Gauld's original alt txt: Panel one: "A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us." says Franz Kafka. He looks solemn, and holds up a finger to show that he is serious. Panel two: The publishers across the table say "That's all very well, Franz. But we commissioned a board book for toddlers". Panel three: "And here it is!" Kafka answers proudly, holding up a colourful book. It is titled "Choppy Helps out" and shows a cute axe with a friendly face (presumably Choppy) and his friend, a frozen, smiling sea. note: Herr Kafka gave me the manuscript for "Choppy Helps Out!" on the undertanding that I destroyed it after his death. I could not bring myself to do so. If you are a publisher and interested in purchasing the rights, please contact me via my website

Forecast 2-m temperatures today in Finland, based on the MEPS regional model.

20 straight days with 30 °C in Finland! Truly unprecedented heatwave still in full swing with maximum today about 32-33 degrees.

Even the Arctic regions (e.g. Sodankylä Tähtelä) have seen three weeks above 25 °C, and may rival tomorrow their August heat records.

Elke politicus, regering en organisatie heeft de plicht om dit te stoppen, met alle middelen die ze heeft.

Dat begint bij België. Wat nodig is, zijn concrete, doortastende maatregelen. Geen uitstel. Geen uitvluchten. Actie. Trek de rode lijn. Nu.
