If humans have any shot at saving our planet from a climate apocalypse, we can’t just reduce our carbon emissions—we also have to sequester them. Thankfully, we already have a powerful weapon at our disposal. It’s called nature 1/ wired.trib.al/2ys6vyb

Scientists recently found that with an ambitious yet realistic worldwide conservancy campaign, humanity could reduce peak warming by 0.1 degrees Celsius under a scenario that assumes a 1.5-degree rise in global temperatures by 2055 2/

That might not sound like much, but because nature-based solutions keep on sequestering carbon as long as those habitats remain healthy, in this scenario we’d actually shave off 0.4 degrees of warming by 2100. And we’re talking about projects that can start today 3/

For 17 years, Brood X cicadas hunkered down in subterranean exile. This week, across 15 eastern states, billions of them began to emerge. @eniiler got up close to thousands of cicadas hatching so you don’t have to 1/ wired.trib.al/N6rXKUX

After crawling out of their holes, the cicadas wait as their bodies grow stronger and harden into the mini-Hulks of the insect world. Within a few hours, their bodies darken, their eyes turn red, they develop a set of powerful wings and a desire to mate 2/

This is what they look like immediately after emerging from their exoskeleton. You’re watching their first steps as an "adult" insect after spending almost two decades as a nymph underground 3/

On the web, 36-year old David Wilson pretended to be a 13-year old girl. Using Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram accounts, Wilson used stolen images of young girls to befriend other children online. And once he did, the abuse would begin.
wired.trib.al/ZvYuGqT Via @WiredUK 1/

Wilson would send sexual images of young women and demand his victims, all of them younger than 15 years of age, send him photos and videos of themselves in return. 2/

Soon, Wilson turned to blackmail–forcing the children to performing more extreme sexual acts. In some cases, he forced his victims to abuse their younger brothers and sisters, some of whom were as young as four years old. 3/

In 2011, RSA was hacked: the worst breach of a security firm to that date. The hack, carried out by Chinese spies, pulled the rug out from under the world’s model of security. For 10 years, RSA execs have been bound to silence by NDAs—which just expired 1/ wired.trib.al/ffxPoam

The intruders were able to steal the “seeds” underpinning RSA’s SecurID tokens: fobs that let you prove your identity by entering the six-digit codes that update on their screens. The hack erased a critical safeguard protecting 40 million accounts worldwide 2/

RSA’s customers included government agencies, defense contractors, and corporations across the globe.

The new accounts capture the experience of being targeted by sophisticated state hackers who meticulously take on high-value networked targets on a geopolitical scale 3/
