The forests of Russia, Mongolia, Canada, Scandinavia and the US will experience unprecedented destructive heat by 2029 with staggering consequences for life on Earth.
Feedback loops created by permafrost melt & wildfire destruction represent just a few of the terrifying effects of climate change on boreal forest ecosystems, which are particularly at risk to rising temperatures. â ïžđ„

Massive wildfires are already here.
More forest fires are burning in the Arctic in recent years than any time in the last 10,000 years.
đșthese massive arctic fires are showing worrying signs of becoming a vicious cycle
Wildfire-related carbon releases from permafrost regions will quadruple within decades.
Arctic wildfires, impacted by global warming, are in turn contributing to more climate breakdown.
đșAn increase in boreal & tundra fires in the future will enhance permafrost thawing.

A New Way to Publish Your Blog Posts Simultaneously as Twitter Threads
A thread (that came from a blog post!) âŹïž
Publishing WordPress content on Twitter just got a whole lot easier. You can already bring single Tweets or threads, also known as Tweetstorms, over from Twitter to WordPress (https://t.co/z7r1opqORx), and now weâre bringing the process full circle.
With just two extra clicks, you can transform your entire blog post into a Twitter thread. By publishing your quality content on Twitter, you can open new lines of engagement and conversation.
When you share a WordPress post as a Twitter thread, nothing is left behind: Text, images, video, and embeds will be inserted into the thread right where theyâre supposed to be.
We know that Twitter threads work best without breaks and other quirks. Thatâs why, in building this feature, we paid special attention to formatting. If a paragraph is too long for a single Tweet, for instance, it will automatically be split into multiple Tweets.

As a mechanical engineer who is also a writer, this sort of thing makes no sense to me. Life isnât an either or, and it hasnât been like that for a while. Rather than putting science against the arts, perhaps thinking about creating an economy that works for us all? would be nice
Plus letâs be honest here. Im a technical person and have flirted w getting into cyber for ages, but the things I love about mech engineer are not actually in cyber. I donât want to do PEN tests for banks all my Life. Its not quite being in a workshop, or living on a rig -
Thereâs a bigger question here about what the point of all this is. Encouraging people to explore different jobs is great. But are we talking about quality of work / Life? Have we thought about whether these environments are welcoming or hostile? What energy are we putting into
Changing the structures of these industries? Do you know depressing it is going into work with people who think who you are isnât of value? No amount of money is worth it for everyone
Iâve gone off on a tangent. But itâs taken me a long time (and Iâm still working on it) to unlearn the âundervaluingâ of the arts that I grew up with, and stuff like this doesnât help, and makes me sad. Because we should be better.
