Floods in Canada in areas of British Columbia Authorities in British Columbia have reportedly stated that it is time to take action after the floods in the Fraser Valley, which for some recalled the disastrous ones in 2021, with flooding from the Nooksack River in neighboring Washington state affecting hundreds of homes and farms, forcing school closures; then the main highway connecting Metro Vancouver with the rest of Canada was impassable, with entire areas resembling lakes. To report shifting the attention in the Gaza Strip complaints for the limited aid provided to the population affected by the floods caused by the storm "Byron"; in fact, the death toll is reported to have risen to sixteen (several children were frostbitten), with people finding themselves deprived of essential goods swept away by water and storms. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 13, 2025

 Combination of climate change and monsoon rains Torrential rainfall whose effects are significantly amplified by climate change is a decidedly unhealthy combination that has led to unprecedented devastation in parts of Southeast Asia, with at least sixteen hundred casualties reported, then according to researchers regarding the Cyclone "Senyar" over the Strait of Malacca warming in north of the Indian Ocean (caused by unregulated use of fossil fuels) added heat and moisture to the storm. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural topics that the Gaza Strip is about to be affected by Storm "Byron" which had already caused damage, for example in Puglia region in Italy and Greece, according to weather forecasts in addition to heavy rain and strong gusts of wind hail could also occur on the fragile tent camps of the displaced. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 11, 2025 n: 6127 Fires in New South Wales in Australia More than sixty fires have affected thousands of hectares in New South Wales about forty-five kilometers north of Sydney Australia’s largest city, with reports of several destroyed homes, important infrastructure damaged, put crops and national parks at risk, and authorities fear a challenging fire season after a relatively calm period. To report changing the subject but still focusing on environmental issues as in Indonesia there are reportedly protests over areas affected by floods that have been left without aid, with extremely difficult living conditions, particularly in Aceh which has remained isolated; then is also noted that an ecosystem degraded by deforestation and soil depletion has worsened the devastation, and that measures such as restoring proper rainfall cycles and vegetation along riverbanks should be taken. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 09, 2025 n: 6125 Wave of bad weather in Puglia and Basilicata in Italy Large areas of Puglia and Basilicata regions have been hit by heavy rain and gusts of wind, with reports of one victim in Puglia along with uprooted trees and flooded crops (after a period of prolonged drought); meanwhile, in Basilicata many greenhouses for strawberry cultivation near Metaponto have been damaged or even destroyed and often the roads have cracked, causing interruptions in the road surface. To report turning the attention to other scenarios the repeated calls to stop deforestation due to uncontrolled development that has been ongoing for decades without any criteria in Southeast Asia following devastating floods that have scarred the land, with a death toll exceeding fifteen hundred persons and hundreds missing, causing great suffering for the population with impassable roads, collapsed bridges, and disrupted communications. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 05, 2025 n: 6123 Role of climate change in Asian floods With the death toll exceeding eleven hundred people across Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, some have once again pointed out how climate change is causing extreme rainfall and significantly intensifying storms in the region. Meanwhile the situation in western Sumatra is particularly difficult for the population, often hungry and in need of everything while there is controversy over the slow arrival of aid and relief efforts, the floods have carried large amounts of mud and debris that hinder rescue operations to find the hundreds of people still missing, then digging is also needed beneath the numerous landslides. In Sri Lanka according to authorities international assistance is required in addition to the use of helicopters, then it is being described as one of the worst disasters in the country's history. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 02, 2025 n: 6120 Severe weather in Indonesia and Sri Lanka At least one hundred and eleven people are reported dead and over a hundred missing in North Sumatra due to the tropical cyclone called "Senyar", the local capital Medan has been flooded with muddy water causing inevitable serious disruptions for the population; in general landslides are reported after the heavy monsoon rains, often communications are cut off, there are power outages and some areas are covered with debris and therefore difficult to reach. Lhockseumawe the second city of Aceh is also flooded and the regional highway is unusable, resulting in paralysis throughout the region. As for Sri Lanka there are reports of sixty-nine deaths and thirty-four missing due to floods and landslides following torrential rains and strong wind gusts caused by cyclone "Ditwah", with road and rail traffic problems. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 29, 2025 n: 6118 Bad weather in some regions of Italy Storms have caused the Sarno River in Campania region to overflow (also known for being one of the most polluted rivers in Europe), and several roads have been flooded, there are also reports of fallen trees and gusts of wind in this area due to the wave of bad weather, which has partially affected Tuscany region as well; then in the North there are sometimes reports of intense cold peaks as happened for example in the city of Bolzano. To report changing the topic but remaining within natural themes the disastrous situation in the Gaza Strip where heavy rainfall has caused the formation of muddy puddles in the large tent camps built with worn-out and inadequate materials, it is reported that eighty percent of the buildings have been destroyed due to the long-standing conflict in the area, the sewage systems do not work and all primary resources are scarce. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 26, 2025 n: 6115 Silence on phasing out fossil fuel use in COP30 The conference in Belem in Brazil COP30 concluded with a compromise regarding the increase in funds to help poor countries cope with climate change, but it apparently omits any mention of phasing out fossil fuel use. Some protested with polemical speeches arguing that emissions cannot continue to rise and that the future of upcoming generations is compromised, then the money cannot be eaten essentially referring to the fact that when land is no longer arable or lands are submerged due to rising seas it will no longer be possible to obtain the necessary sustenance for entire populations. Voluntary actions are encouraged to accelerate the transition to less polluting energy sources, but for example it has long been noted that even in this sector the production chain is not very environmentally friendly. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 24, 2025 n: 6113 Earthquake in central Bangladesh There are reportedly at least ten victims and over a hundred injured due to a quake estimated between magnitude 5.5 and 5.7, which shook old Dhaka and other nearby densely populated areas of the capital. Panic spread among the population who poured into the streets not knowing where to take shelter; criticism arose over the lack of large open spaces, which exposed people to the risk of buildings collapsing on those trying to avoid falling debris during a fairly strong earthquake that was also felt in India. When planning the layout of a city in addition to considering earthquake-resistant standards, escape routes and suitable open spaces should be provided to accommodate large numbers of people (for example in public parks) which should also be prepared in advance to manage emergencies. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 22, 2025 n: 6112 Discussions on who will host the COP31 conference Australian authorities have reportedly stated that they do not intend to oppose Turkey as the host country for the upcoming COP31 conference on reducing pollutant emissions; in fact, doing so would not send a good signal regarding the unity needed to effectively act on global climate issues. Australia had previously declared itself willing to host the conference also due to the proximity of the Pacific Islands threatened by tropical cyclones and rising sea levels, but apparently estimates of the COP31 costs played a role in a step back. If neither Australia nor Turkey accepts the choice could fall on the city of Bonn in Germany and in the meantime discussions on this issue continue, but studies estimate that emissions from fossil fuels are set to reach a new record by 2025. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 19, 2025 n: 6109 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
