The current President is stepping down as the term comes to an end. Great opportunity for internationally minded, Arctic engaged leader! jobbnorge.no/en/available-jo…

🇳🇴 This Monday in Bergen, the #OneOceanSummit brought together global leaders to advance “A Safe and Predicted Ocean.” Alain Arnaud shared how federated digital twins such as EDITO and NORdito can turn ocean data into actionable knowledge.

The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran. This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home. The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.

Congratulations to all Americans who dared to take to the streets today and publicly expressed their stance and disagreement with the actions and policies of their president. #WeSayNoKings 👍👍👍

CNN's Jake Tapper breaks down Trump's claim that he reached a Greenland deal in Davos

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look — the numbers are staggering. It's our Spotify Wrapped "War on Science" edition nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like. Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRBDT4mB/

When I saw this letter, I literally thought, “This is too stupid even for him.” I should have known better.

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum argues. theatln.tc/P354UMw6

These tariffs are unnecessary, punitive, and a profound mistake. They will push our core European allies further away while doing nothing to advance U.S. national security. We are already seeing the consequences of these measures in real time: our NATO allies are being forced to divert attention and resources to Greenland, a dynamic that plays directly into Putin’s hands by threatening the stability of the strongest coalition of democracies the world has ever seen. Congress must work together to reassert our Constitutional authority over tariffs so that they are not weaponized in ways that harm our alliances and undermine American leadership. apnews.com/article/denmark-g…

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "What's happening in Minnesota right now defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. They're pulling over people indiscriminately, including US citizens, and demanding to see their papers. At grocery stores, at bus stops, even at our schools, they're breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street, just plain grabbing Minnesotans and shoving them into unmarked vans. Kidnapping innocent people with no warning and no due process. Let's be very, very clear. This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government. This week, he went online to promise that 'the day of retribution and reckoning is coming.' That's a direct threat against the people of this state who dared to vote against him three times and who continue to stand up for freedom with courage and empathy and profound grace."

We have a lot ahead of us in 2026. Taking Greenland shouldn’t be on that list. Instead, we should continue building relationships—through trade, tourism, cultural exchange, and indigenous governance—rather than sending provocative messages that undo decades of trust.

Members of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, I am a citizen of Greenland 🇬🇱 You must understand the gravity of the situation. The people of Greenland are not for sale. The citizens of Greenland are not slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1865, and the idea that a people or their land can be acquired has no place in the modern world, under international law, or within democratic societies. At this moment, the citizens of Greenland—from children to the elderly—are feeling unsafe and deeply unsettled by the current situation. No population should be made to feel fear or insecurity because of statements made by those in positions of power. There are no Russian or Chinese naval forces operating in Greenlandic waters. Claims suggesting otherwise are false and misleading. The United States already has a strong and long-standing defense agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark. This agreement has provided the United States with full military access to Greenland in support of American and allied security. You, as members of Congress, have a responsibility to act. You must uphold international law, respect the sovereignty of allies, and ensure that no attempt is made to take control of Greenland🇬🇱 You took an oath to the Constitution, not to President Trump. The world is watching. The people of Greenland are watching. Action is required now. Sincerely,

Norway announces historical claim to North America

China again doubled down on solar in the first half of 2025, adding in 6 months more than America has built in its entire history. They're literally growing at a rate of 2 United States a year. Which raises an interesting question for the many people out there who, like Trump, believe that "renewables are a joke" and "green energy is a scam". Year after year, China is doubling down on renewables, now reaching investment levels of an unimaginable scale, investing far more than the rest of the world combined. China isn't exactly "woke" or known as bleeding heart liberals. They're more famous as the world's most hardheaded economic planners. If they're going all-in on renewables at this scale, investing in it like it's the winning bet of the century, maybe it's worth wondering if maybe the "joke" won't end up being on the ones laughing.

Ein ny god og tankevekkande artikkel om nedbygging av natur i regi av @NRKno - denne gang for heile Europa. Ikkje overraskande toppar Noreg verstinglista (nedbygd areal per innbyggar per år). Sveits er best i klassen. Her har me noko å læra! nrk.no/dokumentar/xl/europa-…
