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.

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

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.

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....
