Due to the difficulty of passage of ships laden with fertilizers because of a conflict that also affects the important Strait of Hormuz, there are concerns about the stability of the global agricultural sector, then the rise in the price of hydrocarbons used to power agricultural machinery, greenhouses and transportation for crops risks further worsening the situation. Trying to return to practicing a type of local organic farming could help address these shortages; in fact, it requires less use of fertilizers and does not necessitate transporting agricultural products over long distances, then lately some have also spoken about hidden dangers in intensive farming which tends to contaminate soils with heavy metals, these potentially toxic dangers often go unnoticed, with consequences for organisms.

A storm affected some regions in central-southern Italy, with a missing person reported due to the collapse of a bridge over the Trigno river between Abruzzo and Molise regions on the Adriatic highway, flooding of the Pescara River, then several landslides, people left isolated, others dealing with difficult train travel with endless journeys; in Puglia region there was flooding of the Cervaro River in the province of Foggia. As for Greece there is a report of one victim and flooded areas in Attica, severe damage to roads, firefighters forced to intervene in many situations causing hardship for the population, with areas covered in mud and debris, numerous landslides, damaged pipelines, and widespread use of pumps in flooded homes.

It has long been well known that climate change challenges all materials and it is not surprising that in France, periods of intense heat followed by periods of heavy rainfall could apparently cause structural damage to twelve million homes and that homeowners are trying to protect themselves at least against the most expensive repairs. Developing new materials that adapt to climate change could be useful not only to prevent structural damage to homes but also to ensure the safety of important infrastructure, then for example even in the road sector with road surfaces subjected to strong temperature variations, downpours, hailstorms and gusts of wind a solution should be found to sometimes avoid having to do a sort of risky "slalom" between potholes.

The heavy rainfall that is already affecting Abruzzo region with a red weather alert could worsen the situation regarding the landslide in Silvi in the province of Teramo, where some houses have already collapsed and others are at risk of being carried away by the shifting ground. The situation is said to resemble on a smaller scale what happened in Niscemi in Sicily; then in Molise a dam is causing concern and water is being released. Several trees have fallen due to wind gusts sometimes causing injuries as happened in Lazio and then heavy winter-type snowfall in some central regions. To report changing the subject but remaining on natural topics that in the mountains of western United States and Canada a kind of anomalous heat dome linked to climate change is rapidly melting the snow cover.

Such would be the amount of heat released by large data centers used to support generative artificial intelligence to cause heat islands and according to a study capable in some cases of affecting even more than three hundred and forty million people, with an impact on hotter temperatures that rises even taking into account other factors due to climate change. The temperature increases seem to be significant globally, and among the locations considered for example there is the Bajio region in Mexico and then Aragon in Spain. To report changing the topic but staying on natural themes a landslide in Silvi in the province of Teramo in the Abruzzo region of Italy with the collapse of houses (one shortly after people had been evacuated), possibly due to previous heavy rainfall in recent days causing infiltration into the ground.

The usual disagreements are emerging at a conference being held in Bangkok in Thailand between developing and developed countries on topics such as ending the use of fossil fuels, compensation for damage caused by climate change, and funds to be allocated to adapt to extreme events. Apparently a role in the matter is played by a previous request from Saudi Arabia, India and China to delay the next publication of a key environmental report until 2029, after a COP33 conference considered crucial that will take place in 2028 (probably in India) and this would allow additional reference climate data to be included; but the latest reports already speak of a record concentration of CO2 with climate changes intensifying through interconnected systems such as oceans, cryosphere and atmosphere.

At an international conference with over one hundred and thirty countries being held in Campo Grande in Brazil discussions took place on how to provide further protection to endangered species such as the giant otter, hammerhead shark, hyenas, and also the snow owl; indeed, the natural world is deeply interconnected and for example deforestation, climate change, and industrial fishing represent a threat to that kind of connection among continents, oceans, ecosystems, cultures, and therefore all of us. If the number of giant otters, which are apex predators, declines it means the destruction of their habitat also due to pollution; therefore suitable protected areas should be guaranteed and collaboration among countries should be pursued in order to plan effective initiatives for the safeguarding of dozens of migratory species considered endangered.

A wave of Arctic-origin bad weather with a Norwegian cyclone characterized by a sharp drop in temperatures and very cold wind gusts, storms, and rough seas is affecting several regions in Italy, there is also talk of frost in the Po Valley in western areas (which could damage crops) and low-altitude snowfall; rough seas with high waves have occurred particularly on some coasts of Sardinia. To report changing the subject but staying on natural topics the floods that recently hit Dubai and some areas of the United Arab Emirates due to unusually heavy rainfall for the period, causing traffic to be paralyzed or rather problematic in the city and inconvenience for the population with homes and businesses flooded in a country where various extreme phenomena had already caused debate in the past.

After a decision regarding the danger for young people of becoming addicted to the so-called scrolling of images and video streaming represented by a well-known social network of authorities in New Mexico, even in Los Angeles there is talk of the deliberate use of techniques to encourage a kind of addiction that can threaten the well-being of children on two social media platforms. Another risk according to some is represented by artificial intelligence used by young people; in fact, practically almost no one now uses their own mind to produce a complex piece of writing, relying on the help of this questionable "thinking" technology; then in general if we analyze the percentage of texts written in the world perhaps we are already at the point where generative artificial intelligence surpasses human writing, not to mention that often writing is done while unknowingly reading texts partly produced by machines.

The wildfire season has become longer, and Europe would be dangerously unprepared to face a crisis caused by forest fires, at least according to a Portuguese report that highlights the low investment in firefighting planes and helicopters, the increased risks in southern Europe due to climate changes that make vegetation drier and more susceptible to fire. Fires that usually occurred from the first days of June to mid-September now start earlier and end later in the year and they can also affect northern countries; for example one thousand and one hundred hectares of vegetation were burned in Sweden last year with an increase of more than one hundred twenty percent compared to the recent average, there has also been an increase in fires in Finland and Denmark, while Spain, Portugal, Romania, Italy, Greece, and France (in that order) were the most affected.
