Rome poorly reconstructed with artificial intelligence A video showing ancient Rome reconstructed with generative artificial intelligence to bring the historical setting back to life with what appears to be accurate documentation actually contains gross errors, such as a Roman soldier wearing armor that does not match what is found in museum artifacts, then chariots with four wheels instead of two-wheeled chariots and monument architecture sometimes taken from images of the last century or with other types of inaccuracies. This at least according to researchers who watched the video online which promotes a so-called fascinating world of the Roman Empire in a way that changes one’s perception of ancient Roman life with incredible details. As in other cases of images generated by artificial intelligence applications it should be kept in mind that the machine cannot understand the true essence of the image and sees it as a set of numbers and algorithms. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 19, 2025

Discussions regarding electric car sales in Europe There have been various discussions following the presentation of a plan to postpone the decision to allow the sale of only electric cars from 2035, also permitting plug-in hybrids, hybrids, and even combustion engine cars (for a very small share) powered by eco-friendly fuels. Generally electric cars are much more efficient than combustion cars and have lower pollutant emissions if the energy supply chain for battery charging is clean; then the entire battery production chain must be clean and which is currently a significant issue. Other problems include the excessive weight of electric cars, often slow charging and some people complain that in the case of plug-in hybrids drivers sometimes tend to charge the battery very little for electric-only use and prefer fuel instead. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 18, 2025

New regulations for methane in Canada A gas like methane with a greenhouse effect eighty times more powerful than carbon dioxide in the first twenty years in the atmosphere in terms of warming potential is under the attention of Canadian authorities who are planning to introduce new regulations particularly to prevent leaks from the oil and gas extraction industry; then methane besides being one of the most potent pollutants is also harmful to human health due to components like ethane, propane, and butane which can cause cancer. By monitoring landfills it will be possible to capture methane emissions with regulations aiming to reduce emissions by one hundred million tons from 2026 to 2040. To report always in Canada on a related note but staying within environmental topics is also expecting more heavy rains in British Columbia which was recently affected by floods. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 17, 2025

Orangutan at risk in Sumatra after the floods The habitat of the Tapanuli orangutan would be significantly damaged in Sumatra in Indonesia in the Batang Toru region following the floods caused by cyclone "Senyar"; in fact, only around eight hundred individuals remain and losing even one represents a significant loss for the species and could theoretically lead to its extinction since maintaining a healthy population requires a certain number of animals. The devastation caused by the floods makes orangutans more vulnerable, food sources are less available and the places where the animals find shelter have been damaged or wiped out; moreover, environmentalists had previously reported disturbances caused by human industrial activities. Meanwhile a new cyclone that has already affected Bali and West Nusa Tenggara is approaching southern Indonesia prompting alerts. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 16, 2025

Floods in Morocco and Bolivia There are reportedly at least twenty-one victims and thirty-two injured in Morocco due to floods caused by torrential rainfall that affected the old town of the coastal city of Safi, three hundred and thirty kilometers from the capital Rabat, seventy homes and shops are said to have been damaged and roads in the Atlantic province of Safi became impassable and damaged. Just one hour of heavy rain was enough to flood the houses and weather forecasts predict more intense rainfall to come. but the country had been suffering from seven years of drought, which had emptied the main water basins, with scorching summers that had damaged crops and made working in the fields practically impossible. To report turning the attention to Bolivia that there are six victims and twenty people missing due to floods with muddy water and debris in the eastern areas of the country. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 15, 2025

Floods in Canada in areas of British Columbia Authorities in British Columbia have reportedly stated that it is time to take action after the floods in the Fraser Valley, which for some recalled the disastrous ones in 2021, with flooding from the Nooksack River in neighboring Washington state affecting hundreds of homes and farms, forcing school closures; then the main highway connecting Metro Vancouver with the rest of Canada was impassable, with entire areas resembling lakes. To report shifting the attention in the Gaza Strip complaints for the limited aid provided to the population affected by the floods caused by the storm "Byron"; in fact, the death toll is reported to have risen to sixteen (several children were frostbitten), with people finding themselves deprived of essential goods swept away by water and storms. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 13, 2025

High hydrogeological risk in Kalimantan in Indonesia Since about ninety percent of the thirteen thousand hectares of natural forests in Kalimantan have been cut down to supply the timber industry, mainly to produce pulpwood, there are fears that an ecological crisis could hit the island in the coming years and as recently happened with the cyclone "Senyar" deforestation greatly increased the hydrogeological instability of the area, then there are also complaints from environmentalists about the use of elephants, which are a protected species, almost as if they were types of bulldozers to move heavy debris brought by floods across large areas of Aceh. To report shifting attention to the Gaza Strip that the storm "Byron" caused fourteen deaths and flooded the fragile tent camps also significantly lowering temperatures, then it also appears that the collapsed buildings for conflicts where displaced people often take refuge were further damaged. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 12, 2025

Combination of climate change and monsoon rains Torrential rainfall whose effects are significantly amplified by climate change is a decidedly unhealthy combination that has led to unprecedented devastation in parts of Southeast Asia, with at least sixteen hundred casualties reported, then according to researchers regarding the Cyclone "Senyar" over the Strait of Malacca warming in north of the Indian Ocean (caused by unregulated use of fossil fuels) added heat and moisture to the storm. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural topics that the Gaza Strip is about to be affected by Storm "Byron" which had already caused damage, for example in Puglia region in Italy and Greece, according to weather forecasts in addition to heavy rain and strong gusts of wind hail could also occur on the fragile tent camps of the displaced. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 11, 2025

Possible aftershocks in Japan After the magnitude 7.5 earthquake with an epicenter in the Pacific Ocean about eighty kilometers from the coast of Aomori in the northernmost prefecture on the island of Honshu which recently shook Japan causing thirty-four injuries, one of them serious, with falling objects in homes and other damage (in a country generally used to dealing with this type of event) authorities have warned the population that aftershocks may occur and to take preventive precautions. There have been reports of power outages and suspensions of high-speed railway lines. To report on a different note but still related to natural phenomena the alarming retreat of glaciers recently monitored in Italy, particularly the dire situation of the Adamello glacier which is now at its final stages. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 10, 2025

Fires in New South Wales in Australia More than sixty fires have affected thousands of hectares in New South Wales about forty-five kilometers north of Sydney Australia’s largest city, with reports of several destroyed homes, important infrastructure damaged, put crops and national parks at risk, and authorities fear a challenging fire season after a relatively calm period. To report changing the subject but still focusing on environmental issues as in Indonesia there are reportedly protests over areas affected by floods that have been left without aid, with extremely difficult living conditions, particularly in Aceh which has remained isolated; then is also noted that an ecosystem degraded by deforestation and soil depletion has worsened the devastation, and that measures such as restoring proper rainfall cycles and vegetation along riverbanks should be taken. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 09, 2025
