Damage in northwest of Philippines from a typhoon Floods and landslides have caused damage in the northwest of the Philippines with entire provinces left without electricity due to Typhoon "Fung-wong", at least ten victims have been reported and one million and four hundred thousand people were evacuated. Some areas had already been affected by a previous strong typhoon (which caused two hundred thirty-two victims, plus five in Vietnam) and were further devastated by this vortex considered to be of considerable intensity. Authorities had declared a state of emergency, then schools and many government offices were closed, with hundreds of flights canceled. To report on a related note but still concerning natural issues the controversy regarding the absence of the United States and [China ?] at the COP30 climate conference in Belem in Brazil despite the significant impact of their economies on the fate of the planet. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 11, 2025

 Contradictions Emerged at COP30 in Brazil While Brazilian authorities in Belem where the COP30 conference is being held to discuss mitigating global warming claim that the Earth can no longer withstand intensive use of fossil fuels, some have pointed out that Brazil continues to rely on the oil industry for the country's development; there is talk of authorizing exploration for the exploitation of deposits about five hundred kilometers from the mouth of the Amazon River, because in this way the funds generated from the export of fossil fuels should accelerate the transition to cleaner energy. Environmentalists have gone as far as to denounce a kind of boycott of the conference, hypocrisy and a paradox when attempts are made to encourage more ambitious measures to limit global warming with the so-called "black gold." e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 08, 2025 n: 6100 Global emissions remain far too high Despite initiatives taken by many countries around the world (most recently by the European Union which aims to reduce emissions by ninety percent by 2040 albeit with flexibility) global emissions are still far too high to prevent excessive warming of the planet; in fact, are expected to increase by 2.3 percent in 2024 compared to 2023, with India topping this decidedly unhealthy ranking, followed by China, Russia, and Indonesia. This is a rather high increase considering recent years and is practically comparable to the rise in emissions seen in the 2000s, however the European Union was the only entity to cut greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. It is necessary for all countries that have not yet reduced emissions to set more ambitious targets because the projected trajectory of global warming is concerning. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 06, 2025 n: 6098 A typhoon lashes the central Philippines Authorities have evacuated tens of thousands of people due to the arrival of a typhoon called "Kalmaegi," with at least one reported death from flooding affecting the country and causing widespread power outages. The city of Sagay in Negros province has been particularly hit by severe weather and strong wind gusts, on this island, heavy rainfall could also trigger mudslides of volcanic material from Mount Kanlaon, which has recently shown signs of activity. To report changing the subject but staying on natural phenomena that in Papua in Indonesia at least fifteen people, most of them children, were swept away by floods and landslides after torrential rains; they are missing and their lives are feared in danger, it seems they were attempting to cross a river before being swept away. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 04, 2025 n: 6096 The hurricane in the Caribbean is approaching Bermuda There are reportedly forty-nine victims in the Caribbean islands affecting from the powerful hurricane "Melissa," at least according to a new tragic report provided by authorities who warn that missing persons are still being searched for under rubble and debris caused by the passage of the devastating vortex approaching Bermuda. No victims have been reported in Cuba, but the island was left in darkness with damage to houses and crops in eastern areas, isolated communities; more than seven hundred thirty thousand people had been evacuated, and tourists were accommodated in more protected inland hotels. Researchers claim that due to climate change the intensity of hurricanes is increasing because they are fueled by the heat accumulated in the surface waters of the sea and they often move more slowly thus having greater destructive capacity compared to a relatively faster passage. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 31, 2025 n: 6093 Protecting life from extreme heat and pollution The lives of millions of people could be saved from extreme heat waves, pollution, and intensified climate disasters if measures identified long ago were actually implemented which in practice remain on the table, at least according to a report highlighting how the global health impact of climate change could be devastating and destabilizing. This is also in anticipation of the COP30 conference to be held in Brazil in November where decisions will need to be made on which measures to take to mitigate the now uncontrollable climate warming (in 2024 for the first time, with average temperatures more than one and a half degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels). To report on a different topic but still related to nature-related issues, it should be noted that the severe hurricane "Melissa" affecting Jamaica and Cuba has been downgraded although it remains dangerous. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 29, 2025 n: 6091 Earthquake without damage near Avellino in Italy A magnitude 4.0 earthquake with its epicenter in an area on the border between Avellino and Benevento in Campania region without any significant damage caused concern among the population which had been affected decades ago by the disastrous Irpinia earthquake, many people slept in their cars, and there is talk of schools being closed as a precaution (other tremors had been recorded earlier, one of magnitude 3.6). There is a seismic swarm due to the bradyseism phenomenon at the Phlegraean Fields near Naples, but experts declare that there would be no connection with the earthquake. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural topics the unusually high temperatures for the season reported in Sicily, in Catania it reached thirty-two Celsius degrees, and in Palermo slightly less with the Mondello beach crowded and people swimming in the sea as in summer, it is also hot in Greece with temperatures around thirty degrees. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 27, 2025 n: 6089 A tornado near Paris and smog in New Delhi Damage occurred in about ten districts of France affected by a tornado, with reports of one victim and four serious injuries due to the collapse of three cranes on construction sites; the city of Ermont, twenty kilometers northeast of Paris was particularly affected. As for New Delhi the already difficult situation due to smog which often makes the air unbreathable has been worsened by the arrival of millions of people for the celebrations of a festival meant to symbolize the victory of light over darkness, but in reality the use of a large number of fireworks might demonstrate the opposite environmentally significantly increasing fine particulate matter with toxic chemical components in the air, then in theory there are less polluting alternatives to fireworks such as using LED lights and drones to simulate light effects. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 22, 2025 n: 6085 Storm in Alaska with state of emergency The remnants of what was Typhoon "Halong" have devastated two villages in Alaska, with reports of at least one fatality and two missing in the native community in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in the southwest of the country, nearly eight hundred kilometers from Anchorage; more than fifteen hundred people have been evacuated with the communities of Kipnuk (where a devastating situation is reported) and Kwigillingok particularly affected. According to experts the storm was fueled by the surface warming of the Pacific Ocean caused by human activities. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural themes that the tipping point for tropical coral reefs may have been surpassed, with coral mortality for example reaching new records in 2023 and showing signs of ecosystem collapse if bleaching lasts more than two years. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 18, 2025 n: 6082 Record CO2 Levels for 2024 and a vicious cycle A combination of continued emissions from fossil fuels and a reduction in what is absorbed by forests, oceans, and other natural resources for carbon dioxide capture has led to record CO2 levels in the atmosphere in 2024 (since such data began being recorded in 1957), according to a report by international agencies. The report highlights how the average annual increase rose from 2.4 parts per million per year in the decade from 2011 to 2020 to 3.5 ppm from 2023 to 2024. The consequences of humanity's reckless behavior and unrestrained consumption of fossil fuels have resulted in increasingly extreme climatic events, disturbing the delicate carbon cycle and creating a self-reinforcing vicious cycle; therefore it is urgent to find effective solutions to reverse this trend. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 16, 2025 n: 6080 Various and natural * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
