Why so surprised? After all, a majority of English and Welsh voters voted for Brexit

If the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to DJT, I will personally travel to Oslo to defecate on the steps of the Nobel Committee building. However, as the committee leader's previous job was heading the rebuild of Utøya after the terrorist attack in 2011, I find that rather unlikely...

Er såpass gammel at jeg mener å minnes at RBK og LSK fikk tilskudd/subsidier fra NFF til utvikling, og at RBK klarte å omsette dette i nesten to tiår med kontinuerlig suksess. Ja, det er flere grunner til RBKs dominans (NAE...), men de fikk stå på skuldrene til resten

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

Fun fact: in 1931 Norwegian whalers and fur trappers tried to annex part of the east coast of Greenland on behalf of Norway. Despite support from (among others) Vidkun Quisling, the initiative failed and the Norwegian claim was defeated in the Hague.
