Considerations on sunscreen protection factor
In case of prolonged sun exposure it is advisable to use a protective sunscreen, but apparently the sun protection factor that appears stamped with a prominent number on the packaging may not be entirely reliable; in fact, some researchers claim that the protection is broad-spectrum but refers to the protective factor only for the more superficial UVB rays, while UVA (ultraviolet A) rays penetrate more deeply and both can cause DNA damage and consequently potential skin cancers. The higher the protective factor number the longer one can theoretically stay under the sun without getting sunburned, but it also depends on various factors; generally, two milligrams per square centimeter of skin should be applied and the applications in the time would be repeated, and then there would also be ecological considerations regarding these products especially in the case of swimming in the sea.

Condition of infrastructure and means of transportation
Climate change with significant temperature fluctuations, heavy rainstorms and strong winds often tends to worsen the condition of infrastructure by weakening road surfaces, causing cracks that can later turn into sometimes deep potholes. Vehicles should be appropriately adapted, for example by reinforcing tires, shock absorbers, torsion bars and stabilizers; in fact, beyond causing breakdowns, there is a risk of losing control of the vehicle leading to dangerous accidents. Some people say that in electric and hybrid cars, hitting a deep pothole can damage the battery pack or reduce performance, these vehicles are generally heavier than combustion cars, which in theory makes them more likely to suffer damage when driving over a pothole, in addition to widening it due to the impact of a moving vehicle with a possible pothole.

Record rainfall in February in France
According to monitored data February in France was on average the rainiest month since 1959, with reports of forty days of continuous rainfall surpassing the record of thirty-two in 2023, particularly affecting the southwest of the country due to consequent flooding. There were a series of storms and severe weather along the Atlantic axis favored by two anticyclones centered over Africa and Northern Europe. As usual climate change plays a role with a warmer atmosphere containing more water vapor thereby increasing the potential for intense rainfall (in some areas since January 1 the equivalent of an entire winter's worth of rain or even more). To report on another note but still related to natural events that there were thirty-two victims and dozens missing in Brazil's Minas Gerais state in the southwest of the country due to a landslide caused by heavy rainfall.

Economic system in Sumatra poorly suited after the floods
When everything functions with stable markets, predictable incomes, and working institutions an economic tissue tends to operate normally, but after the floods in Indonesia in November 2025 some point out that activities in many villages are still paralyzed with inevitable economic consequences; therefore the tax system should be adapted to the conditions, made suitable for recovery and flexible in order to support a range of initiatives such as clearing roads of debris, rebuilding schools and hospitals, repairing irrigation channels and pipelines, allowing normal agricultural practices as well as reinforcing embankments to prevent potential future floods. It is worth noting that with climate change it had long been observed that economic systems need to be adjusted to the new conditions of the global ecosystem.

Disruptions due to snowstorm in the northeastern U.S.
Millions of people have been forced to stay home due to hazardous weather conditions with icy wind gusts and snowfall that have covered vast areas of the northeastern United States with a thick layer, emergency declarations from Delaware to Massachusetts and hundreds of thousands of people left without power due to fallen power lines. Visibility is often extremely low due to the blizzard conditions, thousands of flights have been canceled; there are reports of a very strong cyclone due to a drastic drop in atmospheric pressure of at least twenty-four millibars in one day along the Northeast coast, then weather forecasts for the southeastern part of the Boston-Providence corridor also warn of a potentially very intense storm. Disruptions for the population are inevitable forcing people to move on foot on sometimes impassable roads.

Snowstorm hits New York and the northeast U.S.
Authorities in New York City which has over eight million residents have reportedly issued a travel ban on the road network (except for those ensuring essential services and emergency operations in the city) due to an incoming snowstorm that will affect large areas of the U.S. northeast. It is estimated that fifty-four million people may be affected, snow has already begun falling and in some areas visibility is reduced; this follows a previous cold weather system that had already caused over one hundred fatalities. To report changing the topic but remaining with natural themes the ecological worsening health of the Mediterranean Sea, with increasingly warmer waters, record levels of microplastics, rising water levels leading to coastal erosion and several beaches having already disappeared.

Questions about a tragic avalanche in California
The investigative inquiries launched in the Sierra Nevada following a recent avalanche that caused the deaths of eight skiers and left one missing regarding possible negligence by the company organizing the ski trip despite the arrival of a severe storm, raise in general the questions about other tragic events that have occurred in various mountainous regions of the world; in fact, usually a simple avalanche warning is enough to deter skiers from what could be a dangerous descent, then with climate change the snow cover is often less compact and unstable. To report changing the topic but remaining with natural themes the understandable complaints of the survivors of the disastrous floods in Sumatra three months ago who had to undertake "religious fasts" while living in makeshift shelters with high daytime temperatures that then become freezing at night.

Equipping technologies with a stop button
A technology without a button, a lever, or a plug that can be removed to turn it off is obviously not positive, just as uncontrolled power can cause more harm than benefits; therefore for example generative artificial intelligence should not have areas of autonomy and any decision it makes should have human supervision. Even the father of artificial intelligence (G.H.) talks about the risk that it could become smarter than us and take over also because it is impossible to predict what advancements this technology will make. There are figurative parallels drawn with maternal instincts and other typical human characteristics as a way to put some brakes on it, but in the case of a super-intelligent AI it is difficult to imagine a scenario of unregulated competition to develop technology that is not human-centered.

Climate change hinders coffee cultivation
The regions of the planet suitable for coffee cultivation are reportedly experiencing an average of forty-seven days of excessive heat each year, according to a study conducted in twenty-five countries representing almost all coffee production from 2021 to 2025. For Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, the figure rises to fifty-seven additional days of abnormal heat for a production that accounts for seventy-five percent of the total. Temperatures above thirty Celsius degrees are considered quite harmful for Arabica quality and are not ideal for Robusta quality either and these two coffee plant species support the majority of global production, then it had already been observed that erratic rainfall promotes the growth of mold, fungi and diseases inevitably leading to higher prices for lower-quality products.

Studies on avian flu strain in Antarctica
A strain of avian influenza described as capable of causing the death of one hundred percent of infected wildlife in a short period of time is reportedly spreading in an area of Antarctica, according to the observations of a Chilean researcher who in April 2024 identified this particularly dangerous strain on the icy continent, now affecting a coastal area of about nine hundred kilometers. In Antarctica this strain (found for example in cormorants, kelp gulls, penguins, and fur seals) has the ability to spread to other regions and can cause the death of ninety to one hundred percent of infected animals in one or two days. A global wave of avian flu in birds and mammals has been reported since 2021; in 2023 it caused the death of thousands of Humboldt penguins in Chile; then generally some say that the situation needs to be closely monitored.
