Ja! Vesterhavsost fra Thise mejeri er fantastisk. Og bror-osten Rav-ost er like bra. Usikker om kolonihagen er produsert i Norge eller ved danske Vesterhavet(?)

Splash screen for the post: Arctic Regional Monthly Temperature Extremes: Easy today, but over time it's complicated.

Are temperatures far from "normal" becoming more common in the Arctic? It's an simple question but it quickly turns complicated. The latest post from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter takes a look this thorny question. #Arctic #Climate

❄ Out now: the January 2026 #C3S Climate Bulletin reports that the Arctic sea ice extent was 6% below average – the third lowest on record for January – while the Antarctic sea ice extent was 8% below average.

January 2026 was the fifth-warmest January on record globally. Europe saw its coldest January since 2010, while much of the Arctic was unusually warm. Arctic sea ice extent was third-lowest on record for the month.

Ice extent in the Baltic Sea. Black line shows the extent for 2025-2026, and the background shading indicate the climatology for the period 2007-2021.

The ice extent in the Baltic Sea is growing rapidly, and yesterday's value of 140,000 kmΒ² 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.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

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.

Auschwitz took time.

No amount of planting can ever substitute veteran trees: as habitat, as climate regulation, and for sheer *character*.

Only being wild, self-seeded, and the passage of time produces this.
