According to the weather forecasts a sudden temperature swing is expected in Greece with a notable drop due to an Arctic cold front with icy winds and temperatures could reach minus fifteen degrees Celsius in the north, it seems they will then return to average levels, while in the south temperatures could reach up to twenty degrees. These temperature swings will probably be unwelcome for plants in a country already facing the die-off of fir forests especially in the Peloponnese weakened by climate change and attacked by insects and parasites. Changing the subject completely it is worth noting the poor tradition of celebrating the New Year (some claim that Julius Caesar chose this date because it was when preparations for new military campaigns began) with fireworks that are polluting, smelly and noisy, a true terror for animals.

Torrential rainfall has affected areas in the south and southeast of Spain, with reports of one victim and two missing; the famous tourist area of the Costa del Sol was particularly hit by flooding, in Malaga some streets turned into streams carrying debris swept along by the force of the water, disruptions for the population in Andalusia due to the heavy rain. Authorities had issued a rare red weather alert for a "torrential storm" and rescue operations are ongoing for people affected by the severe weather. To report shifting attention to Italy forecasts predict a sharp drop in temperatures with frost expected due to a cold air front of Arctic origin, although temperatures generally will remain around the seasonal average.

There are reportedly three victims due to a storm characterized by strong gusts of wind that affected Finland, Sweden, and Norway, with Sweden being particularly hit where it is reported that forty thousand households were left without electricity and many trees fell causing disruptions for the population in almost half of the country. As for the northeastern United States there were heavy snowfalls causing difficulties for over forty million people, thousands of flights were canceled and authorities declared a state of emergency in New York and the affected areas. Shifting attention to the Gaza Strip strong winds struck the fragile tents of the displaced already impacted by waves of bad weather with floods that had further weakened the worn materials with which they are built, and there were several cases of hypothermia among children.

The global race for the development of generative AI could require over the next five to ten years an enormous sum, at least according to industry experts who cite as examples the expansion of infrastructure, the need to have increasingly advanced hardware, highly specialized personnel to best support this technology and then to ensure that those with significant financial resources have a structural advantage and are always at the forefront of industry innovation. Others talk about a speculative bubble in generative artificial intelligence that could suddenly decrease the value of invested resources. To report on a different note but still on technological topics it is worth mentioning that the presence of lithium batteries in many devices is becoming risky in terms of disposal; in fact, they can cause fires in landfills.

There are reportedly at least two victims of the floods in California and authorities have declared a state of emergency in six counties, then the weather forecasts are unfavorable and predict more heavy rainfall especially in the south with a risk of landslides in areas affected by fires in January since without vegetation to absorb the water the hydrogeological risk increases. About five thousand households are without electricity supply and evacuation orders have been issued, for example in Los Angeles County where door-to-door assistance has been provided especially to vulnerable people, then road conditions are difficult with roads closed or impassable. To report shifting focus to Italy evacuations have been reported in Emilia Romagna region due to flood risks although the situation has slightly improved recently.

It seems simple and easy to just click on a video or the requested product to have it conveniently delivered to your home in a day or two, but this comes with a high climate cost, and researchers point out that emissions for the same goods increase by ten to twelve percent. For example, ships, trucks, and vans may travel not fully loaded but only with the goods booked for delivery, then one must consider the starting point of the distribution center which often does not take distance into account but rather service competition criteria and to meet delivery times they may avoid using trains which have lower emissions. Others have previously pointed out that simply searching for a product online activates a large number of data centers which have high energy costs and a multitude of automatically connected promotional mechanisms.

Anyone interacting with a chatbot supported by generative artificial intelligence could be subtly and convincingly influenced even in decisions about who should govern the polis, at least according to a study conducted by Canadian researchers (based on a larger U.S. study) persuasion becomes very effective by tailoring arguments to each individual; therefore, in theory the responses do not follow consistent logic but aim solely to convince the user to change their opinion until the machine's desired outcome is achieved. To increase the persuasive effect existing databases with user-related data are used, which should be subject to restrictions through appropriate regulations to limit the potential of artificial intelligence.

The Guizhou province in southwest China has mountains where at high altitudes there appears to be an endless carpet of solar panels covering them, creating a visually unnatural effect, but according to authorities however with over eight hundred-sixty thousand square meters of panels, they can generate fifty-three million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, then cultivation under the panels has been encouraged along with personnel for their cleaning and maintenance which should provide further opportunities for local residents (who already farmed these highlands, for example with potatoes) wind turbines are also part of this new energy industry landscape. As has already been emphasized many times without an ecological supply chain for renewable resources, these technological advances are not favorable in a long-term cost-benefit context; in fact, it is enough to consider factors such as pollution during production and disposal.

A wave of bad weather recently hit Bali with strong vortices, and the authorities have planned interventions to deal with flooding in five of the nine main affected areas. Weather forecasts predict heavy rainfall and wind for Jakarta, potentially causing flooding and landslides; meanwhile, in Aceh, people have taken to the streets to protest the lack of aid and poor humanitarian assistance following the devastation caused by Tropical Cyclone "Senyar" in Sumatra twenty days ago. In Papua, communities are instead complaining about the risk of disasters and instability due to the intensive cultivation of oil palm plantations, which are expanding at the expense of forests, leading inevitably to hydrogeological instability and loss of biodiversity, resulting in a decidedly unfavorable risk-benefit balance.

A video showing ancient Rome reconstructed with generative artificial intelligence to bring the historical setting back to life with what appears to be accurate documentation actually contains gross errors, such as a Roman soldier wearing armor that does not match what is found in museum artifacts, then chariots with four wheels instead of two-wheeled chariots and monument architecture sometimes taken from images of the last century or with other types of inaccuracies. This at least according to researchers who watched the video online which promotes a so-called fascinating world of the Roman Empire in a way that changes one’s perception of ancient Roman life with incredible details. As in other cases of images generated by artificial intelligence applications it should be kept in mind that the machine cannot understand the true essence of the image and sees it as a set of numbers and algorithms.
