Siberia and the Arctic were among the hottest regions. The heat fueled wildfires that pumped even more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. nyti.ms/38GSC7m

The heat was also felt in Europe, which had its warmest year ever and experienced blistering heat waves as late as September. nyti.ms/38GSC7m

With only a week left in his term, the House impeached President Trump, but he will probably finish his term before he stands trial in the Senate. Here’s how the process works. nyti.ms/35GeptW

Afghans engulfed by violence have begun carrying slips of paper known as pocket notes — homemade, civilian versions of a soldier’s dog tags — with vital information should they be wounded or killed in an attack. nyti.ms/38Fa2RU

Tareq Qassemi knows too well how dangerous Kabul can be. “I could get killed on my way to work or in a car or anywhere, and no one knows about me and they will look for my body everywhere,” he said. “I could just vanish.” nyti.ms/38Fa2RU

Masouma Tajik, a computer science student in Kabul, carries a pocket note with the phone numbers of family members who live hundreds of miles away so that authorities can contact them if she’s a victim of an attack. nyti.ms/38Fa2RU

Three New York Times journalists were at the Capitol when it was breached. Here’s how they experienced it, in their own words. nyti.ms/2MNM6Dl

Erin Schaff, a Times staff photographer, describes “hyperventilating, unsure of what to do” after an encounter with violent protesters. nyti.ms/2MNM6Dl

Nicholas Fandos, a Times congressional reporter, said he had “10 seconds to decide whether to run out or get locked in myself.” He chose to stay, “deciding I should keep my eyes on the senators I was there to cover, no matter what came next.” nyti.ms/2MNM6Dl
