An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 was recorded in the south-west and west of Japan causing at least nine injuries, there is talk of strong tremors but without subsequent tsunami waves; then many people lost their balance and were forced to lean on something stable to be able to move finding it difficult to make every movement. There have been temporary interruptions in the supply of electricity in the areas most affected by the earthquake and some complain of damage due to the fall of various objects. To be noted changing the subject always in Japan the excessive exploitation of underground springs of geothermal hot water for quite futile uses (in houses in swimming pools and sometimes for tourism), with considerable environmental impact on the aquifer and a natural ecosystem defined as rather fragile.

The population of Tonga is severely tried by the damage caused by the eruption of the volcano "Hunga Ha'apai" which covered everything with a huge amount of volcanic material and then the tsunami wave; left without drinking water, with crops and two villages destroyed, communication problems due to the breakage of an internet cable that will take a few weeks to repair. About eighty percent of the inhabitants have been affected, but they declare themselves ready for reconstruction also to preserve their identity and are proceeding to clean everything from the ashes considering that the volcano is still active. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Syria a snowstorm hit a refugee camp causing tents to collapse due to the weight of the accumulated snow cover and causing at least one victim.

The Peruvian authorities have asked for compensation for the damage caused by the spillage of heavy hydrocarbons from a ship off the coast of Peru near Lima also due to the protests of local fishermen. The accident was caused by the tsunami that originated ten thousand kilometers away from an underwater volcano in the Tonga islands a few days ago and affected mainly a three-kilometer long stretch of beach, then the images provided by a drone show a thick oily layer in the sea probably due to the leakage from the ship of about six thousand barrels of crude oil following the strong wave motion. There is talk of ecological disaster with marine fauna affected (dead fish and birds floating on the dark oily spot) and considerable difficulties of the volunteers who try to clean up the smeared beach and face the emergency.

Some countries already provide a fourth dose of booster vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus for example for immunocompromised people, but on the advisability of administering this "booster" there would be conflicting opinions; in fact; there is sometimes talk of excessive boosters that could stress the immune system and how the third dose could have a fairly long protective duration or others who say that the Omicron variant for its ability to bypass the vaccination barrier requires another recall. Meanwhile the authorities of Great Britain declare that they have achieved herd immunity after having recently monitored a drop of about forty percent in infections, but even for this case some say that it is a decision perhaps a little hasty and in practice of non-existence of community immunity for the Covid-19 virus.

The data relating to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus infections in France, Germany and Brazil, fueled by the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant that some improperly define as light (it does not always resolve as with a simple cold), have led international organizations to declare that the end of the pandemic is still far away; then it worries for example Germany, which has recently recorded almost half a million cases a day. Five million cases of contagion monitored in Europe in a week and half of Europeans could be infected by March according to the forecasts of the epidemic trend that is being tried to cope with the booster dose. Italy recorded a record of four hundred and thirty-four victims in one day, but partly increased by a recount of the victims recorded in Sicily in previous days.

There has been no reliable news from the Tonga islands for two days due to the interruption of the internet connection provided by an underwater cable damaged by the eruption of the Hunga volcano and subsequent tsunami wave, but some say that the population has been left without water and food also because of the volcanic ash that has covered everything with a thick layer and therefore it is difficult to have access to clean and therefore drinkable water; then there is talk of three victims. The concern is greater for two small islands where just over a hundred people live and which may have been particularly affected (among other things, the air could be unbreathable). To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that even Canada as the east of the United States is now partially affected by a storm of snow, ice and gusts of wind.

A combination of heavy snowfall, ice and gusts of wind would be affecting over eighty million people in the east of the United States with significant consequences on mobility since some roads are impassable (sometimes for cars that have slipped on the road surface), many air flights were canceled, interruptions in the supply of electricity in large areas, then a stretch of a highway in North Carolina was closed. The roof of a school collapsed in North Carolina due to the snowstorm without causing injuries, but with inconvenience for the students. Authorities in Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina have declared a state of emergency. To be noted by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that off the Tonga islands there is talk of a new volcanic eruption and seismic activity has been monitored.

A loud roar would have accompanied the eruption of an underwater volcano off the Tonga Islands that caused a tsunami over a meter high that caused damage defined as significant to the capital Nuku'alofa that remained covered by volcanic dust even if there were no victims or injuries and everything is now calm. Hundreds the displaced people and many homes flooded, then being the lines of communication partially interrupted there may have been injuries and damage in affected areas not communicated (New Zealand sent planes for a reconnaissance). The tsunami wave reached Japan, California, Chile ten thousand kilometers away and many countries without causing damage. The eruption lasted at least eight minutes launching clouds of volcanic gas and dust at great heights and any other eruptions are not excluded.

Continue to increase the overall cases monitored in Italy due to the high contagiousness of the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (well over eighty percent, with the remaining Delta); then a record of three hundred and sixty victims was also reached in one day that brings the total since the beginning of the pandemic to over one hundred and forty thousand victims with eight million three hundred thousand infections. There is talk of health difficulties in the management of nCov wards, full intensive care and controversy related to the counting system of asymptomatic people, who need treatment and tested positive for the virus with consequent postponements of medical and surgical interventions. Meanwhile in the world some report a total of over five million five hundred thousand victims with three hundred and twenty million infections; over fifteen million in a week, but many cases remain unmonitored.

Simply monitoring the increase in the average temperatures of the globe may not be a good method to measure the so-called fever of the planet, at least in the opinion of researchers who advise to also look at the signs of nature such as the ice-sheet melt, the changes in the habits of animals and parameters related to migrations; in fact, 2021 turns out to be in sixth place among the hottest years even if this does not mean that the trajectory of overheating is falling. It would be necessary to analyze the various vital signs of the planet, for example, taking care to measure the intensity of complex extreme effects and not just archive simple data, then was already known that was necessary to take into account the cooling caused by the global current "La Nina" considering also that the measurements made can have a margin of error.
