Storm in Indiana in the United States

Two people would be killed due to a storm that affected the state of Indiana in the United States, there is talk of damage in several counties and large areas remained evidence of electricity supply and many power lines fell, particularly affected by the strong wind vortex the Brown County; over seventy tornado warnings that have also partly affected Illinois. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that the islands of Paros and Myconos in Greece in the Cyclades were lashed by an extreme weather event with the characteristics of a tropical phenomenon characterized by torrential rainfall, hailstorms and strong gusts of wind that transformed the roads into torrents in flood with cars dragged among debris of all kinds and mud, inconvenience for the population and chaos of services.

Settlement and seismic swarm in Myanmar

Aftershocks and seismic swarm continue to affect the areas near the Sagaing fault in central Myanmar, in the meantime the death toll has risen to one thousand seven hundred with three hundred missing and three thousand four hundred injured. The devastation has hit a country impoverished by civil war, then there is talk of the critical state of many infrastructures and organizational chaos so much so that it is difficult even to get humanitarian aid to reach (the colonial-era bridge that connects Sagaing with Mandalay on the Irrawaddy River partially collapsed). There is often a lack of water, electricity and communications are very difficult; then for example there is a lack of heavy vehicles to move the rubble and look for the missing. In neighboring Thailand the number of victims of the collapse of a very high skyscraper under construction in the capital Bangkok has risen to eighteen.

Six regions affected by the earthquake in Myanmar

The two strong earthquakes that struck Myanmar, one of magnitude 7.7 followed by an aftershock of magnitude 6.4 with epicenter northwest of the city of Sagaing, would have caused significant damage in six regions in particular; there is talk of perhaps over one thousand and sixty victims with requests for international aid from the authorities of the country (where there have been bloody conflicts for power issues for some time), over three thousand and forty of injured and apparently many buildings collapsed with some saying that it will take time to get a real picture of the situation. There is also talk of children trapped in a partially collapsed monastery not far from Mandalay, the country's second city (where collapsed a children school). In neighboring Thailand a thirty-storey skyscraper under construction collapsed causing at least nine victims and people are also being searched for missing in the area affected by the collapse.

Strong earthquake tremor in Myanmar

A strong earthquake measuring 7.7 in magnitude struck Myanmar with its epicenter near the cities of Sagaing and Mandalay in a central area of the country, there are reports of over one hundred forty victims and seven hundred wounded, a building collapse and impassable roads where sinkholes have opened. Authorities have declared a state of emergency and rescue teams are working. The tremor was felt in neighboring Thailand in the capital Bangkok a under construction skyscraper collapse (nine victims) then offices and commercial establishments have been evacuated, felt also in the Yunnan province (in China). It should be noted shifting topics but staying on natural issues the prolonged drought causing distress for crops in Sicily in Italy; these are often lands at risk of desertification without structural hydraulic works, meanwhile the renowned blood oranges cultivated in the volcanic region of Etna are of significantly lower caliber than in previous seasons.

Heat wave on the Australian coral reef

On the west coast of Australia in one of the most famous points of the coral reef, for the varied beauty of the colors and where whale sharks migrate, a wave of marine heat would have made the corals bleach. We speak in figurative terms of "boiling" of corals as the sea is warm, then the heat has not only affected the surface layers but also in depth and several species of corals, therefore with damage judged to be very serious and the worst bleaching since 2011. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes, that the number of victims due to fires in South Korea has increased to twenty-four, bewilderment at the loss of the finely finished Gounsa temple in Uiseong, a cultural heritage of humanity and rich in historical artifacts; then some speak of an unprecedented crisis with entire areas of vegetation especially in the south-east of the country went up in smoke.

High alert for fires in South Korea

The fire emergency in South Korea continues with the authorities reportedly declaring a high-level crisis, there is talk of at least eighteen victims, nineteen injured, six of whom are seriously injured with devastation that has affected many villages and a historic temple razed to the ground; damage defined as unprecedented and the third event concerning the extension of multiple fires in the history of the country. Rather dry vegetation, strong winds and climate change have hampered efforts to contain the flames, particularly affected the regions of Ulsan and Gyeongsang with five days of fires that have caused unprecedented damage. Power lines and communications in the affected areas have been damaged and there is sometimes talk of chaos in organizing rescue, then the evacuations decided will hardly be able to avoid any other victims and injuries.

Ecocide as genocide and war crimes

Ecocide is defined as the destruction of large areas of the natural environment as a consequence of human activities and should be assessed by international organizations at the same level as genocide and war crimes, at least according to a group belonging to the Pacific island nation (Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa) which request that it be recognized by the Court of Justice in The Hague in the Netherlands (ICC) that can indict individuals who are responsible for the most serious crimes. The proposal had already been put forward in September 2024 and the crime of ecocide was to be added under ICC jurisdiction to the so-called Rome Statute which includes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression; this is also because the damage caused to nature and the entire ecosystem is not being taken seriously enough.

Forest fires in South Korea

At least four people would be killed and six injured due to a series of wildfires that have affected wooded areas in the south-east of the country, there is talk of damage to residential buildings, a temple; then over fifteen hundred people were evacuated to shelters after the fires burned about six thousand three hundred hectares of forest. More than nine thousand people were also involved in the flames supported by one hundred and five helicopters (three of the victims were firefighters), with difficulty in extinguishing the flames due to rather dry vegetation and wind. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues dozens of evacuations due to flooding in areas of central Spain and in the north of the country, it seems that a historic bridge collapsed, then barriers were set up in Toledo; water released from the El Pardo reserve as a precaution.

It is essential to avoid melting glaciers

All nineteen regions covered by glaciers in the world suffered a net loss of mass during 2024 for the third consecutive year in a row, at least according to data monitored by international organizations that underline how essential it is to avoid the total melting of glaciers for reasons that go beyond environmental, economic and social ones. The glaciers that retreated the most and to record levels last year would be those of Scandinavia, Norway in Svalbard and North Asia; then to give an example the retreat of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet could be quantified in nine billion tons since 1975 (since this type of data began to be recorded). The only solution is to reduce polluting emissions as well as perhaps identify low-temperature areas to be watered regularly to form glaciers to be covered with volcanic ash.

More avian flu infections in the U.S.

The situation regarding the trend of avian flu infections in the United States is not very reassuring according to experts since from 2022 the H5N1 strain has infected chickens, cows and cats; then almost one hundred and sixty-seven million birds infected and seventy people while with spring is speak of migration season (for example to Canada). Recently infections of the H7N9 avian influenza strain have also been monitored in Mississippi, which adds other concerns; in fact, it causes a percentage of deaths higher than H5N1, it seems that almost forty percent of infected humans have lost their lives since this new strain of avian flu was discovered in 2013, so in this case the infected birds were promptly killed. Some say that the H5N1 strain is only missing a genetic step for a potential possible pandemic.
