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.

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.

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.

It rains on some earthquake areas in Myanmar

The rain that fell on some areas affected by the strong earthquake in Myanmar could hinder relief efforts and increase the risk of disease, at least according to international organizations that warn that more tents and shelters for the homeless are needed. In the meantime, the death toll has risen to over three thousand four hundred and four thousand six hundred injured. The combination of rainfall and extreme heat could cause serious diseases such as cholera among survivors forced to live outdoors, then there is talk of queues for water and difficulty in obtaining basic necessities. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that texts generated with artificial intelligence apparently support the false arguments of people who deny that climate change is due to emissions from human activities.

Flooding on large farms in Australia

Livestock farms with thousands of animals would have been flooded in the west of Queensland in Australia, it is a very large area of five hundred thousand square kilometers (figuratively comparable to France) sparsely populated but with many farms and some argue that it is a truly remarkable disaster at least analyzing the preliminary number of animals victims of this extreme event linked to climate change. There is talk of over one hundred thousand cows, sheep, goats and horses that have been overwhelmed by the floods and missing, most likely they drowned; while helicopters are used to identify any herds of animals that have fled far away to save themselves, difficult to monitor the situation also because a very long road is flooded and unusable, then the properties very far from each other are isolated.

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.

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.

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.

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.
