New chips that support artificial intelligence The sales limits imposed by the United States on some microprocessors that support artificial intelligence highlight how computer architecture is now also changing; in fact, if once the CPU was the microprocessor that made the difference on computing capabilities, now it seems that the graphics processing unit (GPU) has become one of the key chips in Data Centers. The difference would seem to derive from the fact that in order to process questionable images with artificial intelligence it is necessary for the computer to have very considerable graphics capabilities and therefore the computing capacity of these types of chips, which also consume considerable amounts of energy, has grown dramatically in recent years; therefore, if more stringent regulations are called for at the international level to regulate artificial intelligence the development of GPU chips should be regulated. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 14, 2025

 Preventing fires to limit damage The fires that are devastating the hills of Los Angeles with a provisional toll of twenty-four victims, several serious injuries and calculations of the extensive damage raise questions about what interventions to take to limit the damage in case a similar situation could theoretically also occur in other areas of the world affected by climate change; in fact, adequate prevention could avoid significant disasters. Some say that for example sufficient water reserves must be available to feed the hydrants (it seems that in the Palisade area there was no pressure when the firefighters arrived), then pay attention to possible triggers of fires such as fireworks that remain on the ground as well as dry brushwood and dried plants, make sure that fires cannot spread quickly by tracing firebreak avenues. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 13, 2025

Devastation caused by the Los Angeles fire While the provisional death toll from the devastating fire that affected the hills of Los Angeles has risen to eleven, there is also misinformation about for example the palm trees that inexplicably would not have been burned, but some say that in some cases they are well-kept plants and therefore less attackable by fire because they are very humid and the partially dry ones are burned almost like dry straw. Should plant species of palm trees that do not become hotbeds that trigger real fire fronts, then adapt the water system to the needs of the firefighters; in fact, it seems that the great demand for water has quickly exhausted the reserves making unusable the hydrants, more than twelve thousand buildings burned and entire communities practically razed to the ground, seriously damaged the structures of the well-known Californian media in the city. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 11, 2025

Monitored the overheating trajectory Every month in 2024 has been the heat or the second highest since global temperatures began to be monitored, some speak of an incredible trajectory (if for example we look at the trend since 1940), while others argue that it is necessary to verify the anomaly in decades to confirm it; but by now it would seem clear that with a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of 422 parts per million, it is illusory to think that in a few decades the situation regarding global warming will improve. The planet is steadily well above one and a half degrees Celsius of average temperature, a value that had already been indicated as a limit not to be exceeded in order not to have to suffer the disastrous effects of extreme weather phenomena; however there is talk of possible potential to change this trajectory by exiting the era of fossil fuels. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 10, 2025

New fire front in Los Angeles A new impressive fire front is affecting the hills of Los Angeles in California in addition to the other uncontrollable ones that had already burned many homes, there are five victims and one hundred thousand evacuation orders as well as wounded even in serious condition; then some speak of a kind of hurricane of fire that passes from one house to another, fifteen hundred structures damaged or destroyed, many cars burned, entire forests practically gone up in smoke. Authorities announce a state of disaster for what is the second largest city in the United States. As usual there are complaints of extreme conditions caused by climate change, with six months of no rainfall that has dried out a lot of vegetation that had grown rapidly for previous periods interspersed with frequent intense rains and then the fire fuelled recent gusts of wind. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 09, 2025

A fire devours the hills of Los Angeles Strong gusts of wind make it difficult and almost impossible for firefighters to take action as they try to deal with a practically uncontrollable fire that has advanced rapidly in the hills of Los Angeles forcing tens of thousands of people to leave their homes, there is talk of many houses destroyed (..two victims and several wounded) and about thirteen thousand structures threatened by fires. It is expected that the wind may intensify at night and continue for days, forming vortices with gusts that can reach one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour. Half a million users are at risk of being left without electricity supply with over twenty-eight thousand already in the dark. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report the difficult situation of the localities affected by the earthquake in the Everest area due to the cold, then there is talk of almost two hundred injured. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 08, 2025

Earthquake in remote area of Tibet There would be over one hundred and twenty victims of an earthquake quantifiable of magnitude between 6.8 and 7.1 that shook a remote area of Tibet in Chinese territory at over four thousand meters above sea level in the Everest area on the border with Nepal followed by a strong replication and seismic swarm, there is talk of collapsed houses and damage from an earthquake that seems to have been clearly felt in the capital of Nepal Kathmandu and as far as India. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues four victims in the mid-west of the United States due to a blizzard, declared a state of emergency in seven states, three hundred thousand people without electricity supply, impassable roads and canceled flights; then inconveniences and cars trapped between ice and snow due to the great Arctic cold that partly affected the east coast and in particular Washington. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 07, 2025

Alcoholic drinks in America labeled as carcinogenic The majority of Americans are not aware of the risk of carcinogenicity of alcoholic drinks, so according to the health authorities of the United States they should be labeled as carcinogenic a bit like cigarettes; in fact, there would be four mechanisms that can promote the formation of tumors: alcohol metabolizes into acetaldehyde which damages DNA, increases oxidative stress with consequences for proteins and cells, modifies hormone levels including estrogen (responsible for breast cancer risks), increases the absorption of carcinogens including those linked to tobacco. The quantities of two glasses of alcohol for men a day and one for women should perhaps be reviewed, however generally low doses of wine especially red and dark, therefore rich in antioxidants, is considered healthy if of quality (pressing the grapes with the traditional method). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 04, 2025

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 03, 2025

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 02, 2025
