Heat in Texas after the hurricane The authorities would have declared a federal emergency after the passage of the hurricane downgraded to tropical storm "Beryl" due to the great heat that is affecting Texas (and also much of the United States) due to a heat wave defined as dangerous and record-breaking that many cannot cope with due to the lack of electricity and communications, then it also happens that many people go to some open business equipped with energy to seek refreshment, food and the opportunity to communicate. In the meantime the victims of the strong vortex in Texas have increased to seven which caused flooding, damage, uprooted trees and one victim also in Louisiana; then there is talk in recent days of lost crops and serious damage to infrastructure in Jamaica, where the population sometimes has to cope with lack of food and considerable hardship. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Jul 10, 2024              n°:   5692       A hurricane affects Mexico After leaving a trail of destruction in Jamaica and the eastern Caribbean the "Beryl" hurricane, downgraded to category two after reaching the fifth in the Atlantic but still very dangerous, is reportedly affecting coastal areas of Mexico where shelters are being prepared.

In practice by 2050 it will be necessary to add another twenty centimeters of sea rise, provided that the percentage of acceleration remains the current one with consequences that are already disastrous.

This tax could finance sea transport with low-polluting ships and the transition to greener shipping for poor emerging countries, but some opponents argue that this would penalize these economies even though it is well known that the costs of compensating for the damage of global climate change are now higher than those produced by entire advanced economies.

Among the causes of this alarming decline are the loss of habitats and barriers on migration routes, for example in this case for migrating fish species; then it decreased by almost half of the bird population resulting in a serious threat to the ecosystem.

The last eruption of the volcano (the second most active after Mayon) three hundred and eleven meters high located about eight hundred kilometers southwest of Metro Manila occurred in 1977, then recalls a really significant event that happened in 1911 with over a thousand victims.

The area destroyed by devastating fires in many parts of Australia is comparable in size to Ireland (twenty-five victims, dozens missing and near two thousand houses destroyed). Lately there has been a small improvement from the point of view of scorching temperatures with a slight drop and some rain on the country that has given some relief, but the situation of the fires always remains out of control and perhaps even with the risk that the NSW fire front could reach Victoria's by joining in a dangerous stranglehold. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Jan 07, 2020                         n°:   4285       New Zealand aid for Australia wildfires The New Zealand authorities have decided to send twenty-two firefighting aircraft to Australia to try to tackle the flames that have been devouring vegetation for months, while the death toll and devastation continue to increase with new fire fronts; then the particulate-soaked smoke also reaches new Zealand's glaciers across the Tasman Sea soiling them with soot leaving a brown patina and hindering normal solar radiation in many areas.

It's unclear how many vortices were monitored, two hundred and forty the warnings to the population due to tornadoes and fourteen detected in Mississippi. Twenty-five the affected counties and one hundred and fifty homes damaged or destroyed, but these are provisional estimates and forecasters are announcing more tornadoes. In the Midwestern states, heavy snowfall has left a snowpack of up to thirty centimeters forcing some schools to close, snow-covered for example Missouri even with snowstorm warnings; at least nine the victims for road accidents, then difficulties in traffic in the affected areas. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Dec 18, 2019                         n°:   4270       Controversy after COP25 no deal end The COP25 conference to limit pollutant emissions ended with a postponement, as no agreement was reached on the so-called carbon market among the two hundred participants; then there has also been controversy about the negative role played by some countries and in particular the United States, which in practice participates with delegates only to scuttle the agreements (some say they are not in good faith) having already formally withdrawn from the Paris protocol despite the significant responsibilities for its historic contribution to global emissions.

In the meantime in Madrid where the COP25 conference is being held to try to limit greenhouse emissions there seems to be opposition from countries such as Poland that do not want to give up the exploitation of coal mines; moreover, countries such as China and India (first and fourth as emissions) and Brazil also show little interest.

Coal, gas and oil production has increased in 2018 to around thirty-seven gigatonnes and some propose an emission tax so that renewable energy can be encouraged and more efficient use of the energy, although it seems that research has been funded for the exploitation of new oil fields; instead, should be cut every year the emissions of fifteen gigatonnes, which are at the level of Europe, India, Russia and Japan combined. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310          Date:    Nov 27, 2019                         n°:   4252       Damage per wave of bad weather in Italy Due to the wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall there have been numerous landslides and several rivers have been exonerated, there is also talk of a casualty in Piedmont; but the news that attracted the attention of the media is the collapse of a viaduct of the A6 highway near Savona in Liguria due to a large landslide that dragged away the pylons.
