In Saudi Arabia first snow ever seen in the desert
Seeing snow in the Al-Nafud desert near Al-Jaws in Saudi Arabia could be evocative but also disturbing for this extreme phenomenon seen recently, apparently for the first time preceded by intense rains and hailstorms; there is also talk of reduced visibility and difficult roads in the desert. The temperatures in the desert do not allow rainfall and the climate is well known as arid, so some say with dismay how mother nature is changing her colors. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that the typhoon called "Yinxing" affected the coasts in areas north of the Philippines (then heading towards Vietnam) damaging the roofs of houses, causing power lines to fall and uprooting trees, two weeks after a strong vortex that caused over one hundred and fifty victims.

Deforestation slightly decreased in the Amazon
Monitoring the area views according to Brazilian authorities deforestation in the Amazon has decreased by almost a third since August 2023, the best result in nine years, but this still means that over six thousand two hundred square kilometers of forest have gone up in smoke. The rate of destruction of the vegetation of the Cerrado in central Brazil, the most species-rich savannah in the world, has also decreased. Generally the practice of deforestation is caused by the demand for land for intensive cultivation and breeding, timber exploitation and mining, then urban expansion. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues a fire in California near Los Angeles, with many people forced to leave their homes for example in Camarillo, then in Ventura County a state of emergency was declared in the affected areas.

A hurricane leaves Cuba in the dark again
After affecting Cayman and Jamaica with torrential rainfall and strong gusts of wind that damaged many power lines, the hurricane called "Rafael" downgraded from category three to two lashed Cuba, leaving practically the entire island in the dark again, already recently hit by a hurricane that had caused six victims. In the capital Havana the historic center has been flooded by heavy rains then there is talk of uprooted trees and debris while problems continue with the electricity grid always struggling with lack of maintenance even though available resources are scarce, then climate change has caused a structural energy shortage throughout the island. According to weather forecasts the strong vortex could head losing power towards Florida but still characterized by heavy rain and wind and the south-east of the Gulf of Mexico.

CO2 and other climate-changing gases in spotlight
After carbon dioxide, methane CH4 is also mentioned as one of the worst greenhouse gases, which would have an effect on global warming eighty times compared to CO2 (over a period of twenty years), while that of nitrous oxide N2O is three hundred times. Since in 2023 the concentrations of these three gases in the atmosphere have reached new records, it is expected that in the future temperatures will probably continue to rise at a faster pace than they have been so far and how a solution should be found to this problem that risks not achieving the goal of keeping global temperatures under control. Of note the complaints in Colombia about the scarce resources allocated at COP16 to preserve biodiversity, it seems that many rich countries have poor contributed and the U.S. does not participate.

Heavy rainfall in Barcelona in Spain
After the flood that hit the Valencia region, the tail end of storm "Dana" partly affected Barcelona where three months' rain would have fallen in a few hours, there is talk of the flooded airport, and some rail and road connections interrupted; but overall this time it seems that the inconveniences have been limited and we were prepared to face the emergency unlike what happened near Valencia where the death toll has risen to over two hundred and twenty people, still digging in the mud to look for the missing and sometimes there is still a lack of drinking water, food and electricity. As for the underground car park in the Aldaia shopping centre, for the moment no victims have been found and there are fewer cars than feared, but in general questions remain about the real number of missing.

Volcanic eruption on Flores Island in Indonesia
At least six people would be killed due to several volcanic eruptions of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki on the popular tourist island of Flores in Indonesia in East Nusa Tenggara, there is also talk of evacuations of several villages affected by the arrival of lava, due to the fall of volcanic ash and incandescent rocks from the column that rises above the volcano. There is also talk of damaged and burned houses and a layer of volcanic material near the villages. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes that in Spain in the region of Valencia it is feared that there are over dozens missing, among the places particularly affected by the searches a large underground parking in the shopping center of Aldaia flooded and submerged by water and mud and it is difficult for the person trapped in their cars can be saved.

Complaints and controversy after the storm in Spain
After the passage of the storm called "Dana" which caused over two hundred deaths, dozens of missing, one hundred and twenty thousand displaced (as well as the collapse of damaged bridges, houses, roads and infrastructures) while the strong vortex has not yet exhausted its destructive power and it is feared that it may affect the Balearic Islands, the queue of complaints and controversies does not cease for the considerable delay in warning the population of the danger, the imprudent management of resources in prevention, then many speak of delay in rescue or even total absence. As for the climatic phenomenon of the so-called cold drop that are talking about in this case, it seems that experts argue that it is an event that has already affected the Valencia region in the past, but amplified by climate change; in fact, the Mediterranean is abnormally hot and has accumulated a lot of energy.

Extreme events that exceed human defenses
According to experts even in countries that enjoy relative well-being such as Spain, extreme events caused by climate change exceed human defenses and the measures that are being taken to deal with them, given what happened in the Valencia region with over one hundred and fifty victims and dozens of missing due to floods and landslides; but some complain that excessive overbuilding, poor water maintenance as well as delays in activating warnings and alarms may have played a role in what is considered a real disaster for the country. It also seems that people do not know what to do in case of floods and even if warned they do not know how to get to safety and the rescue mechanism should be strengthened; in fact, it seems that there were people who clung to trees and railings for hours before someone saved them.

A code to counter the artificial intelligence
With increasingly realistic images, videos and texts generated by artificial intelligence, it is necessary according to experts to find a method to identify reality from function, putting a warning that it is non-real material could be a solution; but could also put a code for example on an image to be able to verify on a website if it is reality or fiction. Others argue that the amount of energy absorbed by generative artificial intelligence is simply excessive, what may seem like a simple request to an application perhaps capable of creating texts in a few moments, enriching them with images and videos seems to be enough to keep a light on for tens of minutes so much so that it will be necessary to build modular nuclear power plants to fuel all these enormous energy demands.

Coral triangle threatened by drilling
What is defined as one of the areas with the greatest marine biodiversity in the world and which extends for about ten million square kilometers between Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Philippines, Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands would be threatened by drilling for the exploitation of fossil resources and therefore oil, gas, LNG and other industrial activities. The complaint filed by environmentalists coincides with the COP16 conference on biodiversity being held in Colombia. In addition to three-quarters of the coral species, this naturalistic triangle is home to six of the world's seven marine turtle species, and whales and other marine mammals find nourishment. It talks about the large number of exploitation concessions awarded in the future and how there is an area defined as very sensitive that should be protected in particular.
