Strong overheating trauma for corals

The coral recovery window is closing, at least in the opinion of experts who argue that if heat waves occur at an increasingly short distance corals in the planet’s seas do not have time to recover and it is estimated that the eighty-four percent of the world’s coral reefs have suffered the worst bleaching episode ever recorded. It is an essential ecosystem that suffers the consequences of human activities with a warming warming oceans and that, for example, since 2023 has affected the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans with values about the temperatures reached from record. In some regions there is talk of the disappearance of many species that live in coral reefs even until total disappearance, it is estimated that with an overheating of one and a half degrees Celsius from seventy to ninety percent of the corals could disappear, a very undesirable prospect.

Still partial bad weather in areas of North Italy

It rains in some areas recently hit by a tropical cyclone, with various damage to infrastructure and cultivated fields, characterized by heavy rainy rainfall and there is concern in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna for the level of the Po river with red alert for the hydrogeological risk even if for the moment the situation would seem under control and only of flood areas have been submerged, then there is talk of alert also for Sardinia. It should be noted that for the fall of a cabin from the cable car that leads to Mount Faito in Castellammare di Stabia in Campania region some of the various hypotheses also speak of the wind, opened a commission of inquiry; restored the energy to the buildings where the tow rope near the cables of the high voltage had fallen, then it seems that the damage could also be greater and the arm of a crane stopped the fall of the pulling cable.

Not very reassuring to live in coastal areas

Once having a house near the sea could have been a source of pride and almost a privilege but now with the rise of the seas, the erosion of the coasts and the storms has become risky, then generally it is estimated that forty percent of the world's population lives in coastal areas and it may be necessary to move more inside the territory. Some for some time have signaled how the vegetation of the coastal areas is suffering the waves of bad weather with strong storms and gusts of wind and the increasingly frequent storms full of salt weaken the plants and the aquifers often have traces of salt for infiltrations from the subsoil that damages the roots, then the increase in temperatures favors the proliferation of pathologies, insects and fungi.

March on average very hot in Europe

The average temperatures monitored in Europe would have reached a new record and also with a significant margin and this has caused extreme weather phenomena such as very intense rainfall in some areas and prolonged drought in others. Globally it seems that the month of March is in second place in the ranking, but these are still truly alarming data with a long series of months always above one and a half degrees of global average warming since humanity began to burn huge quantities of coal and other fossil fuels with the industrial era. Already 2023 was the first to be above one and a half degrees and this upward push in temperatures pushes into 2024 probably destined to reach a new record, despite the theoretically rebalancing influence of the cooler global current "la Nina".

An asteroid could fall on the Moon

Calculations made on the new data obtained from a telescope announce that there could be a percentage of about four percent that a large asteroid could impact the Moon; therefore maybe not the Earth as previously thought, albeit with a low percentage (about one percent). The size of the asteroid is now estimated to be between fifty-three and sixty-seven meters, therefore larger than the threshold of fifty that activates planetary defense plans that provide for the development of one or more deflection missions; some say that it should already start now. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that according to weather forecasts a drop in temperatures is expected in many European countries due to a cold air front from Finland, particularly affected the Balkans with a drop perhaps greater than ten Celsius degrees.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Global warning systems for climate disasters

It is urgently necessary to equip ourselves with warning systems in the event of sudden climate disasters capable of guaranteeing coverage of the entire planet, at least according to a report by international organizations that underline how last year hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes to escape extreme weather events. The data concerning climate disasters would have been collected and monitored since 2008, these data do not only concern economically disadvantaged countries as happened for example in Mozambique where about one hundred thousand people were evacuated due to cyclone "Chido", but also countries that enjoy relative wealth as happened in Spain in Valencia where two hundred and twenty-four people lost their lives due to floods and Canada and the United States affected by devastating fires.
