Floods in Somalia and bad weather in Italy

There would be at least ten victims in Somalia due to floods following unusually heavy rainfall, with reports of rivers of water in the capital Mogadishu forcing people to move partially submerged and in some neighborhoods the ground floors of houses have been submerged; the death toll could probably rise since authorities have not yet managed to get a clear picture of the situation. As for Italy a wave of bad weather has mainly affected Tuscany and Liguria regions, where there have been cases for example of evacuations, tornadoes, cloudbursts and a lightning strike hit a house burning its roof; in general, temperatures have dropped considerably in the North and snow-covered areas were not lacking in the Alps; then there were various weather alerts in some regions also for possible hailstorms.

Investigations on hantavirus cases on a cruise ship

A cruise ship traveling from Ushuaia in Argentina to Cape Verde triggered health investigations due to three victims of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, with three people sick, one of whom is in critical condition; in fact, there are questions about how the virus could have spread on the ship and in Cape Verde was not given permission to disembark by local authorities due to the potential risk that the virus could infect the local population. Apparently the virus has a rather long incubation period and the passenger initially infected on the ship likely contracted it before boarding. It is also noted that investigations are needed to verify that adequate preventive measures were adopted. This is a virus for which there are no cures or vaccines so early diagnosis and subsequent medical intervention are necessary.

A volcano erupts in the Philippines

Alert in the Philippines for the eruption of Mayon volcano near Albay, a stratovolcano with a characteristic conical shape considered the most active among the twenty-two volcanoes in the country and responsible for about fifty eruptions in four centuries, there is talk of thousands of evacuations in an area south of Manila; then ash and debris reached Bicol, over fifty villages affected by the eruption which caused the formation of a high column of smoke over four thousand meters that darkened the sky. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic topics that in Canada many people are complaining about the increase in allergies (particularly in Vancouver and Victoria due to tree pollen), as usual climate changes with increasing CO2, pollution, and even light pollution lengthen the pollen season and make it more severe.

Mexico City is sinking at high speed

It appears that Mexico City is experiencing ground subsidence visible even from satellites and measurable at about twenty-five centimeters per year; according to researchers, this is one of the highest rates in the world, posing structural problems that are difficult to solve for this metropolis of twenty-two million people and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Using large amounts of water pumped from the underground to meet the needs of Mexico's capital has significantly lowered the water table, resulting in a chronic water crisis that can only worsen; for example damages are noted to the metropolitan cathedral built starting in 1573, to the subway, to the sewers, to the entire system of pipes that provides drinking water and requiring careful monitoring of the situation.

Moringa seeds clean water of microplastics

An extract from moringa seeds, a plant known to be very nutritious and healthy, according to researchers would be excellent for purifying drinking water from microplastics as well as common chemical components, then seems that moringa trees have been known for their water purification properties since the times of the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians and now studies are being conducted to see if this is due to a kind of coagulating effect that allows microplastic particles to stick together and then be filtered. The tiny particles one micrometer in size of microplastic result from the progressive fragmentation of plastic polluting various environments from the oceans to the mountains and can for example cause tissue inflammation; in animals reproductive and hormonal problems have been observed.

High average temperatures in Europe with areas of drought

Last year at least ninety-five percent of European regions reportedly monitored above average temperatures with Great Britain, Norway and Iceland recording their warmest average year according to a climate report that emphasizes how since 1980 Europe would be overheating at twice the global rate making the continent that is warming fastest on the planet. Heat waves are reaching increasingly high temperature peaks in addition to being more frequent, and currently the situation does not seem very favorable in this climatic sense with ever-expanding areas of drought. To report on a different note but still on natural topics floods in southern China, with areas hit by heavy storms and town centers flooded forcing people to move partially submerged in water.

Slowing of the Meridional Atlantic Ocean Current

The slowing of the Meridional Atlantic Ocean Current (AMOC) that has been monitored could be part of a natural variability or represent a long-term decline, at least according to researchers who emphasize that even though climate models are very complex this change with increasingly warmer oceans is quite worrying; in fact, for example temperatures in London and areas of Europe in winter could be much lower even if the summer remains warm. The circulation of this current could stop entirely if we continue to emit large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere causing global temperatures to rise. It is also worth noting shifting attention to other scenarios the unusual proliferation of jellyfish in the sea near Trieste due to anomalously high temperatures in the Mediterranean, and conversely an unusual heavy snowfall in Moscow with falling trees and disruptions for the population.

Tornado in northern Texas and fires in Japan

There are reportedly at least two victims and over twenty families evacuated from their homes in northern Texas due to an EF-2 tornado (with wind gusts exceeding two hundred ten kilometers per hour), particularly affecting the cities of Runaway Bay and Springtown (in this case the tornado was rated as EF-1 in strength); many houses were damaged and debris made the roads difficult to pass, hindering rescue efforts and even medical personnel in some areas, causing power outages, and sometimes significant damage. To report changing the topics but remaining on natural events fires in northeastern Japan fueled by drought which for some time has tended to dry out vegetation affect vast areas with thousands of evacuations.

Estimate of contaminated land after the Chernobyl disaster

Almost fifty thousand square kilometers of land would have been contaminated following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster with three and a half million people affected, at least according to statements from international organizations regarding what is considered the worst atomic disaster in history, while it is noted that forty years have passed since the tragic event which in the first days was also kept hidden. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic topics that a strong tornado left a trail of destruction in its path in the state of Oklahoma in the United States; there is talk of roofs being torn off and damage to the power infrastructure, in addition to at least ten people injured; there were no victims but residents of the affected areas including part of the city of Enid were trapped in their homes which often suffered severe damage.

Precarious health due to seasonal pollen allergies

Although they are not exactly comparable to floods and fires caused by climate change allergies according to researchers affect tens of millions of people with significant health consequences; in fact, the burden on the public health sector tends to grow due to increasingly severe symptoms related to allergies that can even become life-threatening, then generally the state of well-being can deteriorate significantly. High temperatures and higher CO2 concentration as usual caused by climate change from human activities with indiscriminate use of fossil fuels increase pollen production from plants triggering allergic reactions for example in Europe with a season that has lengthened by over two weeks in about thirty years with pollen presence intensity fifteen to twenty percent higher.
