  1. Reminder 2018 A red “blood rain” in Siberia’s Norilsk likely wasn’t an omen: officials say wind blew iron-oxide (rust) residue from an industrial site into rainwater, staining cars and puddles. Red rain can occur when dust storms mix with iron-rich particles. 🌧️🟥 #News #Siberia #Weather #Science livescience.com/62999-siberian

  6. "The Situation Is Critical": Altai Faces The Risk Of A Shutdown In Agriculture And Public Utilities

    " A Russian region has run out of fuel.

    In Russia’s Altai Krai, Siberia’s largest producer of agricultural products, an “extremely tense” situation has arisen in the agriculture and housing and utilities sectors due to a fuel shortage. This concerns the Burlin District, which borders Kazakhstan; its authorities have asked the regional government to declare a state of emergency due to the shortage. "

    Russia Deploys Emergency Crews to Siberia as Krasnoyarsk Wildfires Nearly Quadruple in Size (in June, 17)

    "The number of active fires is currently hovering around 90, with nearly all of them burning in remote, rugged terrain accessible only by air.

    Authorities have blamed the rapid spread on high temperatures and severe Siberian silkmoth infestations, which have killed off vast swaths of trees and left behind large amounts of highly flammable deadwood."

  14. You Did What?!

    The Hole We Can’t Fix

    By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
    Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — June 24 , 2026

    What Is Happening

    In northeastern Siberia, a massive permafrost collapse known as the Batagaika crater continues to expand as warming temperatures thaw previously frozen ground. The formation, sometimes referred to as a “mega-slump,” is the largest of its kind currently observed.

    The process is driven by thermokarst activity: once ice-rich permafrost begins to thaw, the ground loses structural integrity, collapses, and exposes deeper layers to further warming. This creates a feedback loop in which collapse accelerates additional thaw.

    Why It Matters

    The crater is not simply a geological curiosity. Permafrost contains large amounts of ancient organic material. As it thaws, that material decomposes and releases carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere.

    This contributes to a broader climate feedback cycle:

    • Thawing permafrost releases greenhouse gases
    • Greenhouse gases increase global temperatures
    • Higher temperatures accelerate further thaw

    The visible collapse in Siberia is therefore part of a larger system that extends beyond the region itself.

    What It Reveals

    At the same time, the collapse is exposing layers of soil, plant material, and animal remains that have been preserved for tens of thousands to more than 200,000 years.

    These layers provide direct access to:

    • Past climate conditions
    • Ancient ecosystems
    • Long-term environmental change

    Under normal circumstances, this information would remain buried and inaccessible. The current exposure creates a rare opportunity for scientific study.

    A Global Opportunity

    The site raises a practical question: how should the scientific community respond?

    Research in such environments is already conducted through international collaboration. Scientists from multiple countries contribute expertise in geology, paleontology, climate science, and environmental analysis.

    Access to the site is limited by geography, safety concerns, and national jurisdiction. However, the knowledge gained is global in value, not local.

    The situation suggests a need for coordinated study rather than isolated effort.

    The Balance

    There is a tension in how to interpret what is happening.

    The cause of the collapse—rapid warming and permafrost thaw—is destabilizing and carries long-term consequences. At the same time, the exposure of ancient material provides valuable insight into Earth’s past.

    Both conditions exist simultaneously.

    This is not a case of a beneficial discovery. It is a case of a damaging process that produces useful information.

    Perspective

    The expansion of the Batagaika crater is measurable, ongoing, and difficult to reverse at a local level. Once initiated, the thaw-collapse cycle tends to continue as long as environmental conditions support it.

    That makes the site less a singular event and more a visible indicator of a broader trend.

    Similar processes are expected to occur in other permafrost regions as warming continues.

    Conclusion

    The ground in Siberia is opening, exposing a long record of Earth’s environmental history while also releasing carbon that contributes to further change.

    The situation presents a choice: treat it only as a warning, or also as a source of knowledge.

    When conditions cannot be immediately reversed, understanding them becomes part of the response.

    When life hands you lemons, around here you make calamansi and squeeze it over the barbecue.

    Drones Target Tyumen Oil Refinery Deep Inside Russia

    In brief: A drone attack targeted the Tyumen oil refinery in Russia’s Western Siberia on Saturday, located nearly 1,900 kilometers from Ukraine. While regional officials claim the attack was repelled, local residents reported explosions and visible smoke at the facility. The attack occurred alongside a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on logistical routes, energy infrastructure, and military command posts in occupied Crimea, the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, and Russia’s Belgorod region.
