Possibility of a major earthquake in Japan Although it is not possible to predict earthquakes some Japanese researchers speculate about the possibility of a strong earthquake after a magnitude 7.1 earthquake three days ago shook the south of the island of Kyushu in the south country causing eight injuries using a monitoring system set up after the devastating earthquake of 2011 (which caused the serious atomic accident of Fukushima with the meltdown of three reactors putting the whole world at risk). Resting on four major tectonic plates the Japanese archipelago could be hit by a so-called "megaearthquake" with a seventy percent probability in the next thirty years and a death toll of three hundred thousand in the worst hypothesized scenario. Generally for example it happens that after a strong shock another one or seismic swarm occurs to discharge the energy accumulated underground, but this does not always happen. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 09, 2024

 A tropical storm heads towards Georgia After causing at least four deaths in Florida due to torrential rainfall and subsequent flooding, as well as gusts of wind, power outages and damage, tropical storm "Debby" is heading very slowly towards Georgia and South Carolina, although it is not excluded that other floods in Florida are possible. Initially the hurricane (defined as capable of causing historic and potentially unprecedented flooding) and then downgraded had evacuated low-lying areas in coastal areas and now the authorities warn to wait before returning to homes because the sea level is still high due to the action of the strong vortex. Some events previously scheduled also at the national level in Georgia have been canceled, then there is talk of many utilities temporarily without power. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 06, 2024 n°: 5715 High temperatures in Morocco and North Africa There would be over twenty-one victims recently in Morocco in the city of Beni Mellal according to the authorities due to a heat wave with temperature peaks of over forty-eight degrees Celsius as well as a prolonged drought that has been affecting the country for some time heavily damaging crops and making work in the fields very difficult or almost impossible and the situation is not much better in Algeria and Tunisia. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the theme that has now become almost obsolete on the depletion of the planet's resources announced two days ago and on the fact that it will be necessary to affect the naturalistic capital to move forward perhaps continuing for example to quietly consume meat every day, processed foods, purchase polluting plastic clothes, take the plane, smoke, waste water and various fossil fuels. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 03, 2024 n°: 5713 Still in trouble in China for Gaemi typhoon The heavy rainfall that characterized typhoon "Gaemi" in China even if downgraded to a tropical storm swollen the rivers and worried the authorities in some cases, twenty-seven thousand people had been evacuated in the north-east of the country and thousands of activities were suspended and there were cloudbursts on the border with North Korea (then there was recently talk of a landslide that had caused fifteen victims in a tourist mountainous area). The strong vortex had also headed towards central areas of the country causing damage and inconvenience to the population. It should be noted that in Canada the city of Jasper has been partially affected and damaged by fires (with some buildings reduced to ashes) even if the firefighters claim that the prevention carried out in decades of interventions would have avoided much greater damage saving about seventy percent of the city. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 30, 2024 n°: 5709 Doubts about the sustainability of the Olympics Although the French authorities have declared that the Paris Olympics will be much more sustainable than past recent editions some doubts arise about how much a type of international event that requires an impressive organization can be sustainable, then in theory it should be an example of respect for ecology but just think of all the spectators who will travel by plane from various countries of the world to attend the competitions to understand what the reality will be environmental impact. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the alarming drought that is emptying the reservoirs of Sicily, Puglia, Molise regions in Italy and are talking about three weeks before they are completely emptied (between leaks, waste, unused water works, obsolete technologies); then the situation is little better in other regions of the South and now also of the Center of the country. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 27, 2024 n°: 5707 Landslides in northern Vietnam due to heavy rainfall Three people are reportedly killed, five missing due to heavy rainfall due to a tropical depression with consequent landslides and floods in the province of Son la in northern Vietnam; there is also talk of injuries with rescuers looking for the missing in difficulty because it is still raining, then some areas are completely submerged (some speak of having been surprised by a sea of water and having only had time to escape from home). To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the enormous amount of energy released into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial era and especially in recent decades which is causing incredible climatic and naturalistic upheavals considering also that a few days ago it was the hottest day on average in the world ever recorded and the sea is reaching record temperatures. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 25, 2024 n°: 5705 Fire in Jasper National Park in Canada The authorities would have declared an emergency with an evacuation order for residents in the area affected by several outbreaks that are burning vegetation in Jasper National Park in Canada including the inhabitants of the city of Jasper warning that various highways and roads have been closed, then there is talk of thousands of evacuations in northern Alberta and for days the wind has been fueling about three hundred fires in British Columbia and there are also fears for the arrival of a strong storm that could make the situation worse. To be noted changing scenery but remaining on naturalistic themes the marine heat wave that is affecting the Mediterranean with for example inconvenience for vacationers on the coasts of Croatia forced to swim in the evening hours due to the temperatures of thirty degrees Celsius of the sea and forty degrees environmental during the day. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 23, 2024 n°: 5703 Coping with high temperatures in Europe Due to the heat wave that is affecting Europe and in particular the areas to the south and east there are interruptions in the supply of electricity for the use of refrigerating appliances, then there is talk of numerous fires; therefore it would be necessary to strengthen the electricity grids so as to be able to absorb consumption peaks and organize teams of firefighters capable of dealing with the fires. In Greece the authorities have closed the Acropolis to visits during the hottest hours, warning tourists to take precautions in a city gripped by the grip of the heat that reaches forty degrees Celsius and leaves no respite even on nights at thirty degrees that do not allow to sleep. Heat waves in Europe will become increasingly frequent and prolonged with a consequent strong impact for example on soils that risk quickly losing vital moisture due to heat and strong solar radiation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 19, 2024 n°: 5700 Rotational motion of the Earth slowed down These are a few milliseconds of slowing around the Earth's axis that could be underestimated, but according to the researchers they make a difference in communications in space and for other various precision measurements. It is the melting of the ice of the polar ice caps due to global warming that causes this slowdown a bit like what happens figuratively to a skater who rotating on himself with his arms close to his body in a pirouette then widens them by slowing them down. In theory with days even if slightly longer the effects of a warmer climate intensify, then it is estimated that this slowdown will increase by the end of the century exceeding the gravitational influence of the Moon in magnitude which causes a small deceleration of a few milliseconds that can be calculated in millions of years. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 16, 2024 n°: 5697 Storm with floods in Tibet A stretch of a highway would have been swept away by a storm with subsequent flooding in an area of Chinese Tibet on the border with Nepal, there is talk of one hundred and thirty people trapped in sections of this highway that leads to remote Tibetan cities; then many people were evacuated and taken to safety. Recently heavy rainfall in China had caused various damages including the collapse of a section of a dam. To be noted changing the scenario but remaining on naturalistic issues the heat wave that is affecting Italy due to an anticyclone of African origin with temperatures even above forty Celsius degrees in some places in the south of the peninsula and the scarcity of water reserves in Greek islands, as for example happened in that of Naxos where the authorities have imposed restrictions and attempts are being made to install a desalination unit. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 11, 2024 n°: 5693 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
