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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
