Floods in Nigeria, Chad and South Sudan At least thirty people have died and four hundred thousand have been displaced in Nigeria due to the collapse of a dam in the north-east of the country, particularly affected by the city of Maiduguri, flooded for about forty percent with people forced to move with difficulty in partially submerged houses and streets. As far as Chad is talking about weeks of intense rainfall with consequent heavy floods with a death toll that exceeds three hundred and forty people starting from July and one and a half million people affected by torrential rains; instead in South Sudan over seven hundred thousand. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, it should be noted that the death toll of typhoon "Yagi" in Thailand has risen to eight and over two hundred in Vietnam, it then seems that climate change favors the formation of typhoons closer to coastal areas. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 12, 2024

 Difficulties in northern Vietnam hit by typhoon Fifty-eight people are said to have died and forty are missing in northern Vietnam due to typhoon "Yagi", then there is talk of torrential rainfall with consequent flooding and landslides, a collapsed bridge, uprooted trees, hospitals lashed by the strong vortex damaged and left without electricity supply; Cao Bang province was particularly affected. Inconvenience for the population in the areas affected by the typhoon with damage to agricultural and aquaculture production, often left without drinking water and the possibility of communicating. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the smoke from the fires that are devouring the forests in the Amazon reaches large cities such as Sao Paulo (among the most polluted cities in the world) and Rio de Janeiro, then the authorities of Argentina and Uruguay have declared that the smoke also reaches their countries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 10, 2024 n°: 5744 A super typhoon lashes China Two people would be killed, dozens injured and over four hundred thousand people evacuated to the island of Hainan in southern China (where there are popular tourist destinations) due to the super typhoon "Yagi", also called Enteng by the locals, which with wind gusts that exceeded two hundred and forty kilometers per hour was classified as the second most powerful tropical cyclone of the year. There is also talk of torrential rainfall with damage and inconvenience for the population, also affected by the strong vortex the Guangdong; the authorities who had already given instructions for evacuations have also sent rescue. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that a study in Canada would have shown that the industry related to the cutting of trees to obtain timber is the third for CO2 emissions for the country's economy. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 07, 2024 n°: 5742 A typhoon heads towards China The tropical storm "Yagi", after lashing the Philippines causing casualties, damage and leaving mounds of mud and debris in the affected areas that the population is still shoveling is heading towards China and has gained strength off Vietnam; now the strong vortex is classified as a typhoon and according to weather forecasts it is heading towards the Chinese island of Hainan (with winds of over one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour and wind gusts that could reach two hundred and twenty) and then enter the Gulf of Tonkin, where it will perhaps weaken slightly. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the recent cloudburst that affected Rome, there is talk of damage to the Arch of Constantine with two blocks of travertine collapsed due to a lightning strike that would have hit the metal scaffolding used for the restoration of the well-known valuable monument. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 05, 2024 n°: 5740 Few funds for countries affected by climate crises The resources made available to developing countries in order to enable them to cope with climate change for which they are minimally responsible and sometimes severely affected by extreme events that were unthinkable until a few years ago are scarce, at least according to a document that should be presented in Baku next month which shows different positions taken by rich countries three months after the COP29 meeting in Azerbaijan (a country with large economic interests linked to the exploitation of fossil fuels) in which an agreement will have to be found. There is talk of trying to bridge the various demands, for example the European Union requires that China, being the world's largest polluter and the second largest economy, contribute to increase the available resources despite being classified among the developing countries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 02, 2024 n°: 5737 Calculation of CO2 wildfires emissions in Canada Only India, China and the United States would have released more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than the amount of climate-changing gas released by the fires of the boreal forests in Canada last year, at least according to a study that shows that these fires to the detriment of vegetation have reached records well above those monitored in previous years due especially to an increasingly hot and dry climate that favors the advance of fires, with not very comforting forecasts for the coming decades from this point of view; then this type of emissions had not been taken into account by the Paris agreements to prevent global temperatures from rising above one and a half degrees Celsius. Emissions from human activities should be balanced with the ability of forests (and seas) to absorb them, but this goal now does not seem achievable. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 30, 2024 n°: 5735 Wave of bad weather in Italy After affecting the northern regions and in particular Lombardy where there have been for example hailstorms with large grains, the wave of bad weather has moved to the south, there is talk of two missing in the province of Caserta with roads transformed into torrents due to cloudbursts, then cars dragged by mud and some houses evacuated, inconveniences also in several areas of the Campania region. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the umpteenth alarm given at a conference in the Tonga islands by international authorities regarding the rise in the level of the Oceans with disastrous consequences for all the islands of the Pacific and with increasing rates of rise that can only bring a strong imbalance to all the ecosystems of the planet, a global disaster as is well known caused by the uncontrolled and uncontrolled use of fossil fuels to power human activities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 28, 2024 n°: 5733 Monsoon rain floods in Bangladesh Eighteen people are said to have died in Bangladesh due to floods due to monsoon rains and consequent landslides with almost three hundred thousand people forced to go to emergency shelters, the highway and the railway line between the capital Dhaka and the main port Chittagong are unusable hinder all the activities of this great economic center of the country also due to the difficulties in accessing the flooded districts. In Bangladesh the impact of floods from monsoon rains is becoming increasingly severe due to climate change; particularly affected for example the Cox's Bazaar area where about a million Rohingya from neighboring Myanmar find refuge. Floods are also worth mentioning in India with twenty-four victims again due to monsoon rains (which have long affected the country defined as of unprecedented intensity) and torrential rainfall in the Moluccas with damage and inconvenience for the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 26, 2024 n°: 5731 Rare extreme phenomenon causes a yacht to sink A large sailboat over fifty meters long and with a seventy-two mast sank causing one victim and six missing in the harbor of Porticello in the province of Palermo in Italy due to a rare extreme phenomenon caused by climate change, in figurative terms a "potential difference" between the very warm sea and a flow of cooler air passing over caused a sudden whirlwind with gale force winds that hit the sailing ship by breaking the mast causing it to capsize [.. intact mast, open porthole or keel, bottom impact, investigations?]; other whirlwinds have caused damage and inconvenience for example in Campania and Puglia regions. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, the recent gigantic fire against the forests around Izmir in the Aegean region, the third most populous city in Turkey, hundreds of evacuations before the flames were extinguished by many teams of firefighters. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 20, 2024 n°: 5726 Major fires near Athens in Greece The authorities have reportedly evacuated thousands of people and two hospitals due to large fires that are burning vegetation near Athens that have burned Mount Pentelico and heading towards Penteli; there is talk of many teams of firefighters employed to try to deal with the massive fires that have also burned hundreds of olive trees, also residents of historic Maraton town ordered to evacuate. SMS messages have been sent to the population in Attica to indicate the direction to follow to get away from the fires. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes it is worth mentioning the use to insulate houses in Taiwan as a kind of paint of the residues of the calcination of crumbled oyster shells (with a preliminary procedure of fine cleaning), this allows to keep houses cool in summer and warm in winter. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 12, 2024 n°: 5720 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
