Economic system in Sumatra poorly suited after the floods
When everything functions with stable markets, predictable incomes, and working institutions an economic system 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.

UK intentions to ban social media for young people
Perhaps by the end of the year Britain could follow Australia's example and then later similar initiatives and intentions in France, Spain, Greece, and Slovenia to ban social media for those under sixteen, then pressure is also growing in this direction on social media platforms to safeguard young people's health even though there are tensions in creating strict regulations in the sector. Another point to note is the question some have raised regarding so-called "digital clones" of a person allowed by generative artificial intelligence which can survive the death of the individual, it's as if a deceased person continued to live and act virtually; therefore, measures should be taken to prevent such a situation, moreover just talking about a virtual clone of a human being is already quite disturbing.

Flood damage in southwestern France
There are reportedly two victims in southwestern France due to recent flooding caused by a storm, the ground is saturated and unable to absorb water and the alert remains high for the Garonne River; then in general the whole country has experienced a period of warnings with eighty-one departments affected due to the water levels of one hundred fifty-four rivers an unusually severe situation and sometimes even a little rainfall is enough because the land is already soaked. To report shifting the attention to Italy the damage count in Calabria region from floods in the province of Cosenza and the shock over the collapse of a famous natural monument consisting of an arch on a sea stack on the coast in the province of Lecce in Salento in Puglia region, which had become a tourist attraction for its picturesque "postcard-like" coastal formation.

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.
