The environment is a very important and topical issue, affecting all living things and the planet. There is a lot of environmental news happening every week, related to climate change, biodiversity, pollution, energy, water, etc. Here I share with you some of the most relevant environmental news this week:

Ideam recommended to be alert for possible flash floods, landslides, floods and thunderstorms.

- Fernández-Pacheco assures that 40% of environmental authorisations will be resolved in five months with the administrative simplification: The Andalusian Minister of Sustainability, Juanma Moreno, affirmed that his department is the one that reduces the most bureaucracy, with 135 modifications, and defended that this is done while maintaining the "strict controls" to preserve the environment. According to the minister, administrative simplification will speed up environmental procedures and promote investment and employment.

Can a planet explode - Copilot's answer

The short answer is that yes, it is possible for a planet to explode, but it depends on the circumstances and the energy source causing the explosion. Some ways a planet could explode are: By the impact of a large asteroid or comet, which could tear off part of the planet's atmosphere and surface, or even fragment it completely if the collision was direct and strong enough. By a gamma-ray burst (GRB), which is the most powerful type of explosion known in the universe. These explosions emit as much energy as the sun does over its entire lifetime in a few seconds or minutes. If one of the jets of radiation from a GRB were to be aimed at a planet, it would burn the planet and could cause it to explode. By an internal exothermic process, such as a nuclear fission or fusion reaction, releasing a large amount of energy into the planet's core or mantle. This could cause a rupture of the crust and a violent release of pressure and matter. However, these possibilities are very unlikely ...
