Good news for once. BBC reports that some of the largest companies in the US have told President Bush that he must push government actions to stop climate change. The companies in question have formed a partnership to cut greenhouse gases by 60% until 2050. That’s a pretty damn respectful goal. Nice to see some energy companies react as well.

I’ve been trying to fight a cold today, on the first true day of winter in Helsinki. The temperature was about -13 in the morning – the coldest in a long time, as I walked to work. This winter has by no means been a normal one. Even though I’m a 110% a summer person – it’s about time we got some snow.
