The ice extent in the Baltic Sea is growing rapidly, and yesterday's value of 140,000 km² is close to the largest extent in 2007–2021.
We have already surpassed the winter maximum values for 2019–2025, with the previous higher extent being in 2018.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Kommunekommisjon vil gi kommunene større frihet og fjerne statlige krav, blant annet i skolen. Det vil skape bråk.

Think about this: Norway is a country that stretches far from south to north, with Svalbard in the far north. Yet Svalbard is today the warmest place in Norway and the only place with observed temperatures above zero 😮
