Each new year of climate data makes our future projections more accurate, without adding noise.
New study shows observational updates sharpen climate forecasts and confirm human-caused warming is a stable, reliable metric.

Chart showing Estimated annual cost and reduction in the number of children in relative poverty after housing costs, various two-child limit options, 2029-30: UK
The most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty is to abolish the two-child limit, which would cost £7,480 per child lifted out of poverty.
If it is not scrapped then one-in-three children will be in poverty by 2029-39, including half of children in large families 👉 buff.ly/oiV5Re2
This is excellent. Well and truly puts Reform and Farage in their place. Well done Durham Miners' Association. Reform of course now run Durham Council.

How much of an impact does the benefit cap have on labour market outcomes?
Not so much on boosting employment as you'd hope, says @aaronreeves.bsky.social . Instead it has a larger impact on pushing families deeper into economic inactivity by harming their mental health.

A green-tinted image of a muddy and debris-covered road with a damaged car to the left. The text at the top reads: "REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE." The central text says: "THE DEVASTATION." The Green Party logo and promotional details appear at the bottom.
A split green-tinted image with three sections: the left showing a waterfall with debris, the center featuring Nigel Farage's profile, and the bottom left showing Kemi Badenoch gesturing while speaking. The central text says: "IS REAL."
A green-toned graphic with a rocky background showing a damaged road and a collapsed section. The text reads: "The suffering caused by climate breakdown is increasing. The social and economic costs of inaction will greatly outweigh the costs of climate action. Bold action will also improve lives through warmer homes, lower energy costs, and new job opportunities."
The devastation of Storm Bert reminds us: climate change is here, and it's hitting the UK hard. While Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage deny the urgency of net zero, the Greens call for the bold, transformative action the UK and our planet needs.

It's great that the Government have set up a Child Poverty Taskforce, but ~10,000 children have been dragged into poverty *because of the two-child limit* since Labour took office. Around 1.6 million children are currently affected by the two-child limit. So why keep it? cpag.org.uk/news/10000-c....

"Anyone who services a Russian owned plane is guilty of sanctions busting. Even refuelling a Russian owned plane breaks sanctions rules. Yet those planes are getting refuelled & serviced. Sanctions are not working."
