Pipeline rupture in Ecuador

The Ecuadorian authorities who had declared a state of emergency over the rupture of an oil pipeline in the northwest of the country have reportedly declared that the situation has worsened; in fact, it seems that hundreds of thousands of users cannot use the water due to the pollution of the Esmeraldas river which has become very dark in color due to the spillage of a lot of oil for a landslide from the large pipeline (Ecuadorian Pipeline System SOTE); there are also fears of environmental disaster despite the fact that the pipeline has been closed to carry out repairs. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues of the floods in Spain in Andalusia due to intense rainfall and cloudbursts with inconvenience for the population in the areas affected by flooding that sometimes forced rescuers to emergency interventions in flooded houses.

Bad weather in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany in Italy

Floods and landslides have affected areas of Emilia Romagna and Tuscany regions, there is talk of red alert, isolated families and evacuations; then the level of the Arno river is high with schools closed in Florence and fears of flooding in Pisa. Various locations have been affected due to hydrogeological instability, particularly affected for example Brisighella and Sesto Fiorentino; generally damage to flooded crops and complained about by the inhabitants who find themselves with flooded houses, it also happens that private land practically acts as expansion basins absorbing water but quickly reaching the point of saturation. To be noted changing the subject a 4.7 magnitude earthquake in the province of Foggia in Puglia region that caused buildings to sway even in Bari and many places without causing damage (although checks are still in progress) and a magnitude 3.5 quake at Campi Flegrei.

Eruption of a volcano in Guatemala

Columns of incandescent volcanic ash and gas come out of the crater of the Fuego volcano in Guatemala, there is talk of three hundred families evacuated and thousands of people to whom the authorities have sent a warning to be ready to leave their homes to manage the emergency. People claim to be on alert because of volcanic material reaching homes, then several fronts of incandescent lava are seen descending from the slopes of the volcano. It should be noted changing the scenario that in the Campi Flegrei near Pozzuoli and near Naples due to the phenomenon of bradyseism the ground would now be rising by three centimeters per month, also monitored an earthquake of magnitude three; for some time the volcanic caldera has been showing signs of activity with understandable concerns for the local population who often complain about the poor anti-seismic safety of buildings.

Questionable U.S. positions on climate change

Nations vulnerable to climate change had been supported by aid initiatives from two hundred countries decided during a COP28 conference in 2023, for what had been declared as a kind of victory for developing countries to deal with extreme phenomena, now apparently the United States has decided to no longer fund these initiatives. This is in line with the questionable positions already widely declared by the authorities of not believing in climate change, which are fictions; but for countries that do not have the means for repairs after being hit by extreme phenomena it is a struggle for survival. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the floods that are affecting areas of Morocco due to days of intense rainfall, inconvenience for the population and some even speak of victims.

Re-establishing a healthy ecosystem in the Niger Delta

In Nigeria, in the Niger River delta polluted by decades of fossil fuel exploitation, ecologists would be engaged in interventions that aim to restore the original flora, in particular mangrove forests essential for a healthy ecosystem and ensure the survival of local communities, especially in very degraded areas where biodiversity is seriously threatened. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, the solutions that some suggest to form glaciers to accumulate water reserves for the summer months should be noted, in practice it would be enough to channel streams of water on land (statics permitting) where the temperature remains very low so that layers of ice are formed, then gradually the subsequent layers will consolidate until they form a glacier; then just cover with natural insulating material.

Floods in Jakarta in Indonesia

Days of heavy rainfall with consequent flooding have forced thousands of people to leave their homes in Indonesia's capital Jakarta, then more intense rains are expected in the coming days. There is talk of submerged roads where rescue must be brought with rubber dinghies, while the authorities plan to activate pumps to extract water from flooded areas, then evacuation centers have been set up and basic necessities have been distributed to the rescued people; difficulties due to flooding also in the hospital in the city of Bekasi forcing the evacuation of patients. It is worth mentioning the change of flooding scenery also in the Canary Islands due to intense cloudbursts with roads transformed into torrents of water and mud with difficulties and inconvenience for the population.

A cyclone threatens Mauritius and La Reunion

After the authorities warned the residents of the Indian Ocean islands Mauritius and La Reunion (famous tourist destinations) of the danger posed by the arrival of the cyclone called "Garance" category three characterized by wind gusts of over two hundred kilometers per hour, the alert level would have been raised, especially for the island of La Reunion in French overseas territory. Airports and schools have been closed and the population is invited to stay indoors, many inhabitants have stockpiled food and reinforced their homes, fishermen have brought boats to port. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a conference was held in Rome to allocate resources for a nature protection project given that there would only be five years left to try to stem the continuous loss of biodiversity.

The so-called third pole in considerable suffering

After the Arctic and Antarctica, the largest volumes of ice would be found among the peaks of the Hindu Kush in the Himalayas and for this reason it can be considered a kind of third pole of the planet that extends for three thousand five hundred kilometers and eight countries, from Afghanistan to Myanmar; but climate change is causing an accelerated melting of the ice with warming about three times compared to global averages and therefore considerable suffering for the entire vast area affected and serious consequences on biodiversity as well as a decrease in water, energy and food resources. Given the situation, international organizations propose 2025 as the year for the preservation of glaciers, much depends on how intense warming will be in the coming decades with estimates generally not very comforting due to human lifestyles that are decidedly not very ecological.

Heat wave in Brazil

With temperatures between forty and forty-four degrees Celsius recorded in areas of Brazil there is talk of a suffocating heat and many people in Rio de Janeiro have had heat strokes and illness, the beaches are crowded to find some relief even if it seems that you have to go in the evening hours because during the day the beating sun is always unpleasant, then refrigerated centers and points where you can rehydrate were opened. A samba school event on Copacabana beach was cancelled due to excessive heat. It should be noted that Japan would be willing to cut greenhouse gas emissions by sixty percent over the next decade compared to 2013 levels, the country very dependent on fossil fuels is the fifth largest global polluter after China, United States, India and Russia.

Flooding in Kentucky in the United States

At least nine people are said to have died in Kentucky due to flooding caused by intense rainfall, there is talk of one hundred and twenty counties flooded and a state of emergency has been declared; over a thousand people who risked being overwhelmed by the rivers of water were rescued by rescuers. Some speak of historic flooding just two years after an extreme event of the same type that caused even more serious damage, then there are fears that other floods could occur in southern Kentucky. To report shifting the attention to Italy a magnitude 3.9 shock at the Campi Flegrei defined by the inhabitants as strong and prolonged also felt in Naples, then on Etna the magma that comes out of the volcano has reached a road also used by rescue vehicles as well as hikers, in contact with the snow mini explosions can occur.
