Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

In an ideal world with lots of money to spend on social projects it would be great to have. But right now I'd prioritise using the benefits system to massively reduce child poverty.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Stephen from the Outsiders project. He died soon afterwards aged only 39. As the cold sets in it is worth remembering that someone homeless dies on the streets in Britain every six hours. As a society we are defined by how we treat those less fortunate than ourselves.
