   Excessive tourist presence in Antarctica

It is estimated that the number of tourists visiting Antarctica each year has increased from twenty thousand to one hundred twenty thousand over two decades, but this has significantly raised the pollutants released into the environment from the combustion of petroleum derivatives that power ships, airplanes, vehicles, and support infrastructures; the concentration of fine particles containing heavy metals (such as nickel, zinc, copper, and lead) would be ten times higher than it was forty years ago. Snow melts on the white continent much faster due to the fine polluting particles, to the extent that a single tourist can contribute to the melting of up to one hundred tons of snow, and this could lead to potentially irreversible climate changes driven by climate change, with ocean levels rising by meters, resulting in consequences deemed truly disastrous for generations.

   Unprecedented situation in Spain regarding wildfires

According to Spanish authorities the situation concerning wildfires is unprecedented in the last twenty years, this is attributed to a combination of factors such as the heatwave that has been affecting the country for some time (with peaks of up to forty-five degrees Celsius) and strong winds, all exacerbated by climate change. It is estimated that almost three hundred and fifty thousand hectares of vegetation have gone up in smoke, an area figuratively comparable to the size of the island of Mallorca, with casualties, damage, and complaints from some about the disruption of part of the Camino de Santiago while high flames in some areas continue to engage firefighters. For many European countries it has been quite a disastrous wildfire season; in Portugal around two hundred and sixteen thousand hectares of vegetation have been affected by the blazes, and in France following a major fire in Aude new intervention planning is being proposed for such cases.

   A hurricane strikes Puerto Rico

The category four hurricane called "Erin" has battered Puerto Rico with torrential rainfall and strong wind gusts causing flooding and disruptions, it is then quickly approaching the Bahamas in the Caribbean (which has already been affected by heavy rain and wind along with a wide area in the North Atlantic) and the trajectory of the strong vortex according to weather forecasts, could get closer to the coasts of the United States up to Canada, possibly strengthening slightly at first but gradually weakening afterwards. It is worth mentioning changing the subject but remaining on natural themes that a violent storm in southern Spain at a beach near Granada has damaged structures, uprooted trees and required the rescue of five people on boats pushed offshore, while devastating wildfires continue to ravage the country fueled by climate change.

There would be at least three hundred and forty-four victims and over one hundred and fifty missing in northwestern Pakistan due to intense monsoon rains and subsequent floods and landslides, the authorities have sent thousands of rescuers who are searching for the missing by digging through houses buried by large masses of landslide debris; streams of water and mud have also swept away cars and much debris. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the significant damage to vegetation in Spain in the vast areas affected by fires fueled by gusts of wind and one of the longest heat waves ever recorded in Europe since monitoring this type of data began, there are reports of victims and injuries, with firefighters severely burned while trying to tackle the flames near Ourense in the northwestern region of Galicia.

   Accelerated plasticization of the planet

Given that at a recent conference in Geneva in Switzerland where a plan was to be decided to reduce plastic production there was widespread confusion among the participants and the plan was adrift it is clear that the direction towards a "plasticization of the planet" appears to be increasingly accelerated. It is estimated that with the current trend of plastic production based on fossil fuel consumption production will triple by 2060 reaching about one billion two hundred million tons per year, with one billion tons dumped into the environment risking entering the food chain. It is evident that if we consume microplastics and even breathe them the organic tissues will be exposed to inflammation as has long been shown in animals along with a whole series of side effects for which there are now even studies.

   Alert for record floods in Alaska

Authorities in Alaska have declared a maximum level alert for the danger of flooding in the capital Juneau due to the sudden thermal collapse of the Mendenhall Glacier, located about nineteen kilometers from the city and a popular tourist destination, resulting in the release of large amounts of water. The flooding has already begun due to heavy rainfall and melted snow accumulating in the basin flowing into Mendenhall Lake and River; it is reported that this phenomenon has been occurring every year since 2011 due to climate change, with records set in 2023 and 2024, but last year the flooding reached almost five meters, damaging around three hundred homes.
