Truly destructive fire in Israel
It is considered by some to be one of the most destructive fires in the history of Israel, the one that has been devouring the woods near Mesilat Zion and not far from Jerusalem for a few days, favored by high temperatures, wind and drought; there is talk of mass evacuations, problems with traffic management, injuries due to intoxication and international mobilization. The authorities say that most of the fires are under control, but the extinguished and still smoking fires could regain strength and other firefighter interventions are not ruled out while the causes are investigated. The Eshkol forest and the hills west of the capital Jerusalem were particularly affected with residential areas affected by the columns of smoke that emanated from the high fires; the question is generally how the region will be able to cope with heat waves and extreme droughts linked to climate change.

Warming in north of Finland, Norway and Sweden
Climate change would have significantly overheated Lapland (or northern Fennoscandia), a region located north of Finland, Norway and Sweden, so much so that temperatures in the summer of 2024 would have been the highest in two thousand years, at least according to data monitored by the Finnish Meteorological Institute also obtained from direct observations from data recorded since the late 1800s, and from indirect data and data relating to the growth of tree rings. Compared to other parts of the world the Arctic regions are warming at a rate four times faster since 1979 and it is a very sensitive ecosystem and we are talking about an irreversible impact since climate change is extending beyond the normal level of tolerance with heat waves occurring more and more frequently.

Monitoring of power grids in Europe
After the blackout that affected Spain (some say the largest ever.. five victims), part of Portugal and parts of France, there is talk of how a more accurate control of high-voltage connection nodes is needed; in fact, even if the causes of the energy drops are not well understood, it seems that a sudden strong surge in the high-voltage supply, with the lack of fifteen gigawatts, could have caused the disconnection of some nodes and then the automatic protection systems were triggered. A possible cyber attack is not excluded [unlikely], but there are various versions of what happened with the risk of disinformation according to the authorities; the situation in large cities in Spain was almost surreal where everything was practically blocked, businesses closed, traffic not regulated by traffic lights, people with radios to get information, then also the use of battery-powered lights.

Ecotourism and low environmental impact navigation
Accelerating action to protect the oceans is the goal of a conference to be held in Busan, South Korea, which aims to increase the resources to be allocated to safeguard thirty percent of the seas by 2030, also in preparation for the COP30 scheduled for November to be held in Brazil in order to integrate solutions designed for the oceans with other ecological actions. Some talk about how to encourage ecotourism, renewable energy, sustainable development and low environmental impact shipping to achieve good economic potential. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that Turkish seismologists affirm the uncertainty regarding the monitored data relating to a recent earthquake of magnitude 6.2 in the region of Istanbul and the Sea of Marmara, which could perhaps be the precursors of a future stronger earthquake.

Adaptation of gardens to climate change
More and more often those who have a garden have to cope with heat waves, then cold, gusts of wind, cloudbursts and hailstorms so much so that some say that climate change is changing the traditional garden and that it can no longer be the same as what we were used to having; in fact, many plants do not adapt to extreme climatic events or you have to choose more resistant varieties. Plants and flowers are not only pleasant for humans by giving scents and colors that give well-being, but they are also important for pollinating insects as well as being a source of nourishment for all that varied ecosystem that lives in a garden. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes a vast fire in New Jersey in the United States probably the largest in about twenty years, over four thousand six hundred hectares of vegetation would have gone up in smoke.

Strong overheating trauma for corals
The coral recovery window is closing, at least in the opinion of experts who argue that if heat waves occur at an increasingly short distance corals in the planet’s seas do not have time to recover and it is estimated that the eighty-four percent of the world’s coral reefs have suffered the worst bleaching episode ever recorded. It is an essential ecosystem that suffers the consequences of human activities with a warming warming oceans and that, for example, since 2023 has affected the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans with values about the temperatures reached from record. In some regions there is talk of the disappearance of many species that live in coral reefs even until total disappearance, it is estimated that with an overheating of one and a half degrees Celsius from seventy to ninety percent of the corals could disappear, a very undesirable prospect.

Drones for transport equipment on Everest
The climbs on Mount Everest may no longer be the same that traditionally are repeated more or less with the same procedures for decades with the Sherpas transporting the materials to the base fields; in fact, it seems that the use of drones that transport up to about thirty (for safety we are limited to twenty) of kilos of material in the summit is increasingly frequent. It takes the Sherpas for these sometimes risky transport operations for six or seven minutes, then they can also be used for the recovery of waste in cleaning operations such as Airlift Nepal that had already been planned; but many drone flights are needed and there is no electricity at high altitude and it takes a lot of fuel to operate the generators. However according to some the spirit of mountaineering begins to be lost with climbers equipped with sophisticated electronic equipment and tools of all kinds.

Water scars in Attica in Greece
The water reserves in Attica would have decreased by thirty percent compared to last year so much so that the authorities propose (provided it does not rain enough) to transport a hundred thousand cubic meters of water in tanker ships on the Acheloos river to the point of water distribution in Boeotia. The water level in the basins is low and even if the record of 1993 has not been reached, it must be taken into account that now both the population and the demand for water has grown significantly since then; then even tourists make great use of drinking water, the losses from the water network are substantial and the rise in temperatures provoke the evaporation from the basins. Experts have long warned that when the water level in the basins is low, pollutants tend to concentrate and in particular among the most dangerous it is necessary to report the perfluoroalchils (PFAS) composed of persistent and almost indestructible molecules.

Still partial bad weather in areas of North Italy
It rains in some areas recently hit by a tropical cyclone, with various damage to infrastructure and cultivated fields, characterized by heavy rainy rainfall and there is concern in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna for the level of the Po river with red alert for the hydrogeological risk even if for the moment the situation would seem under control and only of flood areas have been submerged, then there is talk of alert also for Sardinia. It should be noted that for the fall of a cabin from the cable car that leads to Mount Faito in Castellammare di Stabia in Campania region some of the various hypotheses also speak of the wind, opened a commission of inquiry; restored the energy to the buildings where the tow rope near the cables of the high voltage had fallen, then it seems that the damage could also be greater and the arm of a crane stopped the fall of the pulling cable.

Too much water for data centers in Spain
Spain is one of the most suffering European countries for drought that with large areas even at risk of desertification but apparently wants to host in Madrid large data processing centers that require huge amounts of water for cooling, are talking about billions of liters of drinking water especially if they have to support the great computing power of the artificial information generating. It is estimated that by 2030, these "Data Centers" will consume twice the energy now required (at low cost obtained from plants to obtain renewable energy and therefore in theory convenient) to support water-cooled servers. Of note changing the subject but remaining on technological issues that for the case of the fall of a cabin from the cable car of Mount Faito in Campania region in Italy some speak of an obsolete braking system not updated in materials and technologies even if the dynamics of events are not yet very clear.

Wave of bad weather in some regions in Italy
A cyclone defined as tropical has affected some regions of the North in Italy, there is talk of a victim in Piedmont region and two missing in Veneto (..the bodies has been found); particularly affected by the wave of bad weather the Val d'Aosta where the request for the declaration of the state of emergency was made; in fact, is talking about isolated countries and sometimes left without electricity, displaced, damage to infrastructure. To report changing the subject even if perhaps with no relation to bad weather the fall of a cable car that leads to the famous tourist resort on Mount Faito near Castellammare di Stabia in Campania region, four victims and one injured in serious condition; it seems from the first statements of the rescuers that the cable drawer broke quickly by making the cab to the upstream cable back, probably the emergency brake has not come into operation and the cabin has fallen, there are in the place a thick fog.

Not very reassuring to live in coastal areas
Once having a house near the sea could have been a source of pride and almost a privilege but now with the rise of the seas, the erosion of the coasts and the storms has become risky, then generally it is estimated that forty percent of the world's population lives in coastal areas and it may be necessary to move more inside the territory. Some for some time have signaled how the vegetation of the coastal areas is suffering the waves of bad weather with strong storms and gusts of wind and the increasingly frequent storms full of salt weaken the plants and the aquifers often have traces of salt for infiltrations from the subsoil that damages the roots, then the increase in temperatures favors the proliferation of pathologies, insects and fungi.

Studies on the possible danger of tattoos
While it is usually talked about association and non-cancer-causing tattoos, experts warn that people should be informed that a small percentage of risk remains even if more research is needed to determine its severity; then, for example, the risks of some infections such as those caused by mycobacteria seem to increase with the possibility of spreading other pathologies considering that the pigment is deposited in the dermis and inks, traces of potentially dangerous metals such as nickel and chromium have sometimes been found in the tests, then in one case arsenic, mercury and lead was found. Ninety-three percent of the inks tested violate European regulations, sixty-one contain risky pigments even if generally the level of metals remains within limits; then js talk about any allergies possibility even in the case of removal.

Gloomy climate report for last year
Data monitored by a European meteorological agency shows a gloomy picture for last year regarding the climate; in fact, Europe is the continent that warms faster than other areas of the world, we are talking about over three hundred and thirty victims and four hundred and thirteen thousand people affected by storms and floods; There are strong naturalistic imbalances and it is important to take into account every fraction of a degree of increase (it seems that there has been an improvement in the amount of energy obtained from renewable sources). To be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, the recent wave of bad weather with a kind of typhoon that would have hit areas of regions in northern China and the capital Beijing, forcing the closure of historical sites and difficulties in travel; Numerous trees fell, then snowfall, hailstorms and cloudbursts.

Thin, flexible and sustainable batteries
The new ultra-thin batteries are flexible and can also be flexed and stretched, at least according to the Swedish researchers who have developed these rechargeable batteries made with fluid electrodes and sustainable materials. In the tests the batteries withstood over five hundred charging cycles, remaining stable in energy delivery even when subjected to significant downturns. The advantages for medical use and for a large number of sectors would be great (but as for artificial intelligence a possible use in robotics is scary). To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on technological issues such as the tariff war, partly removed but then reannounced, it could increase the cost of many consumer products such as computers and smartphones. Some have long claimed to incentivize the market for remanufactured technology products.

Greener maritime transport
The global economy is supported by maritime transport, but according to some for years the ecological footprint of this sector so important for development and international trade has not been evaluated with the right consideration in order to ensure a sustainable future. The latest decisions recently taken by an international maritime organization aim at a reduction in emissions with proposals for limitations from 2028 (which must be definitively approved in October), then by twenty percent by 2030 until they reach zero by 2050, also imposing fines on ships that do not comply with them and a bonus on those who use more environmentally friendly fuels; but the United States did not adhere to the agreement, advising other countries in practice to boycott it. To be noted; in addition, that there are several technologies to reduce emissions from ships.

Dire health situation in Myanmar and Gaza
The health emergency in Myanmar would not only be due to the earthquake but to the long period of civil war that has devastated the country with bloody clashes that have weakened, for example, the entire transport system, sometimes it takes hours to move even a few kilometers; in these conditions it is difficult to get medicines and health personnel; then many people live outdoors without shelters and basic necessities and are getting sick and the risk of epidemics increases. As far as the Gaza Strip, it seems that most of the hospitals are closed or difficult to use, others destroyed as well as most of the buildings and the population is forced to survive in a very small area with little food and water, without medicines and very harsh living conditions; international humanitarian organizations speak in figurative terms of a kind of extermination camp.

Large power consumption of AI
A new challenge regarding energy security and CO2 emission targets derives from the large energy consumption due to the use of applications supported by artificial intelligence and especially the generative one that requires colossal computational capabilities to process the information stored in gigantic archives, at least according to experts that warn that energy demand could double by 2030. The United States, Europe and China currently account for about eighty-five percent of requests to data centers whose energy demands have grown by twelve percent every year for the past five years. A well-known American computer company is allegedly using energy from new nuclear reactors installed on Three Mile Island where a serious accident occurred in 1979 with a core meltdown and radioactive contamination.

March on average very hot in Europe
The average temperatures monitored in Europe would have reached a new record and also a significant margin and this has caused extreme weather phenomena such as very intense rainfall in some areas and prolonged drought in others. Globally it seems that the month of March is in second place in the ranking, but these are still truly alarming data with a long series of months always above one and a half degrees of global average warming since humanity began to burn huge quantities of coal and other fossil fuels with the industrial era. Already 2023 was the first to be above one and a half degrees and this upward push in temperatures pushes into 2024 probably destined to reach a new record, despite the theoretically rebalancing influence of the cooler global current "la Nina".

Measles alerts for many countries
Many epidemic outbreaks of measles are possible in countries where the percentage of immunization is low, at least according to the opinion of experts who have made a list of states where there are many infections: Yemen, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Ethiopia, Romania, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam; then, for example, in areas of Canada such as Ontario, the number of monitored cases is so high (over six hundred) that the health authorities of the New York State Department in the United States warn travelers to take precautions by getting vaccinated before visiting Ontario or areas where there are numerous infections. Measles is a serious disease and does not always mean simply scratching a little and can cause pneumonia and even hospitalization and death of the patient; in addition, it must be borne in mind that measles is a very contagious virus, are talking about ninety percent of possibity for a person not vaccinated exposed to an infected person.

It rains on some earthquake areas in Myanmar
The rain that fell on some areas affected by the strong earthquake in Myanmar could hinder relief efforts and increase the risk of disease, at least according to international organizations that warn that more tents and shelters for the homeless are needed. In the meantime, the death toll has risen to over three thousand four hundred and four thousand six hundred injured. The combination of rainfall and extreme heat could cause serious diseases such as cholera among survivors forced to live outdoors, then there is talk of queues for water and difficulty in obtaining basic necessities. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that texts generated with artificial intelligence apparently support the false arguments of people who deny that climate change is due to emissions from human activities.

An asteroid could fall on the Moon
Calculations made on the new data obtained from a telescope announce that there could be a percentage of about four percent that a large asteroid could impact the Moon; therefore maybe not the Earth as previously thought, albeit with a low percentage (about one percent). The size of the asteroid is now estimated to be between fifty-three and sixty-seven meters, therefore larger than the threshold of fifty that activates planetary defense plans that provide for the development of one or more deflection missions; some say that it should already start now. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that according to weather forecasts a drop in temperatures is expected in many European countries due to a cold air front from Finland, particularly affected the Balkans with a drop perhaps greater than ten Celsius degrees.

Zoster vaccine possibly decreases dementia
Getting vaccinated against the varicella-zoster virus (shingles or so-called "St. Anthony's Fire") could get dementia minus twenty percent, at least according to a study still in the early stages that would have found greater effectiveness in women, but researchers warn to remain above all socially and intellectually active as well as controlling blood pressure and for diabetics to control high blood sugar values that would always be linked to cognitive decline. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on health issues that often the diseases caused by fungi are becoming more and more resistant to available medicines and this can lead to serious consequences and even to the death for example of patients affected by mucormycosis, is talk about climate change that favors the proliferation of fungi and how we try to find a solution in these cases.

Flooding on large farms in Australia
Livestock farms with thousands of animals would have been flooded in the west of Queensland in Australia, it is a very large area of five hundred thousand square kilometers (figuratively comparable to France) sparsely populated but with many farms and some argue that it is a truly remarkable disaster at least analyzing the preliminary number of animals victims of this extreme event linked to climate change. There is talk of over one hundred thousand cows, sheep, goats and horses that have been overwhelmed by the floods and missing, most likely they drowned; while helicopters are used to identify any herds of animals that have fled far away to save themselves, difficult to monitor the situation also because a very long road is flooded and unusable, then the properties very far from each other are isolated.

Significant health challenges in Myanmar
The lack of water, hygiene and basic necessities after the strong earthquake that struck Myanmar (there is talk of over two thousand seven hundred victims, four hundred and forty missing and four thousand five hundred injured) are causing considerable health difficulties in the country and international organizations warn to intervene with aid before the monsoon season; also considering that many people do not have a shelter and live on the streets. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on health issues that to combat microorganisms that have developed antibiotic resistance, researchers have recently experimented with a new class of antibiotics that could be used for new antimicrobial medicines useful in potentially life-threatening situations, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections; but we're still in the early stages of development.

It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that the islands of Paros and Myconos in Greece in the Cyclades were lashed by an extreme weather event with the characteristics of a tropical phenomenon characterized by torrential rainfall, hailstorms and strong gusts of wind that transformed the roads into torrents in flood with cars dragged among debris of all kinds and mud, inconvenience for the population and chaos of services.

Settlement and seismic swarm in Myanmar
Aftershocks and seismic swarm continue to affect the areas near the Sagaing fault in central Myanmar, in the meantime the death toll has risen to one thousand seven hundred with three hundred missing and three thousand four hundred injured. The devastation has hit a country impoverished by civil war, then there is talk of the critical state of many infrastructures and organizational chaos so much so that it is difficult even to get humanitarian aid to reach (the colonial-era bridge that connects Sagaing with Mandalay on the Irrawaddy River partially collapsed). There is often a lack of water, electricity and communications are very difficult; then for example there is a lack of heavy vehicles to move the rubble and look for the missing. In neighboring Thailand the number of victims of the collapse of a very high skyscraper under construction in the capital Bangkok has risen to eighteen.

Six regions affected by the earthquake in Myanmar
The two strong earthquakes that struck Myanmar, one of magnitude 7.7 followed by an aftershock of magnitude 6.4 with epicenter northwest of the city of Sagaing, would have caused significant damage in six regions in particular; there is talk of perhaps over one thousand and sixty victims with requests for international aid from the authorities of the country (where there have been bloody conflicts for power issues for some time), over three thousand and forty of injured and apparently many buildings collapsed with some saying that it will take time to get a real picture of the situation. There is also talk of children trapped in a partially collapsed monastery not far from Mandalay, the country's second city (where collapsed a children school). In neighboring Thailand a thirty-storey skyscraper under construction collapsed causing at least nine victims and people are also being searched for missing in the area affected by the collapse.

Strong earthquake tremor in Myanmar
A strong earthquake measuring 7.7 in magnitude struck Myanmar with its epicenter near the cities of Sagaing and Mandalay in a central area of the country, there are reports of over one hundred forty victims and seven hundred wounded, a building collapse and impassable roads where sinkholes have opened. Authorities have declared a state of emergency and rescue teams are working. The tremor was felt in neighboring Thailand in the capital Bangkok a under construction skyscraper collapse (nine victims) then offices and commercial establishments have been evacuated, felt also in the Yunnan province (in China). It should be noted shifting topics but staying on natural issues the prolonged drought causing distress for crops in Sicily in Italy; these are often lands at risk of desertification without structural hydraulic works, meanwhile the renowned blood oranges cultivated in the volcanic region of Etna are of significantly lower caliber than in previous seasons.

Heat wave on the Australian coral reef
On the west coast of Australia in one of the most famous points of the coral reef, for the varied beauty of the colors and where whale sharks migrate, a wave of marine heat would have made the corals bleach. We speak in figurative terms of "boiling" of corals as the sea is warm, then the heat has not only affected the surface layers but also in depth and several species of corals, therefore with damage judged to be very serious and the worst bleaching since 2011. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes, that the number of victims due to fires in South Korea has increased to twenty-four, bewilderment at the loss of the finely finished Gounsa temple in Uiseong, a cultural heritage of humanity and rich in historical artifacts; then some speak of an unprecedented crisis with entire areas of vegetation especially in the south-east of the country went up in smoke.

High alert for fires in South Korea
The fire emergency in South Korea continues with the authorities reportedly declaring a high-level crisis, there is talk of at least eighteen victims, nineteen injured, six of whom are seriously injured with devastation that has affected many villages and a historic temple razed to the ground; damage defined as unprecedented and the third event concerning the extension of multiple fires in the history of the country. Rather dry vegetation, strong winds and climate change have hampered efforts to contain the flames, particularly affected the regions of Ulsan and Gyeongsang with five days of fires that have caused unprecedented damage. Power lines and communications in the affected areas have been damaged and there is sometimes talk of chaos in organizing rescue, then the evacuations decided will hardly be able to avoid any other victims and injuries.

Ecocide as genocide and war crimes
Ecocide is defined as the destruction of large areas of the natural environment as a consequence of human activities and should be assessed by international organizations at the same level as genocide and war crimes, at least according to a group belonging to the Pacific island nation (Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa) which request that it be recognized by the Court of Justice in The Hague in the Netherlands (ICC) that can indict individuals who are responsible for the most serious crimes. The proposal had already been put forward in September 2024 and the crime of ecocide was to be added under ICC jurisdiction to the so-called Rome Statute which includes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression; this is also because the damage caused to nature and the entire ecosystem is not being taken seriously enough.

Forest fires in South Korea
At least four people would be killed and six injured due to a series of wildfires that have affected wooded areas in the south-east of the country, there is talk of damage to residential buildings, a temple; then over fifteen hundred people were evacuated to shelters after the fires burned about six thousand three hundred hectares of forest. More than nine thousand people were also involved in the flames supported by one hundred and five helicopters (three of the victims were firefighters), with difficulty in extinguishing the flames due to rather dry vegetation and wind. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues dozens of evacuations due to flooding in areas of central Spain and in the north of the country, it seems that a historic bridge collapsed, then barriers were set up in Toledo; water released from the El Pardo reserve as a precaution.

It is essential to avoid melting glaciers
All nineteen regions covered by glaciers in the world suffered a net loss of mass during 2024 for the third consecutive year in a row, at least according to data monitored by international organizations that underline how essential it is to avoid the total melting of glaciers for reasons that go beyond environmental, economic and social ones. The glaciers that retreated the most and to record levels last year would be those of Scandinavia, Norway in Svalbard and North Asia; then to give an example the retreat of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet could be quantified in nine billion tons since 1975 (since this type of data began to be recorded). The only solution is to reduce polluting emissions as well as perhaps identify low-temperature areas to be watered regularly to form glaciers to be covered with volcanic ash.

More avian flu infections in the U.S.
The situation regarding the trend of avian flu infections in the United States is not very reassuring according to experts since from 2022 the H5N1 strain has infected chickens, cows and cats; then almost one hundred and sixty-seven million birds infected and seventy people while with spring is speak of migration season (for example to Canada). Recently infections of the H7N9 avian influenza strain have also been monitored in Mississippi, which adds other concerns; in fact, it causes a percentage of deaths higher than H5N1, it seems that almost forty percent of infected humans have lost their lives since this new strain of avian flu was discovered in 2013, so in this case the infected birds were promptly killed. Some say that the H5N1 strain is only missing a genetic step for a potential possible pandemic.

Global warning systems for climate disasters
It is urgently necessary to equip ourselves with warning systems in the event of sudden climate disasters capable of guaranteeing coverage of the entire planet, at least according to a report by international organizations that underline how last year hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes to escape extreme weather events. The data concerning climate disasters would have been collected and monitored since 2008, these data do not only concern economically disadvantaged countries as happened for example in Mozambique where about one hundred thousand people were evacuated due to cyclone "Chido", but also countries that enjoy relative wealth as happened in Spain in Valencia where two hundred and twenty-four people lost their lives due to floods and Canada and the United States affected by devastating fires.

The Ecuadorian authorities who had declared a state of emergency over the rupture of an oil pipeline in the northwest of the country have reportedly declared that the situation has worsened; in fact, it seems that hundreds of thousands of users cannot use the water due to the pollution of the Esmeraldas river which has become very dark in color due to the spillage of a lot of oil for a landslide from the large pipeline (Ecuadorian Pipeline System SOTE); there are also fears of environmental disaster despite the fact that the pipeline has been closed to carry out repairs. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues of the floods in Spain in Andalusia due to intense rainfall and cloudbursts with inconvenience for the population in the areas affected by flooding that sometimes forced rescuers to emergency interventions in flooded houses.

Vertical wing of aircraft on experimental cargo ship
To reduce fuel consumption and therefore pollutant emissions a vertical wing of an aircraft was mounted on the bow of a cargo ship on an experimental voyage from England to Canada, according to the designers it works by accelerating the wind air passing through its surface to propel the ship with a technological aerodynamic system already used in the sports field for very fast vehicles and boats. This is a project promoted by the British administration that is part of a maritime decarbonization program, the ship must be modified by adding an imposing and heavy steel structure and seven and a half kilometers of electrical cables as well as finding space for the vertical wing, then it will also be necessary to mount cameras, additional lights, various components and radar to remedy the loss of visibility from the deck of the ship.

Tornadoes in several states in the Midwest of U.S.
There would be dozens of victims (over thirty) due to violent tornadoes due to an atmospheric low pressure system that affected Missouri and Mississippi in particular in the United States, we are talking about at least twenty-five vortices some so strong as to overturn heavy vehicles that left a trail of destruction in their passage sometimes almost razing houses to the ground and uprooting trees, leaving a large number of debris on the ground, dust storms; then the authorities also evacuated hundreds of people. It seems that in March it is not unusual for strong tornadoes to occur, but the damage monitored is truly remarkable. Shifting attention to Italy to report that some locations in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany regions are still flooded after the recent wave of bad weather, although the situation is improving and damage is being monitored.

Bad weather in Emilia Romagna and Tuscany in Italy
Floods and landslides have affected areas of Emilia Romagna and Tuscany regions, there is talk of red alert, isolated families and evacuations; then the level of the Arno river is high with schools closed in Florence and fears of flooding in Pisa. Various locations have been affected due to hydrogeological instability, particularly affected for example Brisighella and Sesto Fiorentino; generally damage to flooded crops and complained about by the inhabitants who find themselves with flooded houses, it also happens that private land practically acts as expansion basins absorbing water but quickly reaching the point of saturation. To be noted changing the subject a 4.7 magnitude earthquake in the province of Foggia in Puglia region that caused buildings to sway even in Bari and many places without causing damage (although checks are still in progress) and a magnitude 3.5 quake at Campi Flegrei.

Global warming as priority for Olympic sports
For both winter and summer Olympic sports global warming should be assessed as a high priority, at least according to the opinion of more than four hundred athletes who complain that increasingly high temperatures are threatening the future of sport. For example for winter sports in addition to increasingly artificial snow (with serious injuries becoming more and more frequent), it must be considered that in summer athletes can often no longer train on glaciers because the conditions of the snowpack do not allow it; instead for summer sports is talk about those who complain of algae proliferation in the water due to the high temperatures that have not allowed training. As regarding the Olympic Games the aim is to cut greenhouse gas emissions by fifty percent by 2030 in line with the Paris agreements on reducing emissions.

Earthquake shock at Campi Flegrei and Pozzuoli
A magnitude 4.4 earthquake with its epicenter in Pozzuoli in the sea about two and a half kilometers off the seafront has caused rubble to fall and there is also talk of one injured by the collapse of a false ceiling; then damage to a church, some parked cars and panic for the inhabitants who poured into the streets despite the rain. The quake is due to the phenomenon of bradyseism in the Campi Flegrei and also affected peripheral areas of Naples where it was distinctly felt and caused the buildings to sway, from the monitored data it would be the strongest in forty years and of the same magnitude but more prolonged than that of May 20, 2024. The resident population sometimes requires the setting up of tents because living with earthquakes and seismic swarms as easily understandable is not easy and makes it difficult to live in the place.

Eruption of a volcano in Guatemala
Columns of incandescent volcanic ash and gas come out of the crater of the Fuego volcano in Guatemala, there is talk of three hundred families evacuated and thousands of people to whom the authorities have sent a warning to be ready to leave their homes to manage the emergency. People claim to be on alert because of volcanic material reaching homes, then several fronts of incandescent lava are seen descending from the slopes of the volcano. It should be noted changing the scenario that in the Campi Flegrei near Pozzuoli and near Naples due to the phenomenon of bradyseism the ground would now be rising by three centimeters per month, also monitored an earthquake of magnitude three; for some time the volcanic caldera has been showing signs of activity with understandable concerns for the local population who often complain about the poor anti-seismic safety of buildings.

Floods in the city of Bahia Blanca in Argentina
Sixteen victims of the floods that hit the city of Bahia Blanca, a large city located in the south of the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina, there is talk of divers looking for some missing; in fact, entire neighborhoods were flooded by a storm with a large amount of water raining down in a few hours. The coastal area was left without electricity supply and in Bahia Blanca itself the power had been cut off as a precaution. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report the danger of pollution off the coast of Yorkshire in England due to the leakage of hydrocarbons for aircraft from the damaged tank of a ship (apparently stationary anchored) that collided with a cargo ship forcing the partial evacuation of the crew on board, one missing person and dozens of injured.

Questionable U.S. positions on climate change
Nations vulnerable to climate change had been supported by aid initiatives from two hundred countries decided during a COP28 conference in 2023, for what had been declared as a kind of victory for developing countries to deal with extreme phenomena, now apparently the United States has decided to no longer fund these initiatives. This is in line with the questionable positions already widely declared by the authorities of not believing in climate change, which are fictions; but for countries that do not have the means for repairs after being hit by extreme phenomena it is a struggle for survival. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the floods that are affecting areas of Morocco due to days of intense rainfall, inconvenience for the population and some even speak of victims.

Re-establishing a healthy ecosystem in the Niger Delta
In Nigeria, in the Niger River delta polluted by decades of fossil fuel exploitation, ecologists would be engaged in interventions that aim to restore the original flora, in particular mangrove forests essential for a healthy ecosystem and ensure the survival of local communities, especially in very degraded areas where biodiversity is seriously threatened. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, the solutions that some suggest to form glaciers to accumulate water reserves for the summer months should be noted, in practice it would be enough to channel streams of water on land (statics permitting) where the temperature remains very low so that layers of ice are formed, then gradually the subsequent layers will consolidate until they form a glacier; then just cover with natural insulating material.

Obese in large numbers in the world
Without incisive changes it is estimated that three billion and eight hundred million adults will be obese in fifteen years, at least according to an estimate by researchers who point out that the epidemic of overweight and obesity is seen as a kind of tragedy, then the problem is that adolescents are increasingly overweight or obese with significant repercussions from the point of view of health. According to forecasts for example a third of all obese young people will live in two regions such as North Africa and the Middle East, then Latin America and the Caribbean, but there would be time to intervene to ensure that this does not happen. Generally the world has gone from nine hundred and twenty-nine million obese people in 1990 to two billion and six hundred million in 2021, more than half of overweight and obese people live in just eight countries: China, India, the United States, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia and Egypt.

A cyclone approaches Brisbane in Australia
A rare tropical cyclone called "Alfred" is approaching the densely populated east coast of Australia and in particular threatens Brisbane, the third most populated city in the country; there is talk of emergency warnings with hundreds of schools closed and danger of flooding for thousands of homes. Torrential rainfall and potentially destructive gusts of wind are expected, then high waves on the coasts and in the city of Brisbane alone a forecast model warns that almost twenty thousand homes could be flooded. Sandbags have been distributed to defend against any flooding and supermarket shelves are often partially empty to accumulate stock. While cyclones are quite frequent in tropical waters and therefore quite warm it is rare for them to form in colder waters and therefore in this case it would be the first since 1974.

Floods in Jakarta in Indonesia
Days of heavy rainfall with consequent flooding have forced thousands of people to leave their homes in Indonesia's capital Jakarta, then more intense rains are expected in the coming days. There is talk of submerged roads where rescue must be brought with rubber dinghies, while the authorities plan to activate pumps to extract water from flooded areas, then evacuation centers have been set up and basic necessities have been distributed to the rescued people; difficulties due to flooding also in the hospital in the city of Bekasi forcing the evacuation of patients. It is worth mentioning the change of flooding scenery also in the Canary Islands due to intense cloudbursts with roads transformed into torrents of water and mud with difficulties and inconvenience for the population.

Damage on the Reunion island hit by a cyclone
The island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean in French overseas territory was recently lashed by cyclone "Garance" which caused damage, uncovering roofs, uprooting trees and leaving tens of thousands of users without electricity and water; then there is talk of at least two victims and inconvenience for the population. Torrential rainfall turned the streets into torrents of flooding water that swept over cars and dragged debris, some people said they were frightened by the force of the cyclone. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that the melting of the Antarctic ice could slow down the circumpolar current, at least from the results of a study that simulated a scenario with high greenhouse gas emissions over the next twenty-five years with an Australian supercomputer.

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).
