Strong overheating trauma for corals The coral recovery window is closing, at least in the opinion of experts who argue that if heat waves occur at an increasingly short distance corals in the planet’s seas do not have time to recover and it is estimated that the eighty-four percent of the world’s coral reefs have suffered the worst bleaching episode ever recorded. It is an essential ecosystem that suffers the consequences of human activities with a warming warming oceans and that, for example, since 2023 has affected the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans with values about the temperatures reached from record. In some regions there is talk of the disappearance of many species that live in coral reefs even until total disappearance, it is estimated that with an overheating of one and a half degrees Celsius from seventy to ninety percent of the corals could disappear, a very undesirable prospect. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 24, 2025 ![]() ![]() Drones for transport equipment on Everest The climbs on Mount Everest may no longer be the same that traditionally are repeated more or less with the same procedures for decades with the Sherpas transporting the materials to the base fields; in fact, it seems that the use of drones that transport up to about thirty (for safety we are limited to twenty) of kilos of material in the summit is increasingly frequent. It takes the Sherpas for these sometimes risky transport operations for six or seven minutes, then they can also be used for the recovery of waste in cleaning operations such as Airlift Nepal that had already been planned; but many drone flights are needed and there is no electricity at high altitude and it takes a lot of fuel to operate the generators. However according to some the spirit of mountaineering begins to be lost with climbers equipped with sophisticated electronic equipment and tools of all kinds. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 23, 2025 ![]() ![]() Water scars in Attica in Greece The water reserves in Attica would have decreased by thirty percent compared to last year so much so that the authorities propose (provided it does not rain enough) to transport a hundred thousand cubic meters of water in tanker ships on the Acheloos river to the point of water distribution in Boeotia. The water level in the basins is low and even if the record of 1993 has not been reached, it must be taken into account that now both the population and the demand for water has grown significantly since then; then even tourists make great use of drinking water, the losses from the water network are substantial and the rise in temperatures provoke the evaporation from the basins. Experts have long warned that when the water level in the basins is low, pollutants tend to concentrate and in particular among the most dangerous it is necessary to report the perfluoroalchils (PFAS) composed of persistent and almost indestructible molecules. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 22, 2025 ![]() ![]() Still partial bad weather in areas of North Italy It rains in some areas recently hit by a tropical cyclone, with various damage to infrastructure and cultivated fields, characterized by heavy rainy rainfall and there is concern in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna for the level of the Po river with red alert for the hydrogeological risk even if for the moment the situation would seem under control and only of flood areas have been submerged, then there is talk of alert also for Sardinia. It should be noted that for the fall of a cabin from the cable car that leads to Mount Faito in Castellammare di Stabia in Campania region some of the various hypotheses also speak of the wind, opened a commission of inquiry; restored the energy to the buildings where the tow rope near the cables of the high voltage had fallen, then it seems that the damage could also be greater and the arm of a crane stopped the fall of the pulling cable. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 21, 2025 ![]() ![]() Too much water for data centers in Spain Spain is one of the most suffering European countries for drought that with large areas even at risk of desertification but apparently wants to host in Madrid large data processing centers that require huge amounts of water for cooling, are talking about billions of liters of drinking water especially if they have to support the great computing power of the artificial information generating. It is estimated that by 2030, these "Data Centers" will consume twice the energy now required (at low cost obtained from plants to obtain renewable energy and therefore in theory convenient) to support water-cooled servers. Of note changing the subject but remaining on technological issues that for the case of the fall of a cabin from the cable car of Mount Faito in Campania region in Italy some speak of an obsolete braking system not updated in materials and technologies even if the dynamics of events are not yet very clear. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 19, 2025 ![]() ![]() Wave of bad weather in some regions in Italy A cyclone defined as tropical has affected some regions of the North in Italy, there is talk of a victim in Piedmont region and two missing in Veneto (..the bodies has been found); particularly affected by the wave of bad weather the Val d'Aosta where the request for the declaration of the state of emergency was made; in fact, is talking about isolated countries and sometimes left without electricity, displaced, damage to infrastructure. To report changing the subject even if perhaps with no relation to bad weather the fall of a cable car that leads to the famous tourist resort on Mount Faito near Castellammare di Stabia in Campania region, four victims and one injured in serious condition; it seems from the first statements of the rescuers that the cable drawer broke quickly by making the cab to the upstream cable back, probably the emergency brake has not come into operation and the cabin has fallen, there are in the place a thick fog. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 18, 2025 ![]() ![]() Not very reassuring to live in coastal areas Once having a house near the sea could have been a source of pride and almost a privilege but now with the rise of the seas, the erosion of the coasts and the storms has become risky, then generally it is estimated that forty percent of the world's population lives in coastal areas and it may be necessary to move more inside the territory. Some for some time have signaled how the vegetation of the coastal areas is suffering the waves of bad weather with strong storms and gusts of wind and the increasingly frequent storms full of salt weaken the plants and the aquifers often have traces of salt for infiltrations from the subsoil that damages the roots, then the increase in temperatures favors the proliferation of pathologies, insects and fungi. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 17, 2025 ![]() ![]() Studies on the possible danger of tattoos While it is usually talked about association and non-cancer-causing tattoos, experts warn that people should be informed that a small percentage of risk remains even if more research is needed to determine its severity; then, for example, the risks of some infections such as those caused by mycobacteria seem to increase with the possibility of spreading other pathologies considering that the pigment is deposited in the dermis and inks, traces of potentially dangerous metals such as nickel and chromium have sometimes been found in the tests, then in one case arsenic, mercury and lead was found. Ninety-three percent of the inks tested violate European regulations, sixty-one contain risky pigments even if generally the level of metals remains within limits; then js talk about any allergies possibility even in the case of removal. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 16, 2025 ![]() ![]() Gloomy climate report for last year Data monitored by a European meteorological agency shows a gloomy picture for last year regarding the climate; in fact, Europe is the continent that warms faster than other areas of the world, we are talking about over three hundred and thirty victims and four hundred and thirteen thousand people affected by storms and floods; There are strong naturalistic imbalances and it is important to take into account every fraction of a degree of increase (it seems that there has been an improvement in the amount of energy obtained from renewable sources). To be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, the recent wave of bad weather with a kind of typhoon that would have hit areas of regions in northern China and the capital Beijing, forcing the closure of historical sites and difficulties in travel; Numerous trees fell, then snowfall, hailstorms and cloudbursts. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 15, 2025 ![]() ![]() Thin, flexible and sustainable batteries The new ultra-thin batteries are flexible and can also be flexed and stretched, at least according to the Swedish researchers who have developed these rechargeable batteries made with fluid electrodes and sustainable materials. In the tests the batteries withstood over five hundred charging cycles, remaining stable in energy delivery even when subjected to significant downturns. The advantages for medical use and for a large number of sectors would be great (but as for artificial intelligence a possible use in robotics is scary). To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on technological issues such as the tariff war, partly removed but then reannounced, it could increase the cost of many consumer products such as computers and smartphones. Some have long claimed to incentivize the market for remanufactured technology products. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 14, 2025 ![]() ![]() First Page * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
