Devastation in Indonesia after a strong cyclone

The death toll in western Sumatra is reported to have risen to over 440 due to the tropical cyclone "Senyar," which three provinces devastated by landslides and floods after heavy rainfall, many areas are inaccessible due to impassable roads and communications are also difficult due to damage to telecommunications infrastructure. Some have requested a national state of emergency, there are numerous cases of submerged homes and people in severe distress needing aid, food and basic necessities. To report shifting focus to Sri Lanka across the Bay of Bengal more than one hundred fifty deaths and more than one hundred ninety missing due to cyclone "Ditwah" which recently caused floods and landslides on the island, affecting five hundred thousand people with severe weather.

Severe weather in Indonesia and Sri Lanka

At least one hundred and eleven people are reported dead and over a hundred missing in North Sumatra due to the tropical cyclone called "Senyar", the local capital Medan has been flooded with muddy water causing inevitable serious disruptions for the population; in general landslides are reported after the heavy monsoon rains, often communications are cut off, there are power outages and some areas are covered with debris and therefore difficult to reach. Lhockseumawe the second city of Aceh is also flooded and the regional highway is unusable, resulting in paralysis throughout the region. As for Sri Lanka there are reports of sixty-nine deaths and thirty-four missing due to floods and landslides following torrential rains and strong wind gusts caused by cyclone "Ditwah", with road and rail traffic problems.

Potentially pandemic avian influenza

Due to outbreaks of H5N1 avian influenza hundreds of millions of birds have been culled in recent years causing disruptions in food supply chains and rising prices, then the risk of a pandemic worse than that caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus for Covid-19 is increasing, although for the moment human infections remain quite rare. According to experts the problem is that the virus could adapt to infect mammals and then humans potentially leading to human-to-human transmission, but unlike SARS-CoV-2 which was mainly lethal for vulnerable individuals avian influenza could be deadly for healthy individuals, including children; however several antiviral medicines are available that should be effective against the avian influenza virus allowing for vaccine preparation.

Flooding difficulties in southern Thailand

The death toll in southern Thailand would have risen to thirty-three due to flooding after days of heavy rainfall in seven provinces, which authorities have described as the worst in three centuries. A state of emergency has been declared for Songkhla Province, with over twelve hundred residents forced to leave their flooded homes, the tourist destination of Hat Yai has also been affected. There are reports of people being electrocuted as well as drowned due to the torrents of overflowing water that have turned streets into rivers, with people trying to save themselves by swimming among cars and debris carried away by the force of the water. To report on a different note but still regarding environmental issues that the controversy over the limited results achieved by the COP30 climate conference in Brazil has not yet subsided, with the exit from fossil fuel use still seeming far off.

Bad weather in some regions of Italy

Storms have caused the Sarno River in Campania region to overflow (also known for being one of the most polluted rivers in Europe), and several roads have been flooded, there are also reports of fallen trees and gusts of wind in this area due to the wave of bad weather, which has partially affected Tuscany region as well; then in the North there are sometimes reports of intense cold peaks as happened for example in the city of Bolzano. To report changing the topic but remaining within natural themes the disastrous situation in the Gaza Strip where heavy rainfall has caused the formation of muddy puddles in the large tent camps built with worn-out and inadequate materials, it is reported that eighty percent of the buildings have been destroyed due to the long-standing conflict in the area, the sewage systems do not work and all primary resources are scarce.

Floods in Thailand and damage assessment in Vietnam

Days of heavy rainfall have caused widespread flooding in southern Thailand due to the collapse of sections of river embankments, at least one death has been reported in Songkhla province with thousands of people evacuated and entire districts flooded, and many flights canceled; affected residents are often forced to move through water and rescuers use boats to help people in distress. In Vietnam the death toll from recent floods in central areas of the country has reportedly risen to ninety-one with eleven people missing, authorities are assessing the extensive damage for recovery efforts: two hundred thirty-five thousand homes were flooded and eighty thousand hectares of crops were damaged, making this a climate event described as one of the worst in decades in terms of its impact on the territory.

Silence on phasing out fossil fuel use in COP30

The conference in Belem in Brazil COP30 concluded with a compromise regarding the increase in funds to help poor countries cope with climate change, but it apparently omits any mention of phasing out fossil fuel use. Some protested with polemical speeches arguing that emissions cannot continue to rise and that the future of upcoming generations is compromised, then the money cannot be eaten essentially referring to the fact that when land is no longer arable or lands are submerged due to rising seas it will no longer be possible to obtain the necessary sustenance for entire populations. Voluntary actions are encouraged to accelerate the transition to less polluting energy sources, but for example it has long been noted that even in this sector the production chain is not very environmentally friendly.

Earthquake in central Bangladesh

There are reportedly at least ten victims and over a hundred injured due to a quake estimated between magnitude 5.5 and 5.7, which shook old Dhaka and other nearby densely populated areas of the capital. Panic spread among the population who poured into the streets not knowing where to take shelter; criticism arose over the lack of large open spaces, which exposed people to the risk of buildings collapsing on those trying to avoid falling debris during a fairly strong earthquake that was also felt in India. When planning the layout of a city in addition to considering earthquake-resistant standards, escape routes and suitable open spaces should be provided to accommodate large numbers of people (for example in public parks) which should also be prepared in advance to manage emergencies.

Landslides and eruptions in Indonesia, heavy rains in Vietnam

There are reportedly thirty deaths and twenty-one missing in the city of Cilacap and the Banjarnegara region in Central Java due to a landslide that swept away dozens of homes following torrential rainfall, then the eruption of the Semeru volcano, three thousand six hundred seventy-six meters high forced the evacuation of over a thousand people; volcanic ash and gases expelled more than two kilometers above the summit reached thirteen kilometers away with pyroclastic flows, damaged houses, at least one destroyed school and injuries from burns. As for Vietnam which has long been experiencing heavy rains, there are thirteen reported deaths and forty-three thousand people evacuated in areas of the country affected by flooding, rescuers often have to use boats to help people in difficulty, then damage and disruption to the population.

Artificial intelligence not recommended for children

The use of generative artificial intelligence chatbot applications according to experts could cause cognitive and learning deficits, language delays, overweight and obesity and therefore would be discouraged for children; moreover these applications capable of generating images capture the attention of young people by exploiting the vulnerabilities of a mind that is still developing. As for adults a recent study revealed that it is now no longer possible to distinguish AI-generated music (assuming it can even be called musical art) from that composed by humans. The data centers that support generative artificial intelligence consume large amounts of energy and water for cooling computer boards, and furthermore these electronic centers take up land that could be used for other purposes.

Discussions on who will host the COP31 conference

Australian authorities have reportedly stated that they do not intend to oppose Turkey as the host country for the upcoming COP31 conference on reducing pollutant emissions; in fact, doing so would not send a good signal regarding the unity needed to effectively act on global climate issues. Australia had previously declared itself willing to host the conference also due to the proximity of the Pacific Islands threatened by tropical cyclones and rising sea levels, but apparently estimates of the COP31 costs played a role in a step back. If neither Australia nor Turkey accepts the choice could fall on the city of Bonn in Germany and in the meantime discussions on this issue continue, but studies estimate that emissions from fossil fuels are set to reach a new record by 2025.

Damage and disruptions due to bad weather in Italy

The flooding of the Judrio and Torre rivers in Friuli region forced the evacuation of about three hundred people in areas between Palmanova and Cormons, with two victims caused by a landslide that swept away some homes, livestock lost due to flooding, and crops damaged; it is reported that two to three hundred millimeters of rain fell in a few hours due to a downpour, then there were also damages and disruptions in Liguria and Tuscany regions. To report changing the topic but staying on natural-related events that a Turkish ship carrying four thousand tons of liquefied gas was hit near Odessa due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, there are fears it could explode and authorities state that it is an extremely critical situation, the nearby areas were evacuated as a precaution, and the crew of the ship was also evacuated.

Italy divided in two regarding weather conditions

While the northern regions have been affected by a wave of bad weather with for example tornadoes in Liguria region, heavy downpours, significant damage and one victim and one people missing in Friuli, in the southern regions the temperatures have been unusually high for the season; in fact, there are reports of swimming in the sea on the beaches of Calabria and tourists enjoying sun and calm seas in Tropea, even though the region often has to face a prolonged water crisis that forces rationing, causes inconvenience for the population, and damages crops. To report moving the attention to other scenarios six people have died in southeastern Vietnam due to intense rainfall and resulting landslides; then recently in England evacuations took place near the town of Monmouth in Wales because of the storm called "Claudia", a river overflowed flooding streets, cars, and businesses with muddy water.

Impact of climate change on winter sports

Many will have noticed how often in the mountains you only see a narrow trail of hard "artificial" snow on the slopes, flanked by green fields and trees not covered in snow and this can only have a significant impact on winter sports, for example a study conducted in 2024 found that the number of locations suitable to host the Olympic Games was rapidly decreasing due to climate change, with only half of the twenty-one previously identified locations still suitable to host them by 2050. Ski athletes complain about how competition conditions have changed due to higher temperatures; many typical training parameters need to be adjusted and corresponding schedules revised, sports equipment adapted; and almost always it is no longer possible to train on glaciers in the summer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

Energy from the sea with a flexible rubber tube

It is possible to produce clean energy from the sea using a large flexible tube made of natural rubber anchored to the seabed flexible and durable with reinforcing rubber tendons inside that floats following the motion of the waves, moving somewhat figuratively like a "surfing anaconda" floating on the waves; at least according to English researchers who claim that water enters the tube inflating it. When the speed of the ocean waves approaches the internal speed that inflates the water in the tube, which moves while floating on the waves it produces the transfer of resonance energy with pressures on the structure. This project started sixteen years ago utilizing decades of research, and has since undergone significant improvements reducing the amount of material needed to produce the tube and enhancing its capacity to generate energy.

There are reportedly forty-nine victims in the Caribbean islands affecting from the powerful hurricane "Melissa," at least according to a new tragic report provided by authorities who warn that missing persons are still being searched for under rubble and debris caused by the passage of the devastating vortex approaching Bermuda. No victims have been reported in Cuba, but the island was left in darkness with damage to houses and crops in eastern areas, isolated communities; more than seven hundred thirty thousand people had been evacuated, and tourists were accommodated in more protected inland hotels. Researchers claim that due to climate change the intensity of hurricanes is increasing because they are fueled by the heat accumulated in the surface waters of the sea and they often move more slowly thus having greater destructive capacity compared to a relatively faster passage.

Protecting life from extreme heat and pollution

The lives of millions of people could be saved from extreme heat waves, pollution, and intensified climate disasters if measures identified long ago were actually implemented which in practice remain on the table, at least according to a report highlighting how the global health impact of climate change could be devastating and destabilizing. This is also in anticipation of the COP30 conference to be held in Brazil in November where decisions will need to be made on which measures to take to mitigate the now uncontrollable climate warming (in 2024 for the first time, with average temperatures more than one and a half degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels).

Study for a more proper use of antidepressants

Noting an influence on weight, blood pressure and heart rate from the use of certain antidepressants, a study (fifty-eight thousand participants and thirty antidepressants in the first eight weeks of treatment) emphasizes how these medications can have significant side effects even after just a few weeks of use; therefore, an antidepressant should be targeted to the specific characteristics of an individual, raising questions about the interchangeability of this type of medicines, but without wanting to discourage the patient from potential use and aiming for a more proper use.

Climate change favors cases of malaria

Higher temperatures and flooding caused by climate change are believed to have increased areas suitable for mosquito breeding, according to a study that emphasizes how after two decades of progress in efforts to combat malaria (which is potentially fatal and impacts economies and living conditions), these gains could be undone due to limited funding for expensive prevention initiatives for growing human populations; additionally, medicines and insecticides have become less effective and global insecurity further weakens the effectiveness of interventions. In Rwanda for example mosquito breeding sites now exist even at high altitudes and the Asian Anopheles mosquito appears to have spread to Africa; then a vaccine is available but it is not very effective while awaiting a new formulation.

Deforestation targets not met

By permanently losing over eight million hectares of forests in 2024 alone an area roughly the size of England the planet would be sixty-three percent away from the deforestation targets set in Glasgow in 2021 by one hundred and forty countries; therefore, we are far from being able to meet the goal of reversing deforestation practices by 2030. This is mainly due to the expansion of agricultural practices, the search for mines for gold and coal extraction, forest fires, and the lack of compliance with environmental protection regulations, there are also climate change for example with prolonged droughts and diseases that weaken trees plays a role. Apparently the subsidies planned for the agricultural sector end up fueling deforestation to meet market demand that could be satisfied in other ways.

Many studies have focused on how many microplastics are present in water, but all liquids that are consumed contain them, in particular it seems that coffee, tea, drinks, juices, and energy drinks significantly contribute to reaching the daily amount of these unhealthy microplastics. A connection between temperature and microplastic release has also been observed with hot tea showing the highest concentration, and heat appears to accelerate this release from the plastic packaging materials of the product (the tea bag had previously been noted). It is necessary to evaluate total exposure to microplastics from all beverages to have a more complete picture if one does not want to underestimate the actual level of exposure.

Record CO2 Levels for 2024 and a vicious cycle

A combination of continued emissions from fossil fuels and a reduction in what is absorbed by forests, oceans, and other natural resources for carbon dioxide capture has led to record CO2 levels in the atmosphere in 2024 (since such data began being recorded in 1957), according to a report by international agencies. The report highlights how the average annual increase rose from 2.4 parts per million per year in the decade from 2011 to 2020 to 3.5 ppm from 2023 to 2024. The consequences of humanity's reckless behavior and unrestrained consumption of fossil fuels have resulted in increasingly extreme climatic events, disturbing the delicate carbon cycle and creating a self-reinforcing vicious cycle; therefore it is urgent to find effective solutions to reverse this trend.

A law regulating chatbots in California

Operators of AI-based chatbots will be required to regulate them to safeguard interactions with users, at least according to the intentions of a law enacted in California; as recently online users have increasingly been using these artificial dialogue systems to look for accurate information despite the growing misinformation associated with these chatbots. There have been definitely unpleasant incidents involving young people whose attention was caught by generative AI, and therefore there is an effort to regulate chatbots so that they cannot interact with children or vulnerable individuals to induce them to extreme actions; consequently chatbot operators will need to adopt safety measures and provide a pathway that helps address potential tragedies and harm to users.

Floods and Landslides in Mexico

There are reportedly over forty victims in central and southeastern areas of Mexico due to floods and landslides caused by torrential rainfall, is speak of houses and highways have been damaged, roads impassable and thousands of rescuers have been deployed by authorities to help people in difficulty who are forced to try to reach safety sometimes wading through mud and debris. to report other natural emergencies such as the abnormal overheating of the sea and ocean around New Zealand, so much so that it is estimated that the water is heating at a rate thirty-four times faster than the global average, particularly the surface waters; it appears that there is a link between climate change and disruptions in the flow of major ocean currents between New Zealand and Antarctica, with serious consequences for the ecosystem.

Methane escaping from cracks in the Antarctic

Large quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas eighty times more potent (in the first twenty years in the atmosphere) than carbon dioxide in terms of climate warming potential, escape in bubbles from cracks on the Antarctic seabed, at least according to recent observations in specific areas. These observations suggest that predictions regarding global warming may have been underestimated, although little is still known about how much methane actually reaches the atmosphere and how much is consumed by microbes living on the ocean floor; there could also be an impact on marine life. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural issues that a storm is approaching the East Coast of the United States, particularly South Carolina and New Jersey; meanwhile, in the Philippines there are reports of seven victims due to two recent tremors in Davao.

Northern areas of Vietnam struggling due to bad weather

At least three people are reported dead due to the typhoon called "Matmo," which affected vast areas in northern Vietnam, there are reports of floods in Hanoi, with thousands of boats used to rescue people in difficulty, followed by evacuations, streets turned into raging torrents, flooded crops, and severe disruptions; this is just the latest extreme event in a series of floods that have struck the country. To report shifting the focus to Turkey, the situation is quite the opposite regarding extreme phenomena, with a prolonged drought considered one of the worst in half a century, water reserves have decreased also by to twenty-seven percent over three decades, particularly affecting the Marmara region which includes the cities of Tekirdag and Istanbul, then there are reports of dried-up lakes and generally very low water levels in reservoirs.

Floods in northern Vietnam caused by segments of a dam

Due to heavy rainfall water has overflowed from some protective segments of a dam in Bac Ninh province in northern Vietnam, thousands of people have been urgently evacuated with homes flooded and rice fields submerged resulting in the loss of most of the harvest. Authorities are trying to find accommodation for the evacuated residents and for farm animals, using measures that had already been partially planned. There are also concerns about the water levels of the Cau River in the area of Hop Tinh Commune. report changing the subject but still on natural topics that renewable electricity production in the first half of 2025 has surpassed that from coal, with China and India leading in this achievement; however, some say that the production chain of renewables is not very environmentally friendly.

World capitals struggling with water scarcity

Climate change is rapidly depleting the water reserves of many world capitals, for example in Athens in Greece it is believed that water will only be sufficient for one year due to prolonged drought and increased consumption and in the future it will be necessary to build desalination plants; meanwhile in Tehran in Iran some have discussed moving the capital because of the critical issues caused by the region's water scarcity. In Indonesia satellite images have reportedly shown that the area chosen to host the future new capital has limited water resources; moreover, there is controversy in the country over deforestation plans decided by the authorities, which risk depleting the area of water. To report on a different topic but still related to natural issues a large uncontrolled wildfire is raging in Canada, in Nova Scotia (Lake George wilfire in Kings County) under dry and windy conditions.

Eating habits are destabilizing the planet

Almost a third of greenhouse gas emissions come from food, at least according to one study which highlights key factors such as the environmentally harmful role of methane released by cattle, deforestation to make room for crops and the use of fossil energy for fertilizer production. Moreover, even if we stopped burning fossil fuels our eating habits tend to push global temperatures above the set limit of one and a half degrees Celsius of warming. The harmful impact includes loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, water scarcity, and pollution from fertilizers, resulting in an overall alarming situation. As for the dietary regime to follow it is recommended to eat fruits and vegetables with limited consumption of meat and fish, which would also help prevent fifteen million premature deaths.

Pirates in jacket and necktie

By now the traditional image of the pirates organizes in groups from corsairs armed of guns and knives to the cingula have yielded the step to the new predator dressed in jacket and necktie that is annoying the web (bandits that unload entire site and they identify the protection keys, steal the symbols, musics..), even with one name of all security that hides the deceit to before the tacking of click. As an example writing "salutary.eu" on a famous search engine between the entrance connections to the site www.salutistico.it, others do not authorize links appear between which also one to those in order to unload freewares, but that practically they turn out to payment through Dialer. Attention to the pirates, exploratory of the web Internet, sails in sure waters; in fact the Demo of the program "Well-being Body - Mind - Soul" deposited that it enjoys all the copyrights can unload free from my salutary.eu Internet site or salutary.eu compiling the appropriate card of recording (and subsequently with relative password communicated) and I dissociate myself from the use of my software to payment for whichever site different from the mine. To notice unfortunately that also writing "salutistico.it" for the original site, are visualized links truculent or trap. - Lately is disappeared the intere site from some search engines.. (that evidently could use the same criteria of selection).
