A growing number of crises are threatening the future of young people, from those related to the demographic increase on the planet to climate and technological crises, to conflicts; then international organizations warn that these unhealthy issues for healthy youth development in the coming years will only become increasingly stressful, intrusive and pressing, such as extreme weather phenomena and dangers from surfing the Internet. Decades of progress would be threatened for girls in particular and in general young people will be a minority in an aging world population even if the ratio will remain similar (two billion three hundred million young people) due to the high birth rate in the sub-Saharan countries of Africa. It is also expected that artificial intelligence will increase inequalities between rich and poor countries.

A cyclone compared to a hurricane is lashing the coasts of British Columbia and Vancouver Island with strong gusts of wind at over one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, there is talk of some schools and highways closed, many ferries connections canceled or suspended, interruptions in the supply of electricity in the areas affected by the cyclone; then the authorities warn the population to take the necessary measures to deal with the situation since the strong vortex is heading towards the interior of the country, This is the second extreme phenomenon of this type on the southern coasts of British Columbia in a week. It should be noted, changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues, that some denounce the lack of conversations about the transition to renewable energy at COP29 at a considered relevant moment in the discussions.

At a G20 conference held in Rio de Janeiro, divergences seem to have emerged on how to deal with global climate change, while some implore the countries that are home to the richest economies to increase the funds allocated to developing countries affected by the damage and extreme phenomena that are putting a strain on their economies (without most of the time being responsible for it or if they are for a very small if not negligible percentage). To be reported changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues at least eight victims, damage and considerable inconvenience for the population in the Philippines due to the super typhoon called "Man-yi"; then in India in New Delhi there is talk of unbreathable air and hospitalizations on the rise with fine dust pollution sixty times the maximum recommended levels, also canceled many flights.

The Philippine authorities would have evacuated over two hundred and fifty thousand people due to the super typhoon "Man-yi" characterized by wind gusts of over two hundred and thirty kilometers per hour, it is expected that the trajectory of the strong vortex will affect the sparsely populated islands of Catanduanes with very high wind and waves perhaps maintaining the peak intensity reached (progressively strengthening from a tropical storm). It is necessary to prepare in time for evacuations, since there is a risk of exposing not only the lives of the people hit by the typhoon but also those of the rescuers to danger, then it is better not to beat around the bush in the preparations and promptly go to the evacuation centers. The heavy rainfall caused by the typhoon according to volcanologists could cause sediment to collapse from three volcanoes, including the Taal south of Manila.

According to some methane leaks into the atmosphere due to the extraction of fossil fuels are excessive in many of the countries that accepted in 2021 during COP26 the proposal to limit methane emissions by thirty percent by 2030 compared to 2020 levels, apparently this is especially the case in Romania. It must be borne in mind that in part the climate crisis is not only caused by carbon dioxide, but also by methane which would be eighty-four times more powerful in terms of effects on the greenhouse effect (not to mention nitrous oxide, about three hundred times more powerful as a climate-changing gas than CO2). To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the complaints about the work of the authorities of the region of Valencia in Spain affected by floods followed by "blame-shifting" statements regarding the responsibilities.

Bird flu A H5N1 is very contagious for geese but considered not serious, then it infects various species of birds and sometimes even mammals; now a case of contagion in a boy in British Columbia in serious condition has turned the spotlight on the first human H5N1 domestic case in Canada and the tests would have detected the origin of local poultry farms where avian flu has spread (the version is not the same as genomic sequencing carried out farms in the United States). For the moment according to experts the risk that avian influenza can spread to humans remains low, but it is high in those who expose themselves without protection to infected animals; then the people who had had contact with the boy were tested negative. Milk and its pasteurized products are safe even if generally it is necessary to maintain high surveillance.

The levels of heavy metals detected in the air of New Delhi would be alarming and the capital of India also finds itself covered by a pall of unbreathable smog fifty times the maximum level recommended by international health organizations, then colder temperatures and little wind tend to stagnate pollutants in the air, worsening the situation. It is estimated that for thirty million people, the levels of pollutants exceeded eight hundred micrograms per cubic meter of air, including PM2.5 microparticles considered carcinogenic and which can easily enter the bloodstream simply by breathing through the lungs. Recently even in the Punjab region of Pakistan there was talk of unbreathable air with the authorities forced to close some schools, activities and outdoor shops; with concerns for children exposed to pollution.

After the disastrous flood in the region of Valencia due to storm "Dana" (due to the so-called cold drop phenomenon) which caused over two hundred and twenty-four victims and twenty-eight missing two weeks ago, there is talk of a new weather alert and in particular Andalusia and the Balearic Islands could be affected; then some Spanish authorities declared during the COP29 conference that is being held in Baku in Azerbaijan what the impact of climate change on the country is. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues the recent earthquake of magnitude 6.8 that shook Santiago de Cuba, the second largest city in Cuba, causing damage to fragile and old houses and infrastructures that would require maintenance, as well as landslides and inconveniences in the affected areas often already in difficulty because they were previously affected by hurricanes.

About two hundred and twenty kilometers from the capital Manila in the areas affected by the strong typhoon "Toraji", the fourth in less than a month (one hundred and fifty-nine victims from previous cyclones), the authorities have evacuated thousands of villages and ordered the closure of ports in the north-east of the country near Dilasag. There are no victims even if we are talking about uprooted trees and fallen power lines as well as inconvenience for the population due to intense rainfall and gusts of wind. Weather forecasts warn that a tropical storm could affect the Philippines next week. Changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues to report the disastrous situation in Malawi has long been affected by a combination of extreme effects such as cyclones and droughts that have damaged crops with consequent food insecurity.

The use of plastic film strips on the ground on a large scale for the cultivation of wheat is having a significant impact on agriculture in the areas of Quebec in Canada so much so that some are asking for studies to be done on this product which should be biodegradable, but doubts remain whether it cannot release plastic microparticles into the environment. In particular it is estimated that the use of this plastic mulch for example in one region (Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean), has increased by more than ninety percent in the last seven years, so it is a rampant practice that is also disfiguring the landscape. Since plastic remains in the environment for years, it risks polluting waterways and then groundwater and not knowing the real ecological impact, it is a problem considered critical by the locals.
