Methane emissions into the atmosphere are too high Although there are technologies to monitor and reduce methane leaks during extraction phases especially in the hydrocarbon exploitation sector losses remain too high, at least according to a report by international energy agencies. The concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere (eighty times more powerful than CO2, even though it lasts for about a decade) has more than doubled in the last two centuries, mainly due to human activities. It is estimated that until 2019 methane emissions from fossil fuel exploitation could be quantified at about one hundred and twenty million tons; then they peaked and do not seem to be decreasing. Some say that addressing this factor is of great importance, but countries generally do little to reduce these losses. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 12, 2025

 Anchoring boats harmful to posidonia Posidonia meadows in the sea can absorb over thirty-five times carbon dioxide compared to tropical forests, making them an ally in efforts to limit the impacts of climate change or potentially one of the solutions; moreover, the health of the sea and consequently fishing depends on these underwater plants, which are also habitats for over three hundred species of algae and more than a thousand species of marine animals. It is estimated that the extent of posidonia meadows in the Mediterranean has already decreased by at least thirty-four percent, mainly due to unregulated boat anchoring, along with truly destructive fishing practices on the seabed and intensive aquaculture practices conducted near these posidonia meadows that constitute an entire ecosystem, the loss of which would release a large amount of CO2 that has been stored for centuries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 10, 2025

A tax to contain the global warming To try to limit the global warming, it would be necessary to establish a progressive tax on wealth and investments very much oriented towards the intensive exploitation of coal, at least according to a study that underlines how the responsibility for global warming in about thirty years is due to the richest ten percent of the richest people on the planet, mainly rich Chinese and Americans who if combined, account for almost half of global emissions. Particular attention should be paid to how much financial investments affect the climate issue rather than dwelling only on lifestyles and personal consumption. The group of so-called responsible could also be further reduced; in fact, it seems that almost a third of the "super-ultra" rich are in the United States, more than China, India and Germany combined. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 09, 2025

Average very hot month of April The warming monitored on the planet extends month after month with the average temperatures of the month of April close to the records recorded, this raises the question of how much the world is warming far beyond the forecasts made in the past; in fact, taking into account the role played by global currents that help keep temperatures in balance, these peaks should not have been reached in these periods. Everyone points the finger at the excessive use of fossil fuels to power human activities that have caused a climate change judged exceptional and the hottest in one hundred and twenty-five thousand years. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that yesterday in Greece in the Falassarna weather station thirty-three Celsius degrees were exceeded; while in Italy a cold air front has caused temperatures to drop, damage to crops in Piedmont region. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 08, 2025

Simplifying and organizing power grids The accident that occurred to the Iberian electricity grid with fifty-five million people left in the dark due to a blackout considered historic about ten days ago raises the question of whether it is not necessary to simplify and organize the energy distribution of large countries in a more efficient way; in fact, apparently it is not possible to understand what the real cause of the blackout is and every hypothesis put forward has been discarded (with some theories also judged rather evanescent and made to capture public attention). These are very articulated networks with the additional complexity constituted by the relative novelty of renewable energy, the increase in electric cars on the road and various devices that absorb a lot of energy for recharging; all for electricity grids that are often not well organized, a bit chaotic and also exposed to possible cyber attacks and the climate changes variable. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 07, 2025

Floods in Petra in Jordan The well-known tourist resort of Petra was suddenly flooded by a cloudburst, there is talk of at least one victim (a Belgian tourist) and about eighteen hundred people evacuated by the Jordanian authorities who organized rescues; tourists visiting the monumental attractions carved into the rock have often been forced to find, not without difficulty and inconvenience, a refuge from the torrents of water that have invaded the characteristic gorges of the place. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a study carried out in Canada would have highlighted how public notices regarding the progress of the fire season could avoid trips to hospital for asthma patients, in practice it is information relating to air quality, to take the appropriate medicines, to equip oneself with air purifiers up to high-flow oxygen dispensers. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 06, 2025

High temperatures in Greece with sand from Africa After rather cold days at the end of April, days of almost summer heat are taking place in Greece with temperatures that have even exceeded thirty degrees Celsius and according to the weather forecast in addition to the heat there will also be fine sand and dust from Africa and then perhaps a colder source is approaching. Athenians and tourists filled the beaches and several areas with abnormal temperatures such as the more than thirty-two degrees in Karditsa, thirty-two in Farsala and thirty-one in Larissa, Psachna and Evia also linked to a heat wave. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that recently in Southern Iraq there have been breathing difficulties for about two thousand seven hundred people who have required hospitalization in many cases due to storms of fine sand and dust coming partly from Arabia. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 05, 2025

Problematic flu season in the U.S. Initial data on deaths of children from influenza in the United States show a sharp increase compared to those recorded last year, considering that the flu season is not over and indeed in these periods it does not seem to be attenuating much as cases of contagion. There is talk of a drop in vaccinations for children from about sixty-four percent five years ago to forty-nine percent and even if vaccination does not prevent having symptoms it can prevent hospitalization and death. The flu is rated as very severe with adults and it is estimated that there have been forty-seven million infections, six hundred and ten thousand hospitalizations and twenty-six thousand victims. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on health issues such as in the Gaza Strip the lack of food and medicine is precipitating the situation, then an organism without adequate nutrition gets sick easily. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 03, 2025

Truly destructive fire in Israel It is considered by some to be one of the most destructive fires in the history of Israel, the one that has been devouring the woods near Mesilat Zion and not far from Jerusalem for a few days, favored by high temperatures, wind and drought; there is talk of mass evacuations, problems with traffic management, injuries due to intoxication and international mobilization. The authorities say that most of the fires are under control, but the extinguished and still smoking fires could regain strength and other firefighter interventions are not ruled out while the causes are investigated. The Eshkol forest and the hills west of the capital Jerusalem were particularly affected with residential areas affected by the columns of smoke that emanated from the high fires; the question is generally how the region will be able to cope with heat waves and extreme droughts linked to climate change. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 02, 2025

Warming in north of Finland, Norway and Sweden Climate change would have significantly overheated Lapland (or northern Fennoscandia), a region located north of Finland, Norway and Sweden, so much so that temperatures in the summer of 2024 would have been the highest in two thousand years, at least according to data monitored by the Finnish Meteorological Institute also obtained from direct observations from data recorded since the late 1800s, and from indirect data and data relating to the growth of tree rings. Compared to other parts of the world the Arctic regions are warming at a rate four times faster since 1979 and it is a very sensitive ecosystem and we are talking about an irreversible impact since climate change is extending beyond the normal level of tolerance with heat waves occurring more and more frequently. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Apr 30, 2025
