Floods in Kosovo and North Sulawesi in Indonesia
Two days of heavy rainfall in the western and central municipalities of Kosovo have caused flooding with entire neighborhoods submerged, followed by reports of power outages, partially submerged cars, and a state of emergency declared by authorities in the affected areas, while weather forecasts predict more heavy rain across the Balkans. As for Indonesia storms are reported to have caused at least sixteen deaths and eighteen injuries, with alerts remaining high due to the formation of a cyclone in the southwest Indian Ocean, then shifting focus to the situation in Aceh schools remain closed more than a month after the disastrous cyclone "Senyar" and local residents often complain about a lack of intervention, aid, and having to face the emergency without resources.

Italy divided in two by weather conditions
While in the northern regions there is talk of clear skies and freezing temperatures with peaks exceeding minus ten degrees Celsius in some areas and generally severe discomfort for mountain-goers (with advisories to take appropriate precautions with suitable clothing and accessories for the conditions), in the center extreme weather occurred with downpours and a tornado that caused damage near Rome, followed by rainy precipitation in the South and on the islands, in Sardinia water rationing despite the rain and concern for the summer season as it will be difficult to refill the reserve water basins. To report turning the attention to Greece violent gusts of wind are expected with heavy rainfall in the northern Ionian and Epirus, then in areas west of central Greece and the possibility of African dust being carried by the wind.

Earthquake in Mexico and bad weather in the U.S.
There are reportedly two victims of the 6.5-magnitude earthquake that shook southeastern and central areas of Mexico with its epicenter near Acapulco, many buildings have reportedly been evacuated and alert messages have been sent by authorities to the areas affected by the earthquake, including the capital Mexico City. As for the United States there are reports of flooding in California which is dealing with heavy rain that has made several roads impassable, then in the northeast very cold temperatures are causing problems for the population; moreover, extreme weather events such as snow and lightning have occurred along the coasts. To report shifting the attention to British Columbia in Canada, weather forecasts warn of potential coastal flooding due to a combination of factors such as high waves, a low-pressure system and perihelion, when the Earth is closest to the Sun.

Using water to put out the fire instead of filming
Following the news of the massacre of at least forty young people, one hundred ten injured and some missing during a party at a Swiss resort in Crans-Montana to celebrate the New Year due to a fire, probably caused by sparklers candles, it is questioned how the youths didn’t start putting out the fire with buckets of water in the early stages instead of wasting time filming the scene with their smartphones to post on social media. Perhaps they could have prevented the fire from spreading quickly through the wooden ceiling with a phenomenon that experts say can even cause explosions due to the intense heat released, in the absence of security systems. To report on a different note but still on technological topics that France is proposing a ban on social media use for children under fifteen years old following the Australian regulatory model.

Abnormal temperatures in Greece with significant fluctuations
According to the weather forecasts a sudden temperature swing is expected in Greece with a notable drop due to an Arctic cold front with icy winds and temperatures could reach minus fifteen degrees Celsius in the north, it seems they will then return to average levels, while in the south temperatures could reach up to twenty degrees. These temperature swings will probably be unwelcome for plants in a country already facing the die-off of fir forests especially in the Peloponnese weakened by climate change and attacked by insects and parasites. Changing the subject completely it is worth noting the poor tradition of celebrating the New Year (some claim that Julius Caesar chose this date because it was when preparations for new military campaigns began) with fireworks that are polluting, smelly and noisy, a true terror for animals.

Floods in southern Spain
Torrential rainfall has affected areas in the south and southeast of Spain, with reports of one victim and two missing; the famous tourist area of the Costa del Sol was particularly hit by flooding, in Malaga some streets turned into streams carrying debris swept along by the force of the water, disruptions for the population in Andalusia due to the heavy rain. Authorities had issued a rare red weather alert for a "torrential storm" and rescue operations are ongoing for people affected by the severe weather. To report shifting attention to Italy forecasts predict a sharp drop in temperatures with frost expected due to a cold air front of Arctic origin, although temperatures generally will remain around the seasonal average.

Storms in Scandinavia, northeastern U.S. and the Gaza Strip
There are reportedly three victims due to a storm characterized by strong gusts of wind that affected Finland, Sweden, and Norway, with Sweden being particularly hit where it is reported that forty thousand households were left without electricity and many trees fell causing disruptions for the population in almost half of the country. As for the northeastern United States there were heavy snowfalls causing difficulties for over forty million people, thousands of flights were canceled and authorities declared a state of emergency in New York and the affected areas. Shifting attention to the Gaza Strip strong winds struck the fragile tents of the displaced already impacted by waves of bad weather with floods that had further weakened the worn materials with which they are built, and there were several cases of hypothermia among children.

Developing artificial intelligence will be too expensive
The global race for the development of generative AI could require over the next five to ten years an enormous sum, at least according to industry experts who cite as examples the expansion of infrastructure, the need to have increasingly advanced hardware, highly specialized personnel to best support this technology and then to ensure that those with significant financial resources have a structural advantage and are always at the forefront of industry innovation. Others talk about a speculative bubble in generative artificial intelligence that could suddenly decrease the value of invested resources. To report on a different note but still on technological topics it is worth mentioning that the presence of lithium batteries in many devices is becoming risky in terms of disposal; in fact, they can cause fires in landfills.

Floods in several counties in California
There are reportedly at least two victims of the floods in California and authorities have declared a state of emergency in six counties, then the weather forecasts are unfavorable and predict more heavy rainfall especially in the south with a risk of landslides in areas affected by fires in January since without vegetation to absorb the water the hydrogeological risk increases. About five thousand households are without electricity supply and evacuation orders have been issued, for example in Los Angeles County where door-to-door assistance has been provided especially to vulnerable people, then road conditions are difficult with roads closed or impassable. To report shifting focus to Italy evacuations have been reported in Emilia Romagna region due to flood risks although the situation has slightly improved recently.

High climate cost of online shopping
It seems simple and easy to just click on a video or the requested product to have it conveniently delivered to your home in a day or two, but this comes with a high climate cost, and researchers point out that emissions for the same goods increase by ten to twelve percent. For example, ships, trucks, and vans may travel not fully loaded but only with the goods booked for delivery, then one must consider the starting point of the distribution center which often does not take distance into account but rather service competition criteria and to meet delivery times they may avoid using trains which have lower emissions. Others have previously pointed out that simply searching for a product online activates a large number of data centers which have high energy costs and a multitude of automatically connected promotional mechanisms.
