The Arctic has just set a new record low for this time of year.
As of 26 November 2025, sea ice extent is the lowest on record for the date based on OSI SAF sea ice climate data (1978–2024).

Arctic sea-ice extent just passed the border into the "record-low" domain.
Same for Barents, Baffin, Hudson, and Svalbard regions.
Second-lowest globally.

I was waiting to hear from folks like Stop Rosebank and @tessakhan.bsky.social before commenting on this but it really seems like the real deal.

Norwegian conservatives are using it to claim it makes Norwegian oil and gas supply EVEN MORE heroic and brave

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

"Today, what drives people to garden may not be the fear of hunger so much as hunger for physical contact, hope for nature’s resilience and a longing to engage in work that is real."

The impulse to garden in hard times has deep roots
In times of upheaval, Americans have always turned to the soil. From victory gardens to modern plots, gardening reveals a deep desire for connection, purpose, and a touch of something real when the wo...

Halfway through November,
and Arctic sea ice is missing in the Atlantic sector:
Hudson Bay,
Baffin Bay & Labrador sea (fell out of the "normal" zone),
and the Barents Sea.

3. put in 50 garlic cloves, and
4. top it all off with a blanket of snow

The River Cherwell feeds into the River Thames. The River Thames fills up Farmoor reservoir. Farmoor reservoir supplies water to approx 600,000 people. Including my house.

As well as letting it kill our wildlife, we are drinking this stuff.
🚨 SHOCKING 🚨

A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime.

Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river.

We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW.

Our rivers cannot wait. 👇👇

🪸 New study reports VERY high densities of marine debris on
the deep seafloor of the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea: 4,975 - 79,840 items per km2 (mean = 27,267 items/km2)!
48% were #plastics and highest densities were observed near a public beach 🏖️.

Dette er ei mørk uke for alle som er opptatt av et bedre tilbud på tog til og fra utlandet. I går kom nyheten om at det ikke blir noen forbedringer av togtilbudet mellom Trondheim og Sverige - tross at man har elektrifisert og ruster opp banen for 2 mrd kroner.
Togtilbudet på Meråkerbanen etter elektrifisering
Jernbanedirektoratet har besluttet at dagens togtilbud med SJ Norge fortsetter som planlagt mot 2028 etter elektrifiseringen av Meråkerbanen er ferdig vinteren 2025.

50 years ago, today, a whale exploded on an Oregon beach. 20 years later, before social media or video sharing sights or smartphones, it would become the first viral Internet video.

We sent it to each other in the mail.

The History of Exploding Whales Is the History of the Internet Itself

A total of 36,2 million tons of cargo was shipped on the Northern Sea Route in 2025. A major part of it was carried by 'shadow fleet' ships unsuitable for sailing in the Arctic
'Shadow ships' take pole position on Northern Sea Route
And the Russian sea route administration that previously provided updated public information about Arctic ship traffic no longer delivers reliable data.
