Radical warming in Siberia threatens destruction
The Arctic is feverish and on fire, or at least parts of it are, and that's got scientists worried about what it means for the rest of the world.

The World Meteorological Organization said that it's looking to verify the temperature reading, which would be unprecedented for the region north of the Arctic Circle

Hodgepodge of rules stymie those seeking coronavirus tests to meet vacation requirements
New Maine guidelines mandate that out-of-state visitors (except those from New Hampshire and Vermont, and now New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) quarantine for 14 days upon arrival or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test conducted no longer than 72 hours before arrival. That requirement has stymied many Massachusetts residents, who say they’ve encountered a baffling array of rules among different testing sites, making it challenging to get timely results.
