Bad weather in some regions of Italy
Disruptions in Calabria region in the province of Cosenza due to floods and landslides, resulting in evacuations, isolated families, damaged crops and difficulties. There are reports of the overflowing of the Busento, Campagnano, and Crati rivers. Near Rome a retaining wall collapsed due to heavy recent rainfall hitting an apartment building and causing one fatality, meanwhile the wave of bad weather is affecting other regions with various weather warnings. To report on a different note but still related to environmental issues there is controversy over the intention of the American authorities to repeal a regulation aimed at reducing pollutant emissions (based on a scientific report that identifies greenhouse gases as harmful to Americans' health), the goal is essentially to support the fossil fuel industry amid skepticism about transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Damage from a storm in southwestern France
A storm marked by heavy rainfall and gusts of wind exceeding one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour swept through southwestern France, with reports of storm surges along the coasts causing boats to sink and erosion; there were also for example floods from the Gironde River leading to inundated streets and towns, uprooted trees, and damage to infrastructure, eight hundred and fifty thousand homes left without electricity. To report shifting the attention to Italy that in Sardinia region navigation is difficult (a fishing boat recently sank) due to rough seas and strong winds affecting the coasts and causing disruptions, in Calabria region high waves continue to erode the coasts often in areas where major rail lines and roads pass; it goes without saying that their routes should be moved further inland and in protected area.

Initiatives to protect young people from Internet
Data monitored on how adolescents are influenced by digital applications shows a clear increase in the distress experienced by the most vulnerable youngsters, especially during transitional periods considered critical for character development (with a brain not yet fully developed), therefore some propose initiatives for targeted interventions, educational programs and preventive actions; then enhancing digital security, providing psychosocial support, all to offer support at every level to the people involved for an effective protection against potential online risks. Banning the use of social networks for those under sixteen is already a regulation to be adopted for example planned in countries like France and Spain and generally the European Union aims not only at social networks but also considers banning artificial intelligence, although there is resistance to these initiatives.

Japan struggling with roof snow removal
At least thirty-five people are reported dead and four hundred injured in Japan mainly due to falls from roofs while clearing snow, masses of cold Arctic air caused heavy snowfall especially in regions facing the Sea of Japan where snow accumulation in some areas reached record levels, creating difficulties and making roads hard to passable in addition to cancellations of rail services. Apparently it is common in the country to clear snow from roofs to prevent them from collapsing and accidents occur every year, but this year they are particularly frequent. Shifting focus to Spain significant damages from floods in Andalusia are noted while major disruptions for the population continue in areas affected by a storm.

Abnormal hot and cold temperatures in Canada
Two types of winter are occurring in Canada with areas of the country where trees are blooming and others covered by a thick blanket of snow with the cities of Vancouver and Toronto cited as examples of these climate anomalies, the first without snow for forty-three years and with cherry trees in bloom and the second very cold with a thick layer of snow, then there are places where ski and ice skating facilities have been closed and others where lakes have frozen over as well as places with alerts due to icy wind gusts and extremely low temperatures. A polar vortex characterized by cold Arctic fronts is said to be responsible for the waves of low temperatures which sometimes tend to weaken, this situation of abnormal temperatures (both in terms of cold and heat on average) has also been partially monitored in some European countries.

Bad weather in Spain in Andalusia
A storm characterized by heavy rainfall, downpours and gusts of wind is affecting Andalusia in Spain, there is talk of a missing person and about three thousand five hundred people affected by flooding due to what is described as a sort of atmospheric river loaded with moisture, with the ground no longer able to absorb the water. Many roads are impassable and streams of water converge into raging torrents and infiltrate because the soil is too saturated and raising concerns about the very high river levels, then rescuers are busy responding to numerous calls for help. Weather forecasts warn of the possible impact of the storm on the Balearic and alerts have been issued to be cautious of bad weather across all the islands, a similar situation is occurring in Galicia across all provinces and with other areas of Spain experiencing the storm with lesser intensity.
