Torrential rains with flooding in Malaysia At least three people have been killed and eighty thousand people evacuated due to torrential rainfall and consequent flooding in several states of Malaysia, the worst according to the authorities in a decade; particularly affected by the wave of bad weather are the north-east, the state of Kelantan on the border with Thailand and the state of Terengganu. Rescuers are working to bring aid to the affected populations and hundreds of temporary evacuation centers have been set up in seven states. Damage is expected perhaps even worse than in 2014 when about two hundred and fifty thousand people were forced to leave their homes and the situation is judged severe, then there is talk of trains suspended on the east coast. The monsoon rains in general affect the Malaysian peninsula in the period from October to March, but are becoming increasingly intense. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 29, 2024

 Torrential rains in North Sumatra in Indonesia At least twenty people would be dead and five missing in North Sumatra due to torrential rainfall with consequent floods and landslides, particularly affected the district of Karo with areas overwhelmed by a kind of mountain of mud and debris; then there is also talk of the district of Deli Serdang hit by muddy masses, large stones and rocks. Rescuers are working to bring help, but there is often no electricity and communications are also difficult. To be noted changing the scenery but remaining on naturalistic issues the heavy rains that affected the Gaza Strip in Palestine with floods also because the sewers do not work due to the conflict affecting the area, considerable inconvenience for the people who live in the camps set up with makeshift tents, then often there is also a lack of food, water and basic necessities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 26, 2024 n°: 5809 Study on factors related to global warming According to the researchers in addition to the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels there may also be other factors that are not yet well known that favor further global warming, since if last year global average temperatures were just under one and a half degrees Celsius of increase compared to the pre-industrial global average from 1850 to 1900, now the calculations are on a warming trajectory well above one and a half degrees for 2024. It is hypothesized that could play a role a peak in the solar cycle of eleven years, then the reduction in the concentration of sulphur dioxide that reflecting solar radiation, the eruption of a volcano in the southern Pacific Ocean in 2022; although usually factors of this type on a global scale contribute very minimally and it is still recommended to redouble the efforts to contain the polluting emissions. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 23, 2024 n°: 5807 A cyclone affects British Columbia in Canada A cyclone compared to a hurricane is lashing the coasts of British Columbia and Vancouver Island with strong gusts of wind at over one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, there is talk of some schools and highways closed, many ferries connections canceled or suspended, interruptions in the supply of electricity in the areas affected by the cyclone; then the authorities warn the population to take the necessary measures to deal with the situation since the strong vortex is heading towards the interior of the country, This is the second extreme phenomenon of this type on the southern coasts of British Columbia in a week. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that some denounce the lack of conversations about the transition to renewable energy at COP29 at a considered relevant moment in the discussions. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 20, 2024 n°: 5804 Little consensus to promote climate agreements At a G20 conference held in Rio de Janeiro, divergences seem to have emerged on how to deal with global climate change, while some implore the countries that are home to the richest economies to increase the funds allocated to developing countries affected by the damage and extreme phenomena that are putting a strain on their economies (without most of the time being responsible for it or if they are for a very small if not negligible percentage). To be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues at least eight victims, damage and considerable inconvenience for the population in the Philippines due to the super typhoon called "Man-yi"; then in India in New Delhi there is talk of unbreathable air and hospitalizations on the rise with fine dust pollution sixty times the maximum recommended levels, also canceled many flights. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 19, 2024 n°: 5803 Excessive methane leaks especially in Romania According to some methane leaks into the atmosphere due to the extraction of fossil fuels are excessive in many of the countries that accepted in 2021 during COP26 the proposal to limit methane emissions by thirty percent by 2030 compared to 2020 levels, apparently this is especially the case in Romania. It must be borne in mind that in part the climate crisis is not only caused by carbon dioxide, but also by methane which would be eighty-four times more powerful in terms of effects on the greenhouse effect (not to mention nitrous oxide, about three hundred times more powerful as a climate-changing gas than CO2). To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the complaints about the work of the authorities of the region of Valencia in Spain affected by floods followed by "blame-shifting" statements regarding the responsibilities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 16, 2024 n°: 5801 Severe weather warning in Spain After the disastrous flood in the region of Valencia due to storm "Dana" (due to the so-called cold drop phenomenon) which caused over two hundred and twenty-four victims and twenty-eight missing two weeks ago, there is talk of a new weather alert and in particular Andalusia and the Balearic Islands could be affected; then some Spanish authorities declared during the COP29 conference that is being held in Baku in Azerbaijan what the impact of climate change on the country is. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the recent earthquake of magnitude 6.8 that shook Santiago de Cuba, the second largest city in Cuba, causing damage to fragile and old houses and infrastructures that would require maintenance, as well as landslides and inconveniences in the affected areas often already in difficulty because they were previously affected by hurricanes. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 13, 2024 n°: 5798 Deforestation slightly decreased in the Amazon Monitoring the area views according to Brazilian authorities deforestation in the Amazon has decreased by almost a third since August 2023, the best result in nine years, but this still means that over six thousand two hundred square kilometers of forest have gone up in smoke. The rate of destruction of the vegetation of the Cerrado in central Brazil, the most species-rich savannah in the world, has also decreased. Generally the practice of deforestation is caused by the demand for land for intensive cultivation and breeding, timber exploitation and mining, then urban expansion. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a fire in California near Los Angeles, with many people forced to leave their homes for example in Camarillo, then in Ventura County a state of emergency was declared in the affected areas. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 08, 2024 n°: 5794 CO2 and other climate-changing gases in spotlight After carbon dioxide, methane CH4 is also mentioned as one of the worst greenhouse gases, which would have an effect on global warming eighty times compared to CO2 (over a period of twenty years), while that of nitrous oxide N2O is three hundred times. Since in 2023 the concentrations of these three gases in the atmosphere have reached new records, it is expected that in the future temperatures will probably continue to rise at a faster pace than they have been so far and how a solution should be found to this problem that risks not achieving the goal of keeping global temperatures under control. Of note the complaints in Colombia about the scarce resources allocated at COP16 to preserve biodiversity, it seems that many rich countries have poor contributed and the U.S. does not participate. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 06, 2024 n°: 5792 Volcanic eruption on Flores Island in Indonesia At least six people would be killed due to several volcanic eruptions of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki on the popular tourist island of Flores in Indonesia in East Nusa Tenggara, there is also talk of evacuations of several villages affected by the arrival of lava, due to the fall of volcanic ash and incandescent rocks from the column that rises above the volcano. There is also talk of damaged and burned houses and a layer of volcanic material near the villages. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that in Spain in the region of Valencia it is feared that there are over dozens missing, among the places particularly affected by the searches a large underground parking in the shopping center of Aldaia flooded and submerged by water and mud and it is difficult for the person trapped in their cars can be saved. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 04, 2024 n°: 5790 Various and natural * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
