The growing global demand for energy raises questions regarding the management and exploitation of energy sources also considering the recent increase in fossil fuel prices due to a conflict, some return to talking about nuclear energy but just a few days away from the fifteenth anniversary of the serious disaster at Fukushima Daiichi in Japan with the meltdown of three reactor cores putting the entire world at risk and still requiring significant interventions for final safety measures. It does not seem very appropriate to give the example of using energy plasma as happens in the Sun for technologies not yet adequately tested and which will probably require decades to be perfected; indeed for example the compression conditions for fusion in the Sun are much lower compared to those on Earth.

With a potential crisis in the transport of fossil fuels due to conflicts some argue that there is a risk of using more polluting fuels to cope with shortages or because prices are rising and it seems that there are already countries where this environmentally unfriendly situation is occurring. moreover it should be considered that it can also have repercussions in the agricultural production sector and on food security; for example cooking with fuels not suitable for the purpose releases toxic chemical components besides polluting the environment. To report changing topic but remaining on nature-related issues that in Queensland in Australia there are complaints from residents who cannot return to their homes in areas recently evacuated due to floods caused by heavy rainfall, during a period that has been very rainy with damage and inconvenience.

Areas to the east of Ontario and southwest Quebec have been affected by icy bad weather with freezing rain that has left a very slippery layer on the roads, with reports of disruptions and the closure of many schools; authorities have advised against traveling for example for the residents of Montreal, and in this city about one hundred thousand households have been left without electricity, while forecasts warn of potentially difficult weather conditions for the northern regions. To report on a different topic but still related to natural issues that some researchers warn that in Tehran the consequences of the recent acid rain with oil droplets falling on the metropolis due to a conflict could be serious with long-term impacts on food and water sources; indeed, they are very toxic pollutants also for vegetation and animals.

Due to torrential rainfall that recently affected large areas in the south of the country there are reports of difficulties for the population dealing with repeated floods and landslides, for example the Arequipa region was particularly affected with thousands of houses swept away by rivers of mud and debris due to an extreme phenomenon called "Coastal El Nino" which also causes sea level rise along the coasts. To report moving the attention to other scenarios yet another eruption of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii with volcanic material projected over long distances onto some inhabited areas forcing the partial closure of a section of highway; then in Italy a magnitude 5.9 tremor with an epicenter at great depth near Anacapri in the Gulf of Naples did not cause damage, but the earthquake did not go unnoticed due to the peculiarity of this rare phenomenon.

Due to intense rainfall a large heap of waste collapsed at Bantar Gebang near Jakarta caused by the long-standing problem of managing the largest site that collects the metropolis' waste, is talk of at least five victims buried in the collapse and four missing; moreover, one victim died due to a falling tree in the city because of strong wind gusts, along with heavy rains causing floods and impassable roads. To report shifting the focus to Italy the danger that the landslide movement in Niscemi in Sicily may continue, at least according to some data monitored through instrumental analysis of the area; the solution seems to be to prevent water infiltration by adopting measures that had already been identified in the past, but apparently nothing concrete has been done, raising questions about the allocated funds.

There are reportedly at least three hundred victims due to heavy rainfall in the Democratic Republic of Congo resulting in a landslide that affected the Rubaya area where there are mines extracting for example coltan used in the manufacture of smartphones, tablets, and computers. This is the third time in less than two months that a landslide has occurred with a total toll of about seven hundred victims, then there is also talk of the danger of further landslides because the ground is still unstable in an area where other serious incidents of this kind have occurred, with precarious working conditions and in theory with artisanal extraction. To report on a different topic but still related to natural events eight victims were reported in southern Michigan in USA due to a tornado that recently affected Branch county near the Union city.

Climate change fuels linked extreme events such as heatwaves that lead to subsequent sudden droughts which are very harmful to vegetation in all countries of the world, at least according to researchers who highlight that the frequency of these extreme events has risen from about two and a half percent globally per year around 1980 to over sixteen percent in 2023 the last year monitored for the study considering that 2024 and 2025 have been on average very hot years. Sometimes the drought event precedes the heatwave, but apparently the damage is greater if the heatwave occurs first and then the drought; further, there is talk of sudden droughts that do not leave farmers time to prepare properly causing significant damage compared to normal drought events. The maximum impact occurs with heatwaves, droughts and fires together.

A detailed analysis of videos appearing online on a social media platform showing humanoid warrior robots like those in science fiction films, revealed that these are videos created with generative artificial intelligence, essentially these are computerized video productions (with sequences of images reworked and assembled) showing Asian dancing robots performing specific dance routines already generally known to the public; however even if these videos are fake, there remains the unease that these warrior robots could soon become a reality. A super-athlete robot endowed with super-intelligence far superior to human intelligence is in theory already just around the corner in a figurative sense as far as technology and it goes without saying that prohibitions should be put in place to prevent this aberrant scenario from becoming reality.

Many studies (apparently about ninety percent) regarding sea level rise are based on static models without taking into account waves, currents, wind, tides, temperature changes, so according to researchers the actual level of rise is probably underestimated. We are talking about tens of millions more people who could be threatened by sea level rise, moreover in many cases it does not concern a hypothetical future but the current reality and it does not only change the retreating coastline but also the real lives of people forced to abandon their homes. The authorities planning actions to counteract damages related to sea level rise might have an incomplete picture of the situation; in fact, the flooded areas will be much wider than previously thought and the real impact on the population should already be considered.

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.
