Transition to renewables increasingly necessary The recent fluctuations in the fossil fuel market due to conflicts in important areas for the supply of oil and gas, with sharply rising prices and rather worrying forecasts for the energy markets make a transition to renewable energy increasingly necessary, but it must be truly renewable with a controlled supply chain, low emissions in production, environmentally sustainable raw materials and respect for labor conditions in extraction from the ground. For example it seems that in Africa last year there was a record fifty-four percent increase in solar capacity, more than half with solar farms connected to the electricity grid and installed under the initiative of authorities, and many countries around the world have made progress in this regard; then more investment would be needed in geothermal energy and in energy obtained from tides. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 04, 2026

 Red meat and tobacco among the causes of breast cancer It is estimated that breast cancer cases diagnosed worldwide will reach three and a half million by 2050, these are data that make us reflect on how necessary it is to focus on prevention for example by limiting the consumption of red meat, eliminating tobacco smoking, controlling blood sugar levels, paying attention to alcohol, maintaining a proper weight and engaging in regular physical activity, even if the majority of breast cancer cases apparently are not attributable to lifestyle and women should be attentive to changes in their bodies. While mortality in developed countries has decreased by thirty percent from 1990 to 2023 thanks to decades of investment in identifying suspicious cases with mammography and intervening early, in developing countries the trend is the opposite with mortality nearly doubling in the same period. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 03, 2026

Coastal erosion threatens valuable natural architectures After the collapse of a well-known "postcard tourist" arch on a sea stack on the coast of Salento in Puglia in Italy two weeks ago, the danger of collapses from storm surges now concerns the cliffs along the coast of Ostuni in the Brindisi province, it is a coastline rich in valuable natural architectures considered at geomorphological risk and it is proposed to place breakwaters on the seabed to cushion the impact of the waves on the coast. Coastal erosion is a global problem and for example in Indonesia on the island of Rangsang in the Meranti Islands Regency it had recently been noted that the damage caused to the coast tended to increase due to the north wind when it affected the waves towards the end of last year, with threats to agriculture and severe coastal erosion being reported. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 02, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 28, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 27, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 26, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 25, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 24, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 23, 2026

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. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 21, 2026
