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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
