Complaints and controversy after the storm in Spain

After the passage of the storm called "Dana" which caused over two hundred deaths, dozens of missing, one hundred and twenty thousand displaced (as well as the collapse of damaged bridges, houses, roads and infrastructures) while the strong vortex has not yet exhausted its destructive power and it is feared that it may affect the Balearic Islands, the queue of complaints and controversies does not cease for the considerable delay in warning the population of the danger, the imprudent management of resources in prevention, then many speak of delay in rescue or even total absence. As for the climatic phenomenon of the so-called cold drop that are talking about in this case, it seems that experts argue that it is an event that has already affected the Valencia region in the past, but amplified by climate change; in fact, the Mediterranean is abnormally hot and has accumulated a lot of energy.

Coral triangle threatened by drilling

What is defined as one of the areas with the greatest marine biodiversity in the world and which extends for about ten million square kilometers between Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Philippines, Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands would be threatened by drilling for the exploitation of fossil resources and therefore oil, gas, LNG and other industrial activities. The complaint filed by environmentalists coincides with the COP16 conference on biodiversity being held in Colombia. In addition to three-quarters of the coral species, this naturalistic triangle is home to six of the world's seven marine turtle species, and whales and other marine mammals find nourishment. It talks about the large number of exploitation concessions awarded in the future and how there is an area defined as very sensitive that should be protected in particular.

Philippines in trouble after tropical storm

The tropical storm called "Trami" that in recent days has lashed the Philippines, especially large areas in the north and the Bicol region, would have caused at least eighty-seven victims, dozens of missing then there is talk of collapsed bridges, significant damage, half a million people forced to leave their homes. Rescue workers have difficulty reaching inaccessible areas and there is talk of people still waiting on the roofs to be rescued, then there is fear of famine and for example in the province of Camarines Sur food and water are scarce and many areas remain completely submerged and inaccessible, then the provinces of Batangas and Bicol have been severely hit by the vortex and they are still trying to dig in the mud with makeshift means to look for missing people due to landslides and in general the roads are often impassable due to fallen trees and debris of all kinds.

Bad weather over the Philippines and Indonesia

A tropical storm affects large areas of the Philippines, with consequent landslides and floods, there is talk of thousands of people forced to leave their homes others who have had to climb on roofs to avoid being swept away by the rivers of water that have formed in the streets. As for Indonesia two weeks of intense rainfall would have caused flooding in central areas of the Kalimantan regency, eighty-eight thousand people affected by bad weather. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Sicily region in Italy despite the rains the water emergency remains; in fact, it seems that is not possible to channel the water into the reservoirs and in addition to the inconvenience for the population due to the scarcity of drinking water, some construction sites are at a standstill as they cannot operate in the absence of sufficient water resources.

Flood damage in Emilia Romagna region in Italy

The companies that had been flooded a short time ago and last year are again more or less in the same conditions due to the wave of bad weather that has affected Italy, there is talk of one victim and three thousand displaced people near Bologna, a city where water and mud from the buried canals are still shoveled. As far as damage it is estimated that this year's with also the previous floods is close to or reaches as sums to be allocated for repairs those required last year to cope with the flood, damage then for example also in Sicily and Basilicata. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the hurricane called "Oscar", characterized by wind gusts that reach one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour is affecting the island already tried by continuous interruptions in the supply of electricity.

Poor health status of surface waters in Europe

Due to climate change, pollution (for example coal use, car emissions and pesticide), degraded habitat and unregulated use of water resources only about one third of surface waters in Europe would enjoy a good health or high ecological status, which would be a measure related to the health of the aquatic ecosystem; at least from what emerges from the data of an environmental agency that warns of how this is an unprecedented challenge, then there is talk of reducing water consumption as a priority as well as restoring ecosystems. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the wave of bad weather that hit Liguria region in Italy with flooding and landslides, particularly affected Albenga and Finale Ligure, then it seems that almost a waterfall formed from a bridge between Varazze and Arenzano.

Remains of a hurricane reach France

The "Kirk" hurricane, significantly weakened, affected areas in the south of France causing one victim, then there is talk of interruption of the electricity supply and flooded roads due to torrential rainfall; damage previously also in Portugal and Spain with uprooted trees. In Italy one person is missing due to the flooding of the Piave river in Veneto region, the level of the rivers monitored in Trentino and Liguria regions is high. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes of the victims (at a boarding house) in Florida due to dozens of tornadoes caused by Hurricane "Milton", the authorities warn people who did not want to leave their homes not to move because the weather conditions are prohibitive and it would also be difficult to intervene for any rescue, two million users without electricity supply.

Heated discussions around the COP29 conference

While discussions continue among states that will participate in the COP29 conference on the reduction of polluting emissions in Azerbaijan in Baku, for example around the allocations to be allocated to developing nations affected by climate change that it has not caused, some say that perhaps we are already looking at the next COP30 to be held in Brazil and that now we find ourselves practically on the same low-profile line as the last COP28 in Dubai, defined as decidedly not very incisive. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues evacuations in Florida due to the arrival of the potentially very dangerous category five hurricane called "Milton" just over a week after Hurricane "Helene" which left a trail of destruction in this state and in North Carolina there is still talk of places awaiting the intervention of rescue.

Difficulties in North Carolina hit by a strong hurricane

The search for victims in North Carolina presents considerable difficulties especially in the mountains in areas west of the American state; in fact, the "Helene" hurricane has made the roads unusable, damaged the energy network, the communications network and there is also a lack of water. The number of missing is not clear, then the death toll rose to over two hundred (between Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee) and a week after the strong vortex that recalls the trail of destruction left by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, efforts are still being made to organise relief, aid and reconstruction. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues evacuations as a precaution in Emilia Romagna even in the same areas hit hard by devastating floods in 2023, are talking about people exasperated by the precarious situation.

Torrential monsoon rains in Nepal

At least one hundred and seventy people have died in the Himalayan republic due to torrential monsoon rainfall with consequent devastating floods (the Bagmati river and part of its many tributaries have broken their banks), particularly affected the capital Kathmandu where entire blocks have been flooded with water, mud and debris. The highway that connects the big city with other important locations in the country was damaged. There is talk of people who had to jump from one roof to another until they found a suitable one to get down and save themselves without being dragged by the force of the mud, considerable damage to the capital and difficult intervention by rescuers. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes to report that the death toll from hurricane "Helene" in the United States has increased to almost one hundred.
