What was that horrible alarm that came through my phone and tablet? It hurt my ears, a sharp pain, and frightened me. I immediately turned them off before realising there was text. Should I have read it?

Ten days of water. That is what is left in northern Italy. Salt from the Adriatic pushing upstream into soil that fed generations. Emergency meetings next week. Crops already turning. We bear witness to a land dying on a timeline measured in days, not decades. phys.org/news/2026-07...
