It is unhealthy for the body to sleep with temperatures that never drop below twenty degrees Celsius (in some cases even thirty); in fact, the body struggles to fully recover its energy, and the quality of sleep can hardly be sufficient. If the humidity in the air is also high it is difficult to dissipate heat through sweating. In Italy the zero thermal level is above five thousand meters, oppressive heat waves with stagnant air, heat islands in cities due to heat accumulating in cemented areas, on busy streets, in large asphalt parking lots, from the external units of air conditioners; for example, some say that in cities like Bologna the perceived temperature stays at forty degrees even in the evening hours, making it definitely not refreshing after spending a sunny and little breezy day.

The storm occurred after a very hot period due in part to an African high-pressure system that is settled over Europe with high temperature peaks. To report shifting the attention to Greece, fires have occurred on the island of Palea Fokea, also favored by the high temperatures, forcing many residents to evacuate, while the country’s authorities warn of the high risk of fires in Attica, Evia, Laconia, and areas of the North Aegean, urging the population to be very careful not to start fires.

Five fronts of fire are burning the vegetation of the Greek island of Chios, with talk of a state of emergency being declared and a nightmare night for the firefighting teams working to tackle the high flames, and for the frightened population facing wildfires that are encroaching on homes, leading to evacuations. The most affected areas are said to be Agios Georgios Sykousi, Vessa, and Dafnonas, while investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fires, with strong suspicion that they may be arson (possibly well-planned regarding the damage to be caused), while evacuation messages multiply for the highest-risk areas. As for the predictions of extreme heat, there are fears that temperatures could exceed forty degrees in the coming days due to a heatwave fueled by an African anticyclone, with a high danger of fires also due to possible gusts of wind.

Many people choose to have a friend through an application supported by artificial intelligence; it seems that these so-called chatbots are truly realistic and capable of understanding the interlocutor's most intimate needs. It seems that it's not just a simple projection of what one wants to hear but rather a sophisticated system that engages in real-time dialogue, adapting to the person by understanding their needs and responding in a way that simulates human interaction. Naturally it is pure illusion and the application is designed to be human-like skillfully exploiting the vulnerabilities of the specific person, a sly and very convincing companion (definitely to be avoided without a second thought); moreover one must not forget that it is certainly not environmentally friendly as every simulated response undoubtedly requires a significant polluting energy demand.

The pollen season has significantly lengthened due to climate change and prolonged exposure causes allergies that can be very bothersome: runny nose, burning eyes, asthmatic symptoms and a marked feeling of discomfort. It is estimated that about a quarter of adults in Europe suffer from respiratory allergies, including severe asthmatic forms, while among children, the percentage ranges from thirty to forty percent; it is expected that by 2050, half of Europeans will suffer from symptoms related to the significant increase in allergies. The concentration of pollen and spores in plants has increased, and with the heat invasive species with very aggressive pollen tend to proliferate, while air pollution increases individual sensitivity to allergens; in some regions there are reports of waves of allergens especially in industrialized areas.

Many indicators such as carbon dioxide pollution, sea level rise, and global warming would be in uncharted territories, meaning the planet is rapidly destined to reach a level of one and a half degrees Celsius increase in global temperatures. For example emissions from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation in 2024 reached a new record (over fifty-three billion tons per year, which corresponds to one hundred thousand tons per minute). Some argue that this limit has already been significantly surpassed and the target should now be raised to two degrees, but the transition to renewable energy is too slow. To report staying on environmental issues recently in China the typhoon "Wutip" struck the southern of Hainan island, leading to mass evacuations in the area of the Sanya city.

A significant decline in crops is expected in the coming decades according to some studies for example for wheat and cereals due to global warming, but appropriate adaptation practices by farmers could make a difference, which could limit the spike in prices of all foods that have wheat and cereals as ingredients, the production of which is anyway destined to decrease even while trying to adapt to climate change. Among the strategies to adopt there is talk of planting different varieties with fertilizers and irrigation targeted to those specific varieties, then some argue that it is necessary to monitor plant health with specific tools so that they are not attacked by pests; indeed, a struggling crop becomes more susceptible to diseases and the yield tends to decrease drastically due to the self-defense mechanisms of the seedlings.
