorded since such data are monitored (130 years ago) and the month of August should exceed this record with tangible consequences with the overall balance since such increased about four times the rate of melting of Arctic ice, a phenomenon linked to rising sea levels which continues to grow slowly. Even the Mediterranean Sea seems to be pretty hot and in some areas there have been blooms of toxic algae (Ostreopsis Ovata near Ancona in significant concentrations), but also the rivers in Italy are affected by the prolonged heat marked by many days with temperatures above the average who end up having repercussions on the delicate balances that normally regulate the natural climate rhythms.

Ozone (a term that derives from the greek ozein - to send smell) is a allotropic oxygen gas from the pungent perfume that is formed at high temperatures often in the summer for an endothermic process, and is irritating for the mucous membranes and respiratory system, so it is especially appropriate for older people avoid leaving during the hottest hours of the day (in areas with not tree). To note is that the temperatures seen in these days of great heat may be higher than actual because of the humidity, and over the peaks of heat (also 46 degrees) the inconvenience caused by the humidity be really sensitive especially in the south Italy.

Reduce the emissions of the eighty percent by 2050 compared to 1990 levels is one of the objectives that the major industrialized countries seek to achieve and this goal has been reached thanks to a joint statement which also covers the development of technologies with low environmental impact, but China and India have not joined this initiative because of the lack of suitable intermediate limits to economies less responsible for climate change (once considered developing). The targets seem ambitious considering that large countries have not joined the Kyoto Protocol and also in cases where the commitment was more the results has been far respect the expectations, with overheated metropolis due to a mechanism that is self fueling, rising global temperatures and climate changes that end up causing mutations in the DNA of the mammals.

Two centigrade degrees of global warming

Almost certainly, according to calculations by scientists hypothesized on Climate Change, will be exceeded two degrees of global warming on the planet, at least compared to the temperatures detected before the industrial age, and to prevent that this happen, developed countries should limit the emissions up to 80 percent by 2020 (compared to the levels measured in 1990), and the developing countries to about 40 percent lower by 2050. Achieving these goals is important to avoid the extreme weather phenomena exacerbate already growing steadily, as well as limiting emissions so that the concentration of carbon dioxide does not exceed 450 ppm (parts per million.. increased from approximately 280 to 385 ppm in just over two centuries) mean to avoid substantial changes to the climate of the planet including the excessive rise in sea levels and resulting economic fallout.

A large area of about 2,500 square kilometers covered by mangrove forests are threatened by the fire at times encouraged by high temperatures, which could also play a role in recombination of the viral component responsible aggressiveness of the viruses and diseases.

A strong earthquake shock of magnitude 6.3 on the Richter scale struck the city of Aquila in Italy and all of the Abruzzo region causing hundreds of victims and damage (with data yet to be verified in their seriousness), but the fact that some buildings are been completely razed to the ground probably means that there has been no anti-seismic intervention to prevent a natural phenomenon characteristic of the earth and also the sequence before the strong seismic shock appears to have been somewhat underestimated. With respect to phenomena such as that of the greenhouse effect caused by the men, scientists have warned that in about 30 years' s the 80% of the Arctic ice threatens to dissolve (the previous forecast was 90 years), and also during the winter in the Southern hemisphere with "low" temperatures (but on average 2.5° higher), the ice continued to melt probably for cause of warm underwater currents that cause the detachment of huge blocks.

Like the rest of the world even in China for the global warming effect of the size of glaciers are rapidly decreasing, and for the moment the general population would not have suffered hardships due to water scarcity since it increased the average flow of water dissolved and there is also the tendency to increase of the rainfall, but considering the future with "smaller" glaciers the situation may change and we must also take account of the strong evaporation in the summer perhaps using groundwater stocks.

Tropical forests absorb more emissions

With a project of take of the emissions during several years has been found that the tropical forests, especially in the African area, absorb a greater amount of pollutant emissions resulting from the exploitation of fossil fuels, probably for cause of the increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the air that promotes plant growth almost with a "fertilizer effect", and therefore a greater volume of the plant corresponds to a greater uptake (also of the 20%). Previously had been detected for the Amazon forest an average of about 620 kg of CO2 per hectare, quantifiable in about 5 billion metric tons per year for the entire planet.. also be reported agreements between America and Indonesia to protect forests, while China seems determined to reduce polluting emissions and international organizations proposing food production less polluting and less wasteful.

Biofuels derived from the wood

In the gut of a small crustacean that eats the wood would be an enzyme useful to produce a new type of biofuel, which in practice comes from the fermentation of cellulose that this shrimp is able to degrade for example chewing willow or straw and then transform into butanol and ethanol. One of the greatest problems of the previous generation of biofuels, which were mainly derived from starches and sugars found in cereal crops was to steal food for human food, but thanks to the new type of enzyme will get about 19 grams of ethanol from 100 grams of straw without having to starve the people so as to achieve a 10% on average of "clean" fuel and possibly using unutilized lands for new crops to be transformed.

New deep sea animals

Driving to distance a small robotic submarine in the deep of Australian sea in a slit of about 2000 meters and placed at four thousand meters deep on the south coast of the island of Tasmania, scientists have discovered new marine animals rather unusual shaped somewhat as a very large carnivorous plants or with long tentacles, and big sponges, moreover the sediment analyzed in depth looks really distinctive, fine and bright as snow, rich in ancient fossils (more than ten thousand years). Rather less comforting news on the health of the great barrier reef, which stretches to the east of Australia damaged from the high acidity of the water caused by the global warming provoked by man, and changing the type of natural horizon scientists point out that indiscriminate hunting led to a reduction of about 20% of the size of the species.

Farms instead of the Amazon rainforest

Brazil appears to be increasing the rate of deforestation of the Amazon forest to make space for new livestock farms to satisfy the increasing demand of beef for human consumption in the international markets, and to meet this unhealthy food habits are lost every year about ten thousand square kilometers of forest (the so-called green lungs of the planet) to make room for farms, pastures, vast herds of livestock, without considering that burning the trees or their decomposition release notable quantity of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. To consider also the imbalance for the entire ecosystem, already severely tested by decades of uncontrolled exploitation and the consequences on the nature of these insane human acts could be unpredictable, and some speculate that the same climatic variations in extreme way depend in proportion also by the deforestation.

Cement that absorbs CO2 and natural climate

The production of cement in the world produces much carbon dioxide accounts for about 5% of global emissions each year and is estimated that in future the demand for new construction could increase much, but in England was developing a new formula for cement that exploits the properties of magnesium silicate to absorb CO2 and requires for the production less amount of heat (note however, that it seems the only English public buildings are responsible for CO2 pollution that exceeds that of an entire country like the Kenya). As regards the natural climate balance that allows to preserve the biodiversity, it would seem that global warming valued in a comprehensive manner, may have some influence on the sex of some reptiles and fish from the moment that a higher temperature on average determine males in a greater proportion with consequent environmental imbalances.

Bizarre climate and snow even too much

All the Alps in Italy are covered with snow in quantities almost exceptional in some areas where the snow exceeds two meters or at least should return with the memory back of decades to be able to compare an event of similar scope, and lowering the temperatures should be form a good bottom, but given the avalanche danger seems some ski tracks will remain temporarily closed and some worry also comes from the mass accumulated snow on roofs due to rain that has burdened. The average percentage of rainfall in the month is increased or concentrated in a few days (with negative consequences on agriculture, damage to structures..) "bizarre" phenomenon likely to be linked to the climate change, in fact 2008 is the hottest year of the new millennium, and despite the approval of the new climate package some scientist argues that it would take a further cut in emissions to achieve a real benefit.

Houses to low environmental impact

Through new systems design of the houses is possible to save a lot of the energy normally used and adopting a lifestyle particularly sober in the consumption with some small sacrifice can avoid wasting resources essential to the environment such as water, for example through a hydraulics project that while there is a shower or wash us your teeth.. recover water from the drains and purified for other uses or allow its reuse. As far as the energy used for heating and air conditioning in addition to the insulation in buildings for a flat savings, can be used the roof as garden designing it with unique integrated water systems or are studying new types of organic photovoltaic panels more efficient and that do not use chemical pollutants, but also simple areas in white or reflective roofs can help to safeguard the environment selectively reflecting the sunlight.

To reduce all the greenhouse gases

Considering the capacity to retain warmth of some greenhouse gases, scientists have calculated that methane has in proportion twenty times more environmental impact of carbon dioxide even if this is monitored more closely for cause of its massive presence in the atmosphere, but should also take into account the "bubbles of methane" trapped in Arctic ice that with the melting of ice issuing gas in increasing quantities. The plans for industrial development provide drastic cut emissions of polluting greenhouse gases for ships, aircraft and all businesses which together account for approximately 30% of the global polluting through interventions and optimization of consumption of fossil fuels improving the efficiency of the engines.. for example in the aircraft with special designs that studying the flow of air at high speed is possible to save a lot of fuel.

Climate plans and greenhouse warming diseases

While the targets on reducing emissions of pollutants are becoming more consistent with proposals that would tend to increase from 20% to 30% by 2020, the downturn in economic terms with the people concerned about the related issues could frustrate efforts to improve the overall environmental condition with up effective long-term (up to a decrease of an 80% of CO2 by 2050). As regards the health of the globe, it appears that warming linked to the greenhouse effect could result in the adaptation of insects typical of some hot zones on the planet with the consequent danger of the spread of certain diseases characteristics of wild animals (zoonoses for example widespread in Africa) and also the health of the seas is put at risk by reducing the natural mechanism of mixing water thanks to the phytoplankton action.

Solar energy for the environmental protection

In certain parts of the Africa country the population still uses energy produced burning wood with consequent environmental damage both for the release of pollutants, and for the cutting of trees that can capture and convert the CO2 into oxygen, but in substitution of these methods decidedly aggressive energy seems that is growing quickly even the use of photovoltaic and solar panels, thermal water heater, solar cookers.. in a land that can provide approximately from 5 to 7 KWh per square meter, which used to power solar steam could provide energy for an entire city. Climate change caused also by misuse of the energy resources cause environmental damage that may require expensive works for example to protect the coastlines of some countries from the erosion caused by the force of the waves, which exploited with special hydraulic systems can be transformed into energy.

Ambience to rebalancing

Some studies show as the natural cycles of the environment in any way upset by climate change taking place on the planet should be rebalanced to more natural rhythms, so that precious ecosystems are seriously damaged (for example, as trees of various species in areas of the globe affected by significant changes in the average temperatures), not counting some new phenomena found which appears to hinder the chemical reactions that allow the global balance, like a virus that affects the prokaryotes algae allowing the oceans to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide. Another round of rebalancing would be the nitrogen (essential for the life) and reactive nitrogen in particular that if one part may be useful in agriculture and many industrial production for the other hand damage all the ecosystem, from the oceans , to the coasts, lakes and rivers.. besides cause more smog and greenhouse gases in the air.

It would open a new large crack in the ice in northern Greenland by about eleven kilometers in length and width of almost one in an area that previously seemed not yet affected by large cracks, which consequently leads to the rise in sea level already evidenced by surveys carried out in the past (although the forecast on the phenomenon of global warming often not correspond to the data supposed). One of the areas of the world most affected by the rapid melting of the glaciers would be that of the Himalaya at a rate quantifiable in about seventy meters per year of retreat that might cause problems for water supply linked to survival for a population of 1.3 billion people, also affected by changing rainfall linked to climate change (with consequences also for the average temperatures recorded).

Torrential rain and showers for example, could be more violent than expected and was noted a correlation between rising temperatures and rain intensity, moreover seems that the models calculated by climatologists usually esteem for defect the damage that then occur on the territory.

Corals suffocated by carbon dioxide

The marine environment equilibrium which allows the symbiosis between algae and corals would seem threatened by excessive concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for the phenomenon of acidification of the oceans from the moment that the seas capture part of the CO2 pollution; moreover, the warmer water temperature appears to require the coelenterates building coral reefs (through polyps) to expel the algae that live together giving the characteristic colouring, then tend slowly bleaching and dying. Some scientists suggest that one third of the barrier reef of the globe is also in danger due to other factors such as pollution, overfishing and drag fishing or with the use of dynamite, the works of digging deep to retrieve building materials.. and must be take environmental protection measures for all the ecosystems of considerable importance, but it seems the "powerful of the earth" have not yet managed to reach a tangible agreement in this area.

Plants and animals attacked by insects and fungi

Climate change taking place on the planet is causing the imbalance in that harmony between the organisms that allows survival in the proper relationship with the environment; in fact, some trees of different species are attacked by insects (often from other ecosystems) that devour making them dry, or the case that many species of frogs in the globe suffer an attack of a fungus that is literally decimating. It seems that the mechanism by which the nice amphibians could defend themselves against this "killer" fungus was to raise the temperature of the skin for short periods of time in order to rid of the host with which normally live and was noted for example that is possible help the frogs using a bacterium on their skin that somehow protects them. Needless to say that in reality a series of factors that cause environmental degradation, from the higher temperature and the pollutants to the viral diseases and the indiscriminate hunting.. a threatened balance.

Growing solar photovoltaic

Some argued that the photovoltaic systems that use sunlight for electricity were too expensive and polluting in phase of production in order to be really useful for protecting the environment, but the new scenarios with oil prices and electricity always more expensive could make advantageous these solutions, as well as in the coming years is assumed a further cut costs by about 30% despite the increase in the price of the silicon with which the panels are produced. The advancement of the technology that converts the solar energy has enabled continuous improvement since the far 1839 A. Becquerel invented the photovoltaic battery (cylinder glass shape) and now generally use two wide layers of semiconductor as electrodes separated by a thin film of a semiconductor to create a potential difference that in varying degrees from the intensity of the sun rays produces a small amount of electricity.

Reduce considerably the CO2

Some Norwegian scientists say that is possible to reduce by 2050 even of the 85% the emissions of gases that cause the greenhouse effect through biomass plants and exploiting the chlorophyll photosynthesis of the algae, "by injecting underground" of CO2 and changing the lifestyle promoting products that contribute to safeguarding the environment (by taxing others), all in an organized on a large scale in order to remedy the changes that upset the ecosystem. Preserving forests is another important step in the overall balance of nature, but in this field seems that in the Amazon have been cut or burnt the plants in an area of 1132 square kilometers of rainforest in Brazil (measured by satellite to April), thus increasing the quota of deforestation from the moment that has increased the demand for agricultural land and for wood market; moreover, on another front in Borneo many trees were cut without criterion.

The first installations for the use of biomass are beginning to be installed and used with great economic and naturalistic benefits, for example is possible in small local rural places to use a sort of a large bathtub in which to store all the materials resulting from the cleaning of gardens, trees, hedges, vines united then to grass, dead wood.. to obtain a fuel useful for all purposes without exploiting energy resources and fossils at the same time safeguarding the ambience. There are also large installations that use this type of technology or others that will soon be achieved as it seems is happening in England thanks to a biomass central that will use dead wood, material resulting from the processing of sunflowers and other plants.. allowing to reduce emissions of CO2 of several million tonnes and in this way will it be possible by 2012 achieve a reduction of approximately 15% on the amount of carbon dioxide produced for energy purposes.

Hot - cold climate

While some scientists argue that global temperatures are destined to grow, others suggest that there may be a period of moderate cooling caused by the slowing of the Gulf Current that mitigates the climate especially in Northern Europe and America thanks to a flow of hot water from the tropical zone of the Atlantic Ocean to the north and then continues in a ring returning cold water which helps to stabilize all the temperatures. The climate generally remained constant from a sort of natural thermostat on the planet, but with the greenhouse effect has been given an imbalance that has shocked the basic parameters that have characterized the history of the evolution for millions of years, so that now the industrial age is called Anthropocene (or anthropogenic - in the sense that the changes are caused by the man) which was passed by a CO2 concentration in the atmosphere of 20 ppm to 100 ppm (parts for million.. and also much grater) with significant impact on the survival conditions of many species of animals and plants, without considering the health of the oceans and of the seas.

Thermal excursion and avalanches

In mountain the phenomenon connected to the strong thermal excursion provoked from the phòn a warm alpine wind (from which it takes to the name also the electrical hair dryer), could cause to snowslides and avalanches for the dissolution of the snow in the layers that concur with the snowy mantle to remain stable on the land. Generally the wind is caused from a difference of pressure (said also "gradient") provoked from the jolt of temperature between air layers that surpass contiguous regions, the warm air stretches to go up generating a movement of horizontal air masses that take the place of those warmth; but in the case of the Phòn, the temperatures also are influenced from those on the slopes of the Alps and from the currents that come from the outside of the mountainous chains, therefore the joined thermal jolt to the warm wind can carry the temperatures to nearly summery levels, as it seems is happened to Sappada (with a record of 22° never took before in this period and some damages to the structures).

Beyond to the deforestation that threatens many valuable zones from the naturalistic point of view of the planet and contributes to form the so-called "lungs" greens of the earth, now to how much seems is joining the danger of the loss of hundred of medicinal plants; in fact, a percentage advanced to 50% of medicines normally used to therapeutic scope derive from chemically active principles initially characterizes in the plants and also as far as new pathologies is risked the extinction of vegetables variety that could potentially be useful in several cures still before of their discovery. As an example it would be to risk the tree of the yew in order to fight the cancer, and also the magnolia that has active property in the prevention of cardiac diseases (and perhaps could be useful in order to avoid the decays), but also "normal" plants of which still are not well known the medicinal property with to the mangroves forests etc.

Strange climatic question

While in Italy on the Alps much snow is looked and that make very well to hope on the water resources in the warmer seasons, in Greenland on the icecap seems had formed a lake of approximately 840 meters of diameter that places of the interrogated on as this phenomenon is possible (a few strange) and on the state of the health of the planet in a generalized manner. The forecasts on the dissolution of the glaciers at least in the Arctic do not correspond with the data calculate in the past from the moment that only in the 2007 would be dissolved 1.4 million square kilometers of ice on a total of 3 million that are transformed in water noticed from the 1978, than ending in the sea provokes a progressive elevation of the total level of the seas that if it will not come arrested will be quantifiable in the future approximately in six meters (some already advices against to construct or to make other works near the sea previewing of the problematic tied the climatic changes).

Snow scent on the Alps

Finally has arrived the "true" snow on the Italy mountains to second of the temperatures connected to the airflows (if the temperature is too much low does not snow) renewing again the hopes for the tourists operators and the workers to the systems of rises and of the tracks from ski, in a season particularly miser of precipitations also in plain with the rivers and the lakes a few dry. The "programmed snow" in mountain had been already guaranteed through the giraffes and the guns, and now it will be possible to consolidate the snowy mantle that will have to resist to the impact of the skiers during the winter season. The snow on the tops and the glacier could also mean a natural water tank for the irrigation, the cultures and the domestic use during the summery seasons; therefore it is hoped in others abundant snowed and adequate temperatures.

From the animal slaughter to that global

Premised that the planet can surely recover, it must consider that the industrial age (in some way begun with the slaughter of our "smaller siblings" in horrible assembly lines), risks to bring serious damages to the ambience. at least from how much turns out from the first studies exposed in a cycle of conferences that are being kept to Bali in Indonesia, from which evince that the total heating is provoking phenomena of desert and tropical type and the of some countries with consequent exposure of the population to virus, bacteria and epidemic diseases. The indications to favor of the protection of the ambience and the polluting emissions supplied the governors will have to prepare in anticipation the provisions to adopt after the expiration of the protocol of Kyoto, but while it seems that at this step the China and then India will exceed soon the America for the "production" of CO2 with the result of having an irreversible effect greenhouse and city as Shanghai semisubmergeeed from the water. - Lately has been caught up not without difficulty an agreement for the reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gases that would have to be defined within the 2009.

Climatic question always opened

In this last period has been various great organizations that have launch an appeal to a greater engagement in order to limit the polluting emissions and for a development to measure for the ambience, without to consider the debated of the public media that they stir alarming indications (quite worse of those of the catastrophic men) to messages of negation type. Returning instead to the sure data, it would seem from reliable measurements that have been melted by now approximately the half of the ice that covers in the centers of Africa the summits of the chain of the Ruwenzory that feed also the Nile river, a lot that the Duke of the Abruzzi that conquered the higher summit in 1906 would perhaps make hard work to recognize now those same mountains. The earth however can surely recover from the wounds caused from the man and perhaps it would have to consider the messages of the nature in positive way for an effective change of the life habits so that the ambience can effectively be safeguarded.

Prevention from the "carts" of the sea

The shipwreck of the ships in the strait of Kerc while the researches of the shipwrecked continue, some of which have been saved in the Sea of Azov (Southern of the Russia), places the question on which are the security norms of navigation, from the moment that are puerile to take it with the fate for an all adding expectable event, seen the previous weather forecasts and the conditions of maintenance of ships (defined of the "rusted carts") that have provoked beyond the loss of numerous human lives one of the most serious climatic disasters like proportions never happened in the Black Sea. The four thousand tons of naphtha get out from the oil tanker that has been broken in two parts seem are by now difficultly recoverable and smear the coasts of the Black Sea, the flora and the aquatic fauna; moreover they could carry negative repercussions also in the Mediterranean, therefore it is asked to us if is not opportune in case of danger to prohibit the navigation of these "carts".

Those that were empiric observations, even if enough obvious, have been revealed exact also from the instrumental measurement that have recorded clearly a decrease of the precipitations, but with a careful management of the water resources and reducing the wastes has been possible to avoid important consequences on the agricultural production and uneasiness to the population. Unfortunately rains less and less and in order to try to place remedy to the ambient character problems and to the pollution that provokes the climatic changes in a near future would have to be available of the "organic" photovoltaic panels that are based on more efficient the chlorophylian synthesis much efficient of the present apparatus (than some accuse also of being polluting in phase of production) and with invisible aesthetic characteristics of "chameleonic" type.. however also the old panels are becoming more and more efficient, pleasing and convenient (but the bureaucracy for the installation is to times discouraging).

Some asserts also that behind the news regarding the ambience could are us strong economic interests tend to the sale several ecological products; moreover the climatic changes would have had simply to a greater solar activity and often the news turns out of exaggerated tone, but as an example for some rivers is clearly visible the rather reduced capacity (with the risk that the polluting in the water turn out less diluted and therefore more aggressive on the human health). As far as instead the Tyrrhenian sea the return of the turtles to the South is recorded and the warmer temperatures favors the populating of some species like the parrot fish and the barracuda.

In an ecosystem already degraded for varied motivations the global equilibrium are threatened from the nth summery fire of immense proportions in Sicily, nearly one war to flames, with human loss of precious life and pinery; but also in other zones to the South of the country flames pyres mostly fraudulent to times feeds from the strong sirocco wind. Beyond to the woods that represent the lungs of the earth it would have to try of tutelage also the rivers that often by now with a reduced capacity but they are strongly pollutes and go in the sea with all the their weight of poisons that then come transport from the currents to great distances and also the maintenance of the purification system (when present) is a few lacking, finally the lakes are threaten from the unstable variability of the precipitations and suffer for the proliferation from algae and to the fishermen not remain that contend the little fishes remained.

The submarine flora is to times threatened from the pollution provoked from the man and from some practical of intensive fishing, but the organisms vegetables that populate guaranteeing the survival of all the marine creatures, regulated the global ecosystem, comprised that earthling.

Health of the sea to protect

Many fishermen signals that the sea is becoming less and less teeming with fish and some denounce the industrial "extraction" of the fish that impoverish all the marine fauna and the natural alimentary chain, but the new dangers derive from the overheating of the waters with the appearance of algae that as an example in the Mediterranean could render difficult the fishing. The health of the sea is a good from to protect and the famous one above all in the protected areas where the marine life when is undisturbed rapidly reorganizes the wounds bring from the man to the ambience, and in spite of some famous naturalist had been pushed to say in last (perhaps in provocative way) that the Mediterranean risked in little years to die, fortunately this unpropitious hypothesis has not been taken place (but it would have to cultivate the love for the sea).

Finally after a long period of drought that has carried the lakes and the rivers to levels of attention would seem that in Italy is in arrival a perturbation that would have to carry a little relief to the suffering agriculture thanks to precipitations that we hoped could be abundant (as usual are remembered to us to pray only in these circumstances or someone still addresses to pagan divinity like Zeus, but the problem of the scarcity of the water resources seems can be connected to the climatic changes provokes from the man and the anticipated dissolution of snows in mountain for the warmth). There is also who supposes in future a meaningful change of the life habits imprinted to the saving of the precious and expensive water on all the fronts (comprised that relative one to the washing of the linen) with the return to the tanks on the roofs of the houses, however for the moment a thrifty use of the taps seems can be sufficient and to use the shower in place of the bathtub.

To notice finally, that many medicines effectively experienced on the animals (generally rats) often on the man are injurious and to the contrary the experimentations that in the tests tubes could be validated they come throw away seen the negative consequences on the animals selects for being the unlucky victims of turn.

The warm effect in the peninsula can also be emphasized especially in the coastal zones from the sirocco wind that tend to turn towards the inside and that has carried to touch of the record temperatures (the highest in the last 200 years) that joined to the insufficient precipitations renders particularly barren the lands with sensibles consequences for the future harvests.

One of the solutions in order to safeguard the ambience is that one to use incinerators to the vanguard with low polluting emissions thanks to the control of the smoke and the used temperatures in order to burn the trash, also from the moment that would seem increased to the amount of refusals collected in a year (31,7 tons, with an increment that arrives until 10.3% to the center of Italy) and in some zones of the country there are serious problems of draining and rubbish dumps; moreover often the organized crime controls this rich market "from the economic point of view". As an example to Brescia and Turin are present thermo valorize and systems of teleheating that have attracted the attention for their quality also of foreign technicians. - Lately some have advanced doubts on the usefullness and the effectiveness of the thermo valorize regarding the traditional treatment (in some zones and for modest amounts of material), while is reached from Strasburg the news that within the 2020 the differentiated pick up will have to be carried out on the 50% of city refusals in the countries EU members.

Precipitations a few insufficient

One of the effects of the polluting emissions produced from the man and dispersed in the ambience would seem to carry to precipitations of tropical type in the South of Italy (with extreme phenomena) and scarcity of rains to the North of the country, as an example in this period the present snow is little on mountains of the Alpine arc even if concurs easily to ski thanks to the artificial snow; but without meaningful snowed natural the snowy mantle melting itself will not then concur in the next summer an adequate flow of the torrents and of the rivers that feed the industrial productive cycles and the irrigation of the intensive agriculture. The argument, but, is well-known insidious and to make forecasts on the future turns out always difficult, even if the tendency to the scarcity of the water capacity of the rivers in summer with problems of irrigation of the fields seems to take place by now frequently in the last seasons. - Lately some British scientists have assumed that 2007 could be much warmth because of the sum of some climatic phenomena, with those provoke from the greenhouse effect to those legacies to the pollution, determining disagreeable consequences (.. and by now also the instrumental surveys signals that the last months have been the warmest in average from 147 years, in practical from when it has been begun to archive the meteorological data).

Reasoning for absurd it is asked if the same mechanism cannot be taken place also in the other cultivations and the transgenic aliments; perhaps therefore a period of long experimentation would be necessary before adopting on wide scale whichever technological method that modifies what the nature has modelled in the centuries.

On the Alps there isn't snow and indeed seems that on the trees bloom new leafs so the temperatures are myths, and technology cannot for the moment replace the snowy mantle with strips of the usual hardest and tightened artificial snow; in fact the guns in order to work correctly demand temperatures of some degree under the zero, and then there would be also the problem of being able to shoot the snow that can make "bottom" and resist to the mass of the skiers ready to assault the mountains for the beginning of the winter season on the tracks from ski. To notice that someone in order to save the "Immaculate bridge" pray for abundant snowy precipitations, but the invite is for a people that have also lost the cult for the manger that does not sell more in many great points of sale (making to extinguish this beautiful tradition of Franciscan memory). - Lately the experts have informed that we are living the warmer autumn of last the 50 years, however seems that in mountain has snowed.

From the moment that the Italy territory is to the margins of the zones of contact with the Africans lands, could arrive in the country the anopheles mosquito carrier of malaria for the overheating of the earth, very adapted to the new ambience that go to the desert type also for the deficiency of constant precipitations and the lack of irrigation of the lands. The problem of the heating of the planet is global and depends on the polluting emissions of the man and by now all the methods are attempted in order to try to reduce the use of fossil energies, like as an example using stalks, tutoli of maize for the heating and in order to cook the fodder derived from the same maize for the animals (but somebody support as far as the heating with products of vegetable derivation or from the firewood that to ignite also only a simple bonfire produces a remarkable pollution). As always the solution to the climatic problems is difficult and the politics do not seem move with the equal speed to that one of the climatic changes in action.

Planet Earth a little sick

The darker forecasts on the health of the Earth unfortunately seem are coming true and the human exploitation of the resources will become more and more indefensible for our "small" planet, and there is who pushes itself to support that even if is succeeded to annul all the polluting sources, the climatic degradation could same continue for the accumulated damage in the short time of the industrialization (therefore is obvious that a technological remedy would be necessary in order to invert the negative tendency radically). Is known that the polluting particles are found again more in the places uncontaminated of the earth and the DDT kills animals in unthinkable and remote places; moreover, the perturbations make to fall full acid rains of polluting to greatest distances and the price of the globalization and forced industrialization will pay also for who is strained to protect the ambient (to remember that the Earth nearly as a living organism could have unsuspected dowries of recovery from the damages provokes from the men). Lately some scientists would have found an arrest for some day of the Current of the Gulf that partially mitigates the temperatures of Europe (that seems had previewed for a long time the climatologists), with the risk in future if is not run to repair the damages also of a ruin "Wall street type" of the international finance for the migrations of populations in escape from the origin lands victims of the climatic mutations.

Ecosystem from to protect

Unfortunately is multiplied the signals of alarm for the health of the planet; in fact it seems that the fusion of the ice, that has been also measured scientifically from some investigators, brings to one damage of the marine fauna with consequences on all the ecosystem. To how much seems that the industrial civilization has already carried to the extinction very many species animals and vegetables (without between the other wanting to change broken off) and this phenomenon caused from the man occurs in single kind in occasion of great natural catastrophes, like what it has carried to the extinction of the dinosaurs. - Lately it seems that the new social phenomenon of the climatic refugees is being taken place, that is populations in escape from zones and islands of the planet (as an example, the Alaska and the Maldives) invaded from the water because of the elevation of the level of the oceans; moreover the international organizations in the next years signal an increase of the deaths provoke from the overheating of the planet and an important number of climatic exiles.

China and increase to expenses of the ambience

In China the pollution is by now to lot elevates levels and nearly all the rivers turn out contaminate from residual of the industrial workings and also in the cities the water is little and of bad quality. In compensation the economic increase is galloping and the Chinese is ready to invade the markets with cars and new products, but if this happens to expenses of the ambience the cost will have to pay all the populations of the earth. To notice that also from the photographies released from the satellites turns out that the Chinese cities are most polluted and unfortunately the technological remedies uses from the authorities does not seem to improve the ambience situation. - Lately the authorities have decided to intensify the efforts, perhaps also because disagreeable cases like that one to the damages of the inhabitants of a small country have been taken place ended all to the hospital for poisoning exit outside from an industry before public and now private (some have aimed the finger at the responsibilities of the administrators and bureaucrats that have more attention to the economy that to the ambience).

Animals polyglots

After several experiments that have carried to the discovery many years ago the ability of some animals to learn and to use numerous human words in order to carry out actions and to recognize objects (eg monkeys, dogs, parrots), now in England to some has seemed that the cows have a moo with a particular accent depending by the origin of the cattle; nearly they were expressed with various dialects. On the other hand is well-known for a long time that the animals comprise the musical melodies, therefore probably also in learning the communication perhaps they imitate different intonations (who then can imagine with which dialect they express the dissent to being tortured and cruelly killed.. as an example the lobsters puts alive in the hot water seem that emit a strongest hiss).

Still harmful DDT

Even if forbidden from decades the DDT still comes used in some countries of the world in order to face the danger to lose the harvests for guilt of the bugs, but sometimes who decides to use this type of disinfestant is not acquaintance of the fact that the product contaminates all the alimentary chain (comprised the domestic animals) and some chemical element are noticeable in the blood of the populations that have been nourished of the vegetables sprayed also to longest distance of time, with important damages to the health. The technique of the micorizze for treating the roots of the plants could partially resolve the problem of the insecticide and pesticides use, from the moment that the plants grow sturdier in a position to facing the attack of the bugs thanks to longer and strong roots.

Fires and prevention

As by now happens every summer are bursts very many fires in Italy above all in Lazio and Campania and is famous that the spontaneous combustion in nature does not exist and instead often there are of the strong economic interests behind these climatic catastrophes that ruins for years the lands devastate from the fire. Sometimes happen also that simple inattention as not to extinguish well a bonfire can provoke disasters; in fact when the vegetation is much hot enough a moment because the flames propagate quickly and literally they jump also the roads or near to the habitations with leaps provokes from the explosion of humid parts of burnt vegetation. The cigarettes, at last, beyond being harmful for the health can be dangerous also for the ambience and to throw a cigarette-end ignited from the window in zones particularly dry will provoke nearly surely a fire.

Polluted and chaotic European capital cities

The main Europeans capital cities would turn out from a study nearly all rather polluted to part the Helsinki Finn, that catches up points of excellence from many points of view in the services addressed to the citizens (transports, order, zones greens, pedestrian islands.). To notice that the pollution for excessive concentration of ozone and thin powders could be in charge of numerous deaths and in some great Italian cities beyond to the problem of the chaotic traffic in which is remained blocked and therefore forced to breathe polluted air, there is also the impossibility to move on foot for the lack or "the invasion" of the pedestrian zones.

Materials buildings in order to clean up the air

To Bergamo city in Italy has been realized in center a paving with of the bricks street in a position to reducing the pollution and to absorb until 40% the nitrogen monoxide, solution that joined to a caution management of the city traffic would have to contribute to improve the quality of the air of the city. In reality, already some time ago had been put to point near the University La Sapienza of Rome one machine able to making to throw down injurious particles PM 10 and to contribute to washing the polluting particles numerous to use on the freeways; but the plan of cleaning of the air has then not been adopted perhaps in sight to use asphalt and materials for building of the Italcementi "photo-catalyzer that eat the smog" thanks to a patent of invention based on the action of titanium dioxide.

The tawny bear like the sloth mylodon

But it was just necessary in the Alps Bavarians in Germany to kill the tawny bear escaped "from Italy"? A hunter professional with the force of his automatic precision rifle has kill this wonderful and rare creature that the man to which has been entrusted the earth has well thought to drive away from the places where the nature with the evolution had put it. While in America after to have exterminated and made to extinguish in the primordial age the sloth giant mylodon (that he was similar to a bear), now in the parks the tourists feed the bears and make to steal the food from the famous baskets, in Europe have not found other solution that to kill like happened for the cave-dwellers the wild animal that for the fascination that emanates has carried to the environmentalism ferocious hunters.

Atmosphere and climatic variations

In occasion of the world-wide day of the atmosphere dedicated to the state of the deserts, turns out that they suffer as nearly all the ambience and the climatic variations have repercussions also on the tourist season (can also happen, as we see, the anomalous situation that snows and makes cold in June). Moreover seem that the problem of the pollution in the cities is of difficult solution, from the moment that also stopping the traffic and eliminating the pollution sources, could pours the smog present in the zones near to the city centers (is like removing the sand with one shovel in one beach, the sand present all around will pour in the sinking).

Roads and cities blocked

It would seem that in the Italy cities circulate in average more cars some that regarding the rest of Europe, and unfortunately beyond polluting they degrade the level of life in general terms. More and more often it is found again to us catches in completely clog roads and in order to exceed a short feature of traffic jam sometimes is necessary to attend times interminable (to say the true there are also the less fortunate that just don't have roads). In compensation are increases the speed controls, even positioned in places where the limits are particularly restrictive (and in infraction case, attention to declare the name of the driver in order not to incur in one ulterior fine).

Twenty years from Chernobyl

The tragedy taken place in the nuclear central of Chernobyl, that is the most serious disaster of the history provoked from the technology of the man, places still alarming questions on as can be to rapport with the ambience without to make "earth burnt" in every place (for the incident has been calculate beyond 500.000 victims, 10.000 future cases of tumors in Russia and 25.000 in all the word, from the moment that the polluted cloud has propagate in various zones of the planet). Naturally there is still who supports the financing and the construction of nuclear central even if still incidents are taken place and the technology is much expensive and with a high environment impact respect the renewing resources.

Oil always more costly

Varese Ligure one little Italy city in province of La Spezia near Genoa, could be one of the rare ecological examples in Europe that has resolved the energetic problem thanks to a compound between solar and eolic energy, remaining connected to the national energetic distributor, sells the energy in excess and in case of emergency it can however use the traditional energy. To notice that the bio ethanol and the biodiesel in Italy find hard to take off, in spite have been demonstrated convenient as from the economic point of view as for the impact with the ambience (a cost that many tend to forget).

Attention to the refusals

While province as the Lombardy in Italy is to the vanguard in the recycling of the technological refusals, that they represent also a notable economic entered, other regions are not still adequately equipped in order to take advantage of this type of resource that allows also to safeguard the ambience. Unfortunately maintaining the argument on the refusals, have uncovered to Villesse (Go) who sold in Italy and Austria organic compost fertilizer, made also with toxics residual that introduced to the examinations high loaded of streptococci (useless to say that the recycling of the refusals more and more becomes a problem for the planet, but it can be resolved with the new technologies).

Warm Italian climate

A study lead from several institutes with the supervision of a research institute, has found confronting the climatic data present in the computer archives, than the temperature in the last two hundred years it would have been raised of 1.7 degrees while the precipitations would be diminished of 5%. The summers would turn out generally more warmth and unfortunately the increase of the temperature has been in great part in the last 50 years, very 1.4 degrees in average. Of the rest by now nearly all are realized also without instrumental atmospheric data surveys, that the climate is changed and that some summers have become therefore torrid to break nearly the breath.

The future is in the biodynamic agriculture

The biodynamic agriculture has turned out clearly advanced to the others in the studies carries out from the important research institute on the biological the FiBL; as an example the apples turn out not only better, but also richer of flavonoyds, phosphorus and fibers. The principles of agriculture biodynamics have been elaborated from Rudolf Steiner (enrolled since from the 1902 to the German theosophic society, become one of the heads of the anthroposophy) and concur with this type of cultivation to respect the ambience the ground, the water, favoring all the nature and saving energy. In theory this type of agriculture beyond to improve the product is also competitive with that intensive from the point of view of the costs.

Atmospheres overheat

To try to pollute less, changing the habit for the our rooms too much heat to are nearly a duty in our sick planet; in fact like in a human organism when it is raised the temperature of a single one degree is had a febrile status, in the same way the earth with a modest change of the global temperature, can produce to unforeseeable climatic modifications. A lower temperature in the rooms are also salutary, because could prevents the proliferation of the bacteria.

River of the Amazons in sand bank

The scientists signal one new climatic catastrophe with a large number death of fish in the River of the Amazons in sand bank, in fact 2005 are the most hot year from 1880 (from when the temperatures are found). Unfortunately the climatic equilibrium in the planet is compromise from the greenhouse effect provoked in part from the increased carbon dioxide emissions.. And to think that could be useful to use for auto traction in place of the derives from the petrol, the bioethanol (that proceeds from the fermentation of the sugar beet) and the biodiesel (that proceeds from oils vegetables).
