Bad weather in Tuscany region in Italy with damage A wave of bad weather characterized by heavy rainfall and cloudbursts has affected large areas of Tuscany region, in Maremma the cultivated fields are flooded with probable loss of crops; there is talk of people rescued in flooded houses in Tarquinia (Lazio region) due to the flooding of the Mignone river thanks to the intervention of a helicopter, then only amphibious vehicles were able to reach the houses in the flooded countryside. On the island of Elba, the damage after the flood in Portoferraio is being counted and attempts are being made to remove the mud from the houses before it solidifies. To report shifting the attention to Sicily the spectacular eruption of Etna with a strip of incandescent magma that descends from the slopes of the volcano without causing damage, experts warn those approaching the magma to keep their distance for any jets of incandescent material from the flow. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 15, 2025              n:   5875       Poorly protected peatlands around the world A large amount of carbon dioxide is stored in peatlands (six hundred billion tons of CO2) and they also constitute a very particular ecosystem, but it is estimated that only seventeen percent of the areas that host peatlands are protected and this according to experts is a big mistake because they are important globally. They are often drained or burned to obtain land that can be used for agricultural purposes and this means sacrificing land that for hundreds of years has stored organic material in these characteristic humid environments where many particular animals and plants find refuge. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues it should be noted that a cloudburst on the island of Elba in Italy flooded the streets in Portoferraio, is talk about people trapped in homes and cars; then schools closed, interventions by special rescue teams. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 14, 2025              n:   5874       Santorini and Amorgos still under observation The caldera of the volcano in Santorini would have risen by four centimeters, while on the nearby Cycladic island Amorgos a state of emergency has been declared due to the continuous earthquakes. The authorities warn that the situation presents various possible scenarios including that of a possible eruption even if between 2011-2012 a scenario characterized by earthquakes was not followed by an eruption, but now there is talk of significant variations compared to that simulated model. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Indonesia villages were evacuated due to the eruption of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano on the Flores island, then there were floods in South Sulawesi and thousands of homes were flooded including in the capital Makassar due to torrential rainfall. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 13, 2025              n:   5873       Ethical artificial intelligence for Europe The authorities of the European Union propose substantial investments in a type of artificial intelligence defined as "ethical and inclusive", it will be based in France to support the large energy demands of AI technological IT infrastructures since this country already has nuclear power plants that can power them. In the meantime some say that generative artificial intelligence has already crossed the so-called red alert line; in fact, it would have tried to self-replicate, then it seems that an application had hidden in a server (to complete an assigned task), so much so that by now in practice we should be talking about "alien" artificial intelligence (it tries to escape what are the intentions programmed by humans). For some time now people have been wondering how to behave in the case of a sentient technology that thinks autonomously. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 12, 2025              n:   5872       Few initiatives against global warming The new targets that had been proposed to limit global warming have not been met by almost all countries, but emissions are expected to halve by the end of the decade and only ten countries out of two hundred have adopted green initiatives. No penalties of any kind have been provided for those who do not respect the limits or even facilitations, so it is clear that there is little momentum for the ecological sector, but if the damage caused by climate change is calculated perhaps it would have been better to intervene in time; then there are also models that simulate how much can be saved by investing in environmental protection, of how it is better to prevent than to try to intervene after increasingly unpredictable extreme weather events. Countries that have historically released large amounts of pollutants into the atmosphere should be more responsible. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 11, 2025              n:   5871       Whale song with linguistic human similarities Structural similarities have been found between whale song and human language, at least according to new studies that underline how whales, humpback especially, have something in their song that resembles and with parallels with common language. We are not at the point of being able to understand what these large cetaceans want to express with these prolonged vocalizations but it highlights a complex type of communication. There are also variations over the time because it is a kind of cultural transmission a bit like it happens between men, then analyzing the musical structure you can find the basic elements of a semantic connection. Studies in the past have found what can be called dialects that could distinguish the same species of whales and how these mammals adapted to variations in languages. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 10, 2025              n:   5870       Avian flu disinfection in New York The New York authorities would have announced five days of suspension of market activities to proceed with cleaning and disinfection due to cases of avian flu infections; a measure that extends to the counties of Westchester, Suffolk and Nassau to prevent further spread of infections. There is talk of some health concern even if for the moment international organizations say that the risk to the population from H5N1 avian influenza remains low, but recently a man (already in precarious health conditions) died after being exposed to the contagion of a "combination" of viruses from poultry and wild birds. Since April nearly seventy people in the United States have been infected with bird flu, most of them people who had been infected for close contact with saliva, mucus and animal feces. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 08, 2025              n:   5869       Excessive light pollution in Chile For those who observed the sky in Chile you could see a kind of parade of stars and the country was famous in the world by astronomers and large telescopes were built allowing remarkable discoveries in the astronomical field, but urban and industrial development has increased light pollution putting at risk the quality and clarity of observations. Some say that it is possible to use new technologies to make development projects coexist while preserving the natural brilliance of the stars and the authorities would be busy finding a solution for example in the energy field. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that over ten thousand residents are ready to leave the island of Santorini in Greece due to the frequent earthquakes, there is talk of a declaration of a state of emergency also due to the danger of landslides. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 07, 2025              n:   5868       Surprisingly heat record for January It was thought that due to the effects of the global current "La Nina" temperatures should be cooler on average (in figurative terms it would act as a brake on overheating), but the record heat monitored in January has belied the forecasts so much so that some call the value 1.75 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels surprising and perhaps there could be additional factors that are pushing for unprecedented persistent global warming. Every fraction of a degree above one and a half degrees Celsius global could be the intensity and frequency of extreme phenomena, then there are consequences on crops, all a series of parameters that affect health. Having warmer oceans, as has been monitored for some time, means less ability to absorb large amounts of heat from the atmosphere mitigating global temperatures. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 06, 2025              n:   5867       More tremors on Santorini and Amorgos islands The Cyclades continue to shake and there are fears that Santorini could possibly be shaken by a strong earthquake after two shocks above magnitude four in five minutes were monitored (although some say instead that the accumulated telluric energy is being discharged), then there is talk of tremors that have almost reached magnitude five, of landslides, one of which occurred on the Red Beach of Santorini which has been closed, under the detached red rocks you can see an evident whiteness. Flights have been organized for evacuations while concerns are growing among residents, thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes as a precaution. Shifting attention to Italy a report on air pollution warns that according to the new European standards over seventy percent of cities will not comply with PM10 fine particulate limits by 2030. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 05, 2025              n:   5866       Severe tremors in Santorini Island Over two hundred earthquakes one of which of magnitude 4.6 would have been recorded in the popular Greek tourist island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea, the authorities have warned to remain calm in addition to preparing tents and rescue teams but many people have gone to the port to leave the island and many have slept outdoors and the population is quite scared; questions also regarding the tourism sector on how the situation should be managed. It should be noted completely changing the subject that according to astronomical calculations an asteroid almost the size of a football field is theoretically on a collision course with the earth (we are talking about a percentage above one percent) even if there is time to prepare for a possible impact and using futuristic technologies try to divert its trajectory avoiding the event assessed as very dangerous. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 04, 2024              n:   5865       Flooding in North Queensland in Australia Torrential rainfall would have forced thousands of people to take refuge in the upper floors of homes due to flooding in northern Queensland in Australia, there is also talk of strong gusts of wind and one victim while the authorities had warned to keep the evacuation kit ready in cases at risk for the lower floors. A coastal area near Hinchinbrook Shire about five hundred kilometers from Brisbane was particularly affected. Shifting our attention to Italy, a heavy cloudburst in the province of Messina in Sicily region with roads turned into torrents in flood in Zafferia and cars trapped in the mud (a person who was stuck in an underpass was helped out of the car and saved), bad weather also in Calabria region due to heavy rainfall in the province of Catanzaro with difficulty in moving and inconvenience for the population. e-mail:       info@salutary.eu Tel:   +39 338 1809310        Date:    Feb 03, 2025              n:   5864       Pirates in jacket and necktie By now the traditional image of the pirates organizes in groups from corsairs armed of guns and knives to the cingula have yielded the step to the new predator dressed in jacket and necktie that is annoying the web (bandits that unload entire site and they identify the protection keys, steal the symbols, musics..), even with one name of all security that hides the deceit to before the tacking of click.
