Last days of water for Tehran in Iran It is estimated that there are about nine days of water left in the reserves of the city of Tehran which has ten million inhabitants and Iranian authorities if it does not rain will have to evacuate the capital due to a water emergency that some describe as national and extraordinary, trying to find a place to host citizens. Controversy surrounds how the reserves have been managed, with an outdated water distribution network, decades of over-pumping water and unrestrained use of the remaining water, so much so that the example of Cape Town in South Africa is mentioned, which in 2015 facing a severe water crisis managed within less than two years to reduce water consumption by about fifty percent by planning measures such as increasing recycling, transparency in usage, fixing leaks, public education, and setting a realistic price for water resources. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 14, 2025

 Demand for fossil fuels could remain high A rapid shift to cleaner energy was expected but it seems that demand for fossil fuels could remain high, at least according to statements from an international energy agency which also highlights how climate targets for emissions reduction may not be achieved, for example with the United States intending to further increase oil and gas production. It is generally estimated that oil production will reach one hundred thirteen million barrels by 2050 which is thirteen percent more than in 2024. Recently there was much debate during the COP30 climate conference in Brazil about the authorization to exploit deposits about five hundred kilometers off the coast from the mouth of the Amazon River for a large field that could make the country a major oil exporter. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 13, 2025

Difficulties in Jamaica due to a hurricane The death toll in Jamaica would have risen to at least forty-five, with fifteen missing due to the hurricane named "Melissa" that struck the country two weeks ago; two cities are still unreachable, so this is still a provisional count while services are being restored. Helicopters have dropped food and essential supplies to isolated communities, then it is reported that thirty thousand people have been evacuated with eleven hundred still living in eighty-eight open shelters. The category five hurricane "Melissa" was one of the most powerful hurricanes in the Atlantic, with record-breaking characteristics, having for example destroyed homes and crops in Cuba, caused severe flooding in southwestern Haiti with at least forty-three victims and aid has been provided to populations struggling to recover from the impact of the strong vortex. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 12, 2025

Damage in northwest of Philippines from a typhoon Floods and landslides have caused damage in the northwest of the Philippines with entire provinces left without electricity due to Typhoon "Fung-wong", at least ten victims have been reported and one million and four hundred thousand people were evacuated. Some areas had already been affected by a previous strong typhoon (which caused two hundred thirty-two victims, plus five in Vietnam) and were further devastated by this vortex considered to be of considerable intensity. Authorities had declared a state of emergency, then schools and many government offices were closed, with hundreds of flights canceled. To report on a related note but still concerning natural issues the controversy regarding the absence of the United States and China at the COP30 climate conference in Belem in Brazil despite the significant impact of their economies on the fate of the planet. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 11, 2025

Another typhoon lashes the Philippines A week after one typhoon another strong vortex called "Fung-wong" characterized by wind gusts reaching two hundred thirty kilometers per hour is affecting the eastern coasts of the Philippines, there are reports of two victims and nearly one million people evacuated. Experts state that the number of typhoons has not increased due to climate change, but with warmer seas they accumulate more energy making wind gusts and rainfall stronger, then they often move slowly resulting in greater destructive power. To report on a related note but shifting to another natural issue the severe water crisis in Tehran with Iranian authorities having long been forced to ration water in the capital; in fact, it hasn't rained and in the previous months high temperatures have depleted water reserves, there is also consideration of evacuating the city. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 10, 2025

Contradictions Emerged at COP30 in Brazil While Brazilian authorities in Belem where the COP30 conference is being held to discuss mitigating global warming claim that the Earth can no longer withstand intensive use of fossil fuels, some have pointed out that Brazil continues to rely on the oil industry for the country's development; there is talk of authorizing exploration for the exploitation of deposits about five hundred kilometers from the mouth of the Amazon River, because in this way the funds generated from the export of fossil fuels should accelerate the transition to cleaner energy. Environmentalists have gone as far as to denounce a kind of boycott of the conference, hypocrisy and a paradox when attempts are made to encourage more ambitious measures to limit global warming with the so-called "black gold." e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 08, 2025

A strong typhoon lashes central Vietnam After causing at least one hundred eighty deaths and one hundred thirty-five missing in the Philippines the strong typhoon called "Kalmaegi" struck central Vietnam; reports mention at least two casualties, some missing, over five hundred thirty thousand people evacuated often by boat, followed by landslides and power outages. Large areas of central Vietnam have already been affected by recent flooding due to torrential rainfall, and forecasts predict more heavy rains, this typhoon could then head towards Laos and northeastern Thailand where emergency warnings have been issued. To report on a different note but still on environmental topics the abnormal and very high temperature monitored in some lakes in the Amazonas state in Brazil due to droughts and heatwaves with record cases and also heat described as brutal. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 07, 2025

Global emissions remain far too high Despite initiatives taken by many countries around the world (most recently by the European Union which aims to reduce emissions by ninety percent by 2040 albeit with flexibility) global emissions are still far too high to prevent excessive warming of the planet; in fact, are expected to increase by 2.3 percent in 2024 compared to 2023, with India topping this decidedly unhealthy ranking, followed by China, Russia, and Indonesia. This is a rather high increase considering recent years and is practically comparable to the rise in emissions seen in the 2000s, however the European Union was the only entity to cut greenhouse gas emissions in 2024. It is necessary for all countries that have not yet reduced emissions to set more ambitious targets because the projected trajectory of global warming is concerning. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 06, 2025

Floods again in Central Philippines There are reportedly more than forty victims due to Typhoon "Kalmaegi" and the resulting floods, entire cities on the island of Cebu in Central Philippines are said to be submerged with cars and trucks dragged away by the force of the water and sometimes even shipping containers, authorities describe the situation as unprecedented and while the danger was expected to come from strong winds it is the devastating floods that pose the real risk to the population. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to leave their homes often wading through muddy water and some say this is the worst event in decades. To report turning the attention to other scenarios nine victims in Nepal due to avalanches caused by snowstorms and bad weather that swept across and buried climbers attempting to scale well-known peaks favored for this type of sport. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 05, 2025

A typhoon lashes the central Philippines Authorities have evacuated tens of thousands of people due to the arrival of a typhoon called "Kalmaegi," with at least one reported death from flooding affecting the country and causing widespread power outages. The city of Sagay in Negros province has been particularly hit by severe weather and strong wind gusts, on this island, heavy rainfall could also trigger mudslides of volcanic material from Mount Kanlaon, which has recently shown signs of activity. To report changing the subject but staying on natural phenomena that in Papua in Indonesia at least fifteen people, most of them children, were swept away by floods and landslides after torrential rains; they are missing and their lives are feared in danger, it seems they were attempting to cross a river before being swept away. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 04, 2025
