1/2 Hello World!

It's Finland calling!

Here, up in the North, you know, #Lapland, #ArcticCircle, reindeers, Santa Claus etc.

For the 3rd week, this is how the #weather is like in here. The #heat limit here is 25 °C.

Today yet another record was broken - it has been 19 days that the #temperature has been above 30 °C somewhere in #Finland. And tomorrow it'll be 20 since this map is for tomorrow afternoon.

Think #ClimateChange isn't real?

Well, think again.

No #coolcations in Finland atm. Because of the climate change and the heat.

So, the world is heating up like a balloon, and the axis of control freaks are calling dibs on the last deposits of fossil while zipping through a new shipping lane opened thanks to global warming. A race to suck every last drip from the Earth's top hat to feed AI smart cities. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Mining Ukraine minerals, how are they being exported? Working that out with Russia I suppose. Canada, Greenland, it all makes sense now. New trade routes and attack vectors. The world is going full tilt. I feel like a frog in a kettle.

#Siberia: Residents stunned after strange new formations appear across remote landscape: 'The landscape has become pockmarked'

"Thawing ground in Siberia's remote #YamalPeninsula is warping the landscape — and residents say the changes are becoming impossible to ignore. Strange mounds, sudden sinkholes, and even explosive craters are reshaping the #tundra, alarming locals and researchers alike, per the Malay Mail.

"These changes are tied to a disturbing trend beneath the surface: the rapid thaw of once-frozen ground, known as #permafrost.

What's happening?

"As Siberia warms at nearly four times the global average, vast stretches of permafrost are thawing. When this frozen ground melts, it releases methane gas from ancient organic material once safely locked beneath the surface.

"In the Yamal region, that gas is pushing the earth upward into large mounds that sometimes explode, tearing open the landscape and leaving behind deep craters.

"Innokenty Poselsky, who bought land in Churapcha, noted that he had about 20 mounds pop up but that it wasn't always like that. 'About 40 years ago, there was an airstrip here and the land used to be quite flat. Over the last four decades, the landscape has become pockmarked. It's like that everywhere here,' he told the Malay Mail.

"Local villagers, many of whom rely on the tundra for #reindeer herding, say their homeland has become nearly unrecognizable. One herder told researchers that familiar flatlands have been replaced by unpredictable swells and holes.

Why is the thawing of Siberia's permafrost important?

"Beyond changing the physical landscape, permafrost melt poses major threats to communities and the planet. Thawing ground can damage roads, #pipelines, and homes. #Methane, the gas being released, is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term. That means this process isn't just a local hazard — it's a global #climate risk.

"Thawing permafrost can also accelerate other problems. Warmer, wetter conditions can spread disease, disrupt food systems, and increase the severity of #ExtremeWeather events by adding more heat-trapping polluting gases to the atmosphere.

"While extreme events such as #wildfires and #floods aren't new, scientists agree that a hotter planet — caused by human activity, mainly the burning of #FossilFuels — makes them both more destructive and more frequent."

Saw the first series of Arctic Circle (from Walter Presents on Ch4) not long after it came out and really enjoyed it.

Just finished the second series last night and it was just as good!

Can't wait to start the third series

Great series and excellent characters.

Deep snow, thick ice and zero delays: Inside the Arctic Circle airports that never cancel a flight.

Where most airports would close for a few centimetres of snow, some battle-hardened Arctic Circle airports refuse to close for anything.
