The ozone hole may shrink in the coming decades The ozone hole over Antarctica could decrease to the point of disappearing in the coming decades, demonstrating that international action regarding the important protective layer of the Earth is achieving its goals; in fact in 2024 the hole was smaller than in recent years. In 1975 a convention was followed by the Montreal Protocol which allowed for the banning of harmful gases to the ozone layer mainly found in household refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol sprays. To report changing the subject but still on natural topics that the Amazon rainforest has reduced by an area the size of Spain in about forty years perhaps approaching a point of no return, as the rain cycle is disrupted and a dry savanna is growing instead of forest. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 16, 2025

 Study on emissions from oil and cement industries The extreme effects of many heat waves could be directly linked to emissions from oil, coal, and cement industries; at least according to a study that highlights how a quarter of the more than two hundred heat waves that have occurred during this century would have been impossible without anthropogenic warming. It is estimated that the exploitation of fossil fuels by one hundred eighty major global polluters has contributed to about half of the increase in the intensity of heat waves since pre-industrial times. In areas of the Global South such as Africa and Latin America many heat waves are not recorded and are absent from the archives used for calculations, so the study results are likely underestimated and the real scale and consequences of these events are greater. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 15, 2025

Severe drought in Atlantic regions of Canada The map of the water situation in many Atlantic regions of Canada provided by Canadian authorities shows areas where drought reaches extreme values, particularly affecting almost the entire province of Prince Edward Island, while in parts of Labrador conditions are said to be normal; but again for areas of Newfoundland values range from abnormal drought to extreme, especially in parts of the Avalon Peninsula affected by wildfires during the summer, then New Brunswick and Nova Scotia from moderate to severe. In the Annapolis Valley some areas suffered through the worst August in terms of rainfall with a record low of less than fifteen millimeters, followed by drought for Charlottetown and Saint John. Bans on lighting fires, access to land, and measures to save and appropriately manage water reserves have been issued. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Set 13, 2025

Sea rise threatens many Philippine islands It could reach thirteen millimeters of sea rise each year, at least according to calculations made by a department on environmental resources which underscores how in the Philippines sea rise is occurring at a rate three times higher than the global average. The seven-hectare island of Manila Bay is already running out of land and risks being completely submerged, then there is also the problem that the land tends to sink as happens along the coasts of Bulacan due to the phenomenon of subsidence and the lives of the people who live there have changed radically. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural issues that has risen to nineteen the death toll in Bali and East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia due to torrential rainfall and subsequent flooding, with five people reported missing and five hundred evacuated. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 12, 2025

Floods on the island of Bali in Indonesia There would be at least nine victims this week on the island of Bali in Indonesia with about six hundred people affected by intense rainfall lasting for days, it seems that major street reportedly inaccessible in the capital Denpasar and famous tourist locations difficult to reach. Two hundred people have been evacuated and accommodated in schools and religious facilities, then hardships for the population forced to move through water, not to mention the goods in flooded businesses. Four victims have also been reported in East Nusa Tenggara due to the heavy rains and subsequent flooding. To report changing the subject but staying on natural topics that it is estimated that wildfires in Canada have caused five thousand four hundred deaths worldwide due to related causes (the mortality rate varies depending on the calculation method used) and about eighty-two thousand premature deaths. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 11, 2025

Severe drought in southeastern Europe in August Armenia, Georgia, Bulgaria and Kosovo faced a severe drought in mid-August, at least according to satellite data that highlighted the extreme phenomenon across almost all the soil; then fifty-two percent of Europe experienced drought, more during this period than in any year since recording began in 2012. On the Atlantic coast over three-quarters of Portugal have been affected by drought (a country that also suffered from devastating fires) and rainfall has been scarce for about seventy percent of France. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural themes the floods on the island of Elba due to a cloudburst; this is the third time in a year that torrents of water have flooded Portoferraio causing inundations, then there was severe bad weather in various areas of Tuscany and Lazio region. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 10, 2025

A large dam in Ethiopia worries Egypt The largest dam in Africa built on a tributary of the Nile in Ethiopia risks further reducing the flow of the second longest river in the world in Egypt, especially during periods of drought; the flow has already decreased for years due to climate change, although the authorities in Addis Ababa assure that water resources will be shared fairly. This dam construction of which began in 2011 will provide electricity to millions of homes, but Egypt relies on Nile waters for ninety percent of its needs and fears it could lead to the construction of additional dams. To report shifting the attention to other scenarios the suffering of glaciers in the Alps with many Swiss villages threatened by their melting, and the alarming situation of the Marmolada glacier in Italy, then the migrations due to flooding in Punjab in India. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 09, 2025

Low storage capacity for CCS plants It is estimated that globally that if carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants were used at full capacity they could store around one thousand four hundred tons of carbon dioxide much less than previously thought (twelve thousand billion tons), at least according to researchers who point out that it could only slightly reduce global temperatures compared to what was believed. The use of these plants was suggested because merely reducing emissions was not enough to meet the set goals and that other technologies needed to be utilized, but CCS evidently functions inadequately without considering that they consume an enormous amount of energy in addition to being very expensive; then they could be an excuse to continue exploiting fossil fuels instead of investing in renewables and sustainable. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 08, 2025

Wildfires have global health consequences Air quality has deteriorated for millions of people due to wildfires in the Amazon, Canada, and Siberia, at least according to statements from international organizations that emphasize how fine particulate matter with a diameter of less than two and a half micrometers (PM2.5) is considered particularly harmful as it can penetrate deep into the lungs and cardiovascular system. Moreover air quality is also related to climate change and both factors should be considered together. The wildfire seasons are getting longer and releasing large amounts of smoke that knows no boundaries; for example, wildfires in Canada worsen air quality even in Europe. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on health-related themes that the health emergency of mpox (caused by the monkeypox virus) is no longer an emergency in Africa. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 06, 2025

Plasticized and overheated Mediterranean It is estimated that the equivalent of thirty-four thousand plastic bottles ends up in the Mediterranean Sea every minute, making it possibly the most polluted sea in the world. This plastic which becomes microplastic is said to resemble a soup with unprecedented levels of pollution (it seems that Corsica is particularly polluted) devastating both human and marine life. Another issue is the overheating with tropical fish having crossed through the Suez Canal which are now increasingly spotted and marine heatwaves becoming more frequent with temperatures four degrees Celsius above the averages and with unusual durations. Changing the subject but still on natural topics it is noteworthy that the death toll of the recent earthquake in Afghanistan has risen to two thousand two hundred with over three thousand six hundred injured, particularly affecting Kunar province. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 05, 2025
