Extreme events that exceed human defenses According to experts even in countries that enjoy relative well-being such as Spain, extreme events caused by climate change exceed human defenses and the measures that are being taken to deal with them, given what happened in the Valencia region with over one hundred and fifty victims and dozens of missing due to floods and landslides; but some complain that excessive overbuilding, poor water maintenance as well as delays in activating warnings and alarms may have played a role in what is considered a real disaster for the country. It also seems that people do not know what to do in case of floods and even if warned they do not know how to get to safety and the rescue mechanism should be strengthened; in fact, it seems that there were people who clung to trees and railings for hours before someone saved them. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 31, 2024

 Study on relationship between ice melt and eruptions Starting from data relating to the melting of ice in Iceland that could cause possible eruptions, a study hypothesizes that climate change could cause a new era characterized by eruptions in the coming decades, for example if this were to happen in Antarctica where volcanoes abound under a thick layer of ice; then triggering a mechanism that feeds itself with continuous rise in the seas with heavy consequences on coastal cities. In practice, if an eruption caused sea levels to rise even slightly, it would end up contributing to intensifying the extreme effects of climate change. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the wave of bad weather that affected Liguria and Sardinia regions in Italy with cloudbursts and floods, there is talk of one missing in Arenzano and one near Cagliari, then also alert in Piedmont. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 28, 2024 n°: 5785 In future no more electronic cigarettes in England It seems that it was mainly environmental reasons that led the British authorities to decide to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes from a date set for about the middle of next year; In fact, the large amount of these electronic devices thrown on the streets had become an ecological problem given the presence of small lithium batteries inside them, so much so that assembled together they could in theory ensure the traction of many electric cars. (Proposals also for the restriction of the sale of "polluting" traditional cigarettes). It should be noted that a tropical storm is affecting large areas of India starting from the Bay of Bengal, particularly affected the Odisha; there is talk of hundreds of thousands of people evacuated, schools closed in the affected areas and considerable inconvenience for the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 25, 2024 n°: 5783 A hurricane lashes the island of Cuba There would be six victims with many homes damaged in Cuba due to the hurricane called "Oscar" characterized by gusts of wind, heavy rains and floods while there is talk of considerable inconvenience in the capital Havana even if the continuous interruptions in the supply of electricity have been partially resolved (but in the rest of the country the complaints continue). The authorities are trying to cope with the situation by having scarce resources also due to a prolonged economic crisis and it is not possible to solve the structural energy shortage with power lines often damaged by extreme weather phenomena. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the wave of bad weather that is affecting Italy has recently hit the Calabria region and in particular areas in the province of Catanzaro with cloudbursts and consequent floods. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 22, 2024 n°: 5780 Vanuatu emissions compared to Australian emissions The Vanuatu Islands would have released about one hundred and twenty thousand tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2020 (less than 0.02 percent of global emissions) compared to almost three hundred and eighty million tons of Australia, so with other Pacific islands they continue their legal actions to safeguard their nations, but it is estimated that the ocean level will rise by at least fifteen centimeters in the next thirty years and ninety percent of the population live within five kilometers of the coast with inevitable growing concern. Vanuatu, Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea and Tuvalu should be a case to keep in mind in order to leverage the change needed to tackle the global warming, also considering that they are nations that have contributed minimally to fueling it while suffering the greatest consequences. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 19, 2024 n°: 5778 Reconstruction with criteria after floods After a building has been flooded or a house damaged by floods, there is a tendency to rebuild or repair them as they were before, but this habit must change, at least according to researchers who argue that we could soon find ourselves in the same conditions (if not worse since emissions are still increasing instead of decreasing). Sometimes are forced by regulations and various contracts made to protect the property, but it is clear that in the event of a new flood the costs of dealing with the situation will recur and will be increasingly burdensome; so it is undoubtedly adapting buildings to climate change. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the recent torrential rainfall in Marrakesh in Morocco is worth mentioning, there is talk of roads transformed into torrents and considerable inconvenience for the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 14, 2024 n°: 5773 Damage due to a hurricane in Florida There would be over ten victims in Florida due to hurricane "Milton", but there is talk of a provisional toll while it is estimated that the damage is considerable even if some say less than expected, from satellite the vortex seemed frightening in size but when it touched the ground it lost power, the gusts of wind still exceeded two hundred kilometers per hour with torrential rainfall that flooded the roads and inevitable inconvenience for the population; then houses destroyed, roofs uncovered or damaged, trees uprooted. To be noted shifting the attention to other scenarios, the wave of bad weather in Lombardy region in Italy with flooding and landslides, while in the southern regions an anomalous heat is expected in the coming days for the season with temperatures well over thirty degrees Celsius due to the arrival of an African anticyclone. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 11, 2024 n°: 5771 More and more hurricanes will form in Gulf of Mexico Temperatures monitored in summer in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico would have reached a record in August and according to researchers more and more hurricanes will form due to this anomalous warming caused by an uncontrolled use of fossil fuels and faster and faster. In practice with twenty-five degrees Celsius a hurricane is unlikely to form, with twenty-seven it is more likely and with the current thirty it could be the norm and therefore also in the future. Six million people have left Florida to avoid being hit by the now Category four hurricane "Milton", which has an unusual trajectory and may be heading toward Tampa Bay. Changing the subject to report the wave of bad weather in northern regions of Italy, while Sicily is still struggling with low rainfall and complaints from the population in some centers about the lack of drinking water. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 09, 2024 n°: 5769 Beach at night in Dubai due to excessive heat Temperatures in Dubai frequently reach forty degrees Celsius, often with high humidity, and the beaches are too fiery to be frequented, so illuminated stretches would have been set up to allow bathers access at night, then there are also lifeguards equipped with binoculars that allow night vision and nets in the sea against sharks; is talking about over a million people who have visited the more than eight hundred meters of beaches equipped for night use with temperatures that drop to about thirty-two degrees. The working conditions in Dubai during the day with that heat are very difficult and workers can find a moment of leisure and recovery from prohibitive temperatures, then even the many tourists who visit the big city famous for its sumptuous skyscrapers and illuminated water features can find relief from the excessive heat. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 07, 2024 n°: 5767 Typhoon approaches Taiwan After lashing the remote islands of the Philippines causing eight injuries and one missing and over five thousand four hundred evacuations in areas to the north of the country, the typhoon called "Krathon", characterized by wind gusts of over two hundred kilometers per hour, is approaching Taiwan very slowly. The authorities have reportedly closed schools and financial markets as well as evacuated more than ten thousand people from the most vulnerable areas as a precaution and warn tourists to watch out for any high waves even if according to the weather forecast the strong vortex will lose power touching land passing into a tropical depression. Shifting attention to the United States to report that is approaching to one hundred and fifty the death toll of hurricane "Helene", it is also worth mentioning the financial burden on the private insurance sector given the large sum to be allocated to repair the damage. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oxt 02, 2024 n°: 5763 Various and natural * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
