World news diary, July August 2023.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 

Fires and extreme weather events could be the future problems of the world.


They say that this year, it has been 6 degrees hotter than average, in the Northen Hemisfire, and there have been fires burning for a long time everywhere in the world. This fire above is a fire in Canada, and in Europe is just the same, the weather has become extreme and changes suddenly, while I am writing this blog, I have learned that in Greece after the fires now it has rained a lot and they have floods. 


Welcome to our blog, World News Diary, July August 2023. 

Fires and the global warming problem.

I believe that if there is anything to report, that should interest the entire world must be the heatwave in the Northen Hemisphere that is causing fires, and some people have perished. We believe that the heatwave has been caused from global warming. So, we humans must try harder to do something about it, because if we continue the way it is today, we might be placing ourselves at rick, since it will be harder to live a normal life. But let us see how they have reported those fires. (And I quote)   

Firefighters in Greece tackle more than 200 wildfires in 48 hours

Temperature records broken in France and red alerts issued in Italy as late summer heatwave continues in southern Europe.

Firefighters in Greece have battled more than 200 blazes in the past 48 hours, officials say, as swaths of southern Europe bake in a late summer heatwave that has broken a number of all-time records and triggered red alerts across France and Italy.

Wildfires in Greece, which have killed 20 people in the past three days, have been raging out of control just north-west of Athens and in the far north-east. Authorities have warned that the heat and gale-force winds risk fuelling more and have urged extreme vigilance.

Firefighters had been called out to tackle 355 fires over the past five days, Greece’s climate crisis and civil protection minister, Vassilis Kikilias, said on Wednesday, including 209 that had started in the previous 48 hours.

------------ Now let us look at Canada

Extreme fire weather conditions fueled by climate change contributed to the increased severity of eastern Canada's wildfire season this spring, a new report from the World Weather Attribution revealed.

The World Weather Attribution is an association of global climate scientists who analyze extreme weather events to determine whether or not climate change played a role in them.

The report, published on Tuesday, also determined that the fires, which burned across 13 million hectares of land through May and June, were linked to "very large-scale impacts on air quality."

"The Canadian wildfires have severely impacted air quality locally in Canada, and in the neighboring United States with Air Quality Index values frequently exceeding safe levels in the midwest and northeast USA, and in some cases approaching record levels," the report said. (End of quotes)

-----------------------

I believe that this hotter climate is a very worrying trend, and if we can, we must try to do something about it. So far, they say that if can be done, if we use less coal and petrol, and other fuels. But I wonder, how much less, and if that is going to be enough. I suppose we just must wait and see; it we can stop this global warming.

-------------------------

Other news may interest the world.

There are a few wars going on, but the war in Ukraine is the one that affects most of Europe and the entire world, it has lasted more than 18 months, and it is still going on, with no end in sight. Hereunder is an internet report of what is going on lately. (And I copy and quote)

 What we covered here

  • Russia saw the largest drone assault on its territory Wednesday since it launched its war on Ukraine. Multiple regions inside Russia were targeted by drones, and the assault caused airport closures and flight delays across the country. Russian authorities have not reported any casualties and said most attacks were thwarted.
  • Ukrainian officials meanwhile said Russia hit the capital of Kyiv with a “massive” bombardment overnight, killing at least two people. Russian rocket attacks were also reported in the southern city of Odesa.
  • Moscow on Wednesday claimed it destroyed four Ukrainian military boats with special forces on board in the Black Sea. Kyiv has not commented on the claim.
  • Russia is considering the possibility of “deliberate” action in its investigation of the plane crash that killed Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin — but Moscow won't allow international authorities to intervene, the Kremlin said. (End of quote)

 

We still believe that this is a useless war, and the only thing it can achieve is destruction and poverty, mainly for Ukraine and Russia, but it also affects Europe and the entire world, so, we hope it ends soon.

Now let us look at the world of politics.

As usual in USA Donald Trump pops up regularly, and this time we can say that it is even funny, they show Trump in a mug shot photo that is ridiculous, since he has been arrested many times for the strange political things he does. Anyhow, they say that he even is making money from his mug shot photo. Anyhow, he keeps trying to be re-elected next year, and nothing is going to stop him, unless he ends up in prison.

I find Donald Trump a colourful person. And he wants to win his own ways, but what he wants to do sounds okay to me, but not all political leaders are the same.

-------------------------

Now let us look at the Australian politics.

For several months in Australia, they are talking about a referendum, that will give the aboriginals the right to have a voice in parliament, as if they don’t have a voice already. When I am pretty sure that there are Aboriginals in parliament already. Anyhow, most of us don’t know what we are going to vote for, the fourteenth of October. So, I wonder who is going to win the yes or the no voters. Now let us look at something else.       

------------------------------

This must be a scam, or a crazy idea.

What I am going to say next, may even sound crazy, because I think that it is a crazy idea to talk about it. Look at what I found on the internet. (And I quote)

 (CNN) - Anthony Albanese, The Prime Minister of Australia, And Hugh Jackman The Golfer And Entrepreneur have Signed New agreement For Australian Residents. Taking a big step towards technology, the Australian government approved this agreement and it was something that has been working to change the Australia’s technology, currency and monetary system.

The new Albanese agreement creates a cryptocurrency auto-trading program called Immediate Edge for the citizens of Australia to start generating income with cryptocurrency. This new platform is called Immediate Edge. He is urging all citizens of Australia to learn about Immediate Edge and quickly to get involved.

(End of quote)

---------------------

I must say that this idea of making money out of nothing is completely crazy, and even if it is possible to make money it must be banned, because the people that make money this way, are virtually robbing the people that work, therefore, it should not be used.

I hope I have explained my point of view.

Sport and something to be proud of.

The Matildas made Australia proud with their efforts at Wednesday's FIFA Women's World Cup semi-final match against England's Lionesses – and though they may have lost, they will not be doing so entirely.

According to Optus Sport, the Matildas stand to win anywhere between US$2,455,000 (approx. $3,828,400.65) to US $2,610,000 (approx. $4,070,112.30), depending on the outcome of their match with Sweden to determine the third place winner of the tournament, which will be taking place in Brisbane on Saturday night.

This means that each player on the Australian team may be earning anywhere between US$165,000 (approx. $257305.95) to US$180,000 (approx. $280697.40), depending on whether they get third or fourth place. Meanwhile, the Socceroos were reportedly paid $226,000 each during last year's FIFA World Cup.
