High number of fires in the Amazon in 2024

Last year the Amazon rainforest recorded the highest number of fires in seventeen years, then there are months of intense drought that have fueled the fires, forty-two percent more than in 2023; however if calculate from satellite observations the total area that went up in smoke seems to be the lowest in years. The Brazilian authorities said they would commit to the protection of Amazon forests also in view of the COP30 conference in November in the city of Belem in the Amazon. Away across South America last month suffered from a severe drought, at least according to data collected from a European atmospheric monitoring service. The columns of smoke that emanated from the fires reached great distances, carrying soot to large cities such as Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and San Paulo.

Small amphibians essential for ecosystems

Many ecosystems in the world remain vital due to the presence of small amphibians that are often threatened by climate change, for example a devastating pandemic of a fungus (cytridiomycosis) has caused the disappearance of frogs essential to ensure the biodiversity of fragile uncontaminated environments. The researchers argue that frogs that have managed to survive could represent the key to the survival of other species, then making a kind of comparison with Covid-19 for humans it is as if the SARS-CoV-2 virus had a mortality rate of ninety-nine percent. There are solutions to be adopted to safeguard frogs such as small saunas heated by the sun where amphibians can warm up and heal from infection and at the same time become resistant to future attacks of the fungus.

Varicella virus reactivation and cardiovascular events

In the event that the varicella-zoster virus reactivates (also called St. Anthony's fire in jargon) not only can painful events and various complications occur but also increase the risk of rare cardiovascular problems, so it would be necessary to take preventive measures especially in patients suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system. There is talk of a clear increase in the risk of myocardial infarction up to cardiac arrest in patients where the annoying shingles with previous cardiovascular problems occurs. With the average increase in the age of the world population, the incidence of herpes-zoster cases is expected to increase, then as age advances immunocompromised conditions are more frequent and therefore this can cause the varicella-zoster virus that has remained silent to re-emerge.

Think twice before getting a tattoo

Removing a tattoo could be a more difficult, expensive and annoying operation than doing it; so some say that it is better to think twice before deciding to enter a shop where these drawings are made on the skin, sometimes it even painful, then it seems that many people want to change it or get tired of having it (it can remember periods of life related to a past that for example they would like to forget), But it is not so simple to proceed with the removal. Some colors are more difficult to eliminate with specific lasers and an unpleasant halo remains, then the color molecules can migrate and reach the organs even if progressively over time the pigments have generally become safer and it is appropriate to write a reminder on the type of specific dye used on the date of the tattoo.

Control regulations for artificial intelligence

Carrying out detailed reports and analyses on how the state of New York uses artificial intelligence software would be the purpose of a new recent legislation also aimed at software that uses algorithms, computational models or techniques that always exploit the potential of artificial intelligence, then this collected material will have to be posted online to be examined by government and legislative authorities. Experts have long been asking for more stringent regulations to regulate artificial intelligence, then for generative intelligence if really don't want to disable it completely, at least prohibit the use of images (or sequences that become videos) that cause intense but false emotions with consequences up to serious neurological disorders in the unfortunate victims of these incredibly sophisticated misleading images that perfectly simulate reality.

Systems for better tsunami prevention

The warning systems currently installed around the globe to warn the population of the arrival of a potentially disastrous tsunami would not be entirely efficient, at least as far as a check carried out on the signal buoys that have batteries that last about two years and need to be replaced is concerned. Only fifty percent of the buoys were operational although apparently enough to operate the system that was designed to provide coverage even in these cases, but some argue that better prevention would be needed; then the systems are sometimes outdated as technology, this twenty years after the Banda Aceh disaster and the tsunami caused by a magnitude 9.1 earthquake in the Indian Ocean with consequent waves over thirty meters high that literally swept away entire villages leaving signs that are still visible.

Wave of bad weather in Italy

Wind gusts uprooted a tree near Rome that overwhelmed two women, one died the other is in serious condition, with controversy about the maintenance of the plants of the park where the tree that had its roots partly cut fell; then there is talk of a fishing boat struggling with high storms it sank with the two fishermen on the Roman coast. In the Marche region the wave of bad weather has caused snowfall even at low altitude with inconvenience, while there is talk of an alert for several regions in the peninsula. Of note changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in the French archipelago of the Mayotte lashed recently by the cyclone "Chido" are missing essential good places, then forty percent of the hospital rooms of the capital Mamoudzou is unusable, so it is not known where to hospitalize many people who go for treatment, thirty-five victims of the strong vortex as well as many injured and significant damage.

Winter Olympic Games increasingly precarious

By 2050 only half of the twenty-one cities that previously hosted the Winter Olympic Games will have conditions to allow these sporting events due to climate change, at least according to forecasts; then as the average temperatures rise globally, the games will have to adapt to a rather precarious situation characterized by cancellations of competitions, concerns about the safety of events and an increase in the demand for plants that allow artificial snowmaking. These difficulties have already been widely presented with complaints from athletes, for example with regard to the safety of ski descents with accidents and even victims. To report by changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a landslide in British Columbia in Canada that occurred recently at the village of Lions Bay, two victims in addition to mud and debris a stretch of highway.

Desertification in alarming increase

It is estimated from the data of a new study that one billion and two hundred thousand people and an area of about one and a half billion hectares larger as the size of Antarctica is affected by desertification with unreassuring forecasts for the future. To cope with desertification, almost two hundred countries recently attended a COP16 conference in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, but with little results about the discussions held by the United Nations to combat desertification (UNCCD) and this after a whole series of conferences for example on biodiversity in Colombia, on reducing the use of plastic in South Korea, on the financing of countries affected by climate change in Azerbaijan with in practice little light and many shadows. Needless to say that without interventions the fertile soil it will become progressively less and less productive and this will have significant consequences on the displacement of populations and the cost of food.

Prohibition for e-cigarettes sale in Vietnam

Satisfaction in Vietnam of many parents of children who smoke e-cigarettes about the ban on the sale from next year in the country of these e-cigarettes that were spreading very quickly especially in a young audience that often smokes outside schools exposing those nearby to secondhand smoke, then seem to smoke even in hospitals where it is forbidden. The e-cigarette stores in Vietnam were multiplying and with the ban on sales there are fears that it could be circumvented by the black market, so a well-planned strategy should be adopted on the different aspects by combining the stringent measures to the sales restrictions with targeted reinforcement measures so that they can really be effective for this complex sector and that represents a real challenge.
