Holme Fen, Cambridgeshire. These two iron posts, much taller than me, show how much the ground has sunk (due to peat shrinkage) since the draining of Whittlesea Mere in the 1850s. This now marks the lowest point in the UK.

NOAA is one of the agencies targeted in Project 2025. It produces global public goods on climate and for early warning systems. It faces a crisis under the next orange administration.
Today from NOAA:
“The January–October global surface temperature ranked warmest in the 175-year record at 1.28°C (2.30°F) above the 1901-2000 average… it is practically certain that 2024 will rank as the warmest year on record.”

Labour’s commitment to abolish hereditary peers is finally in motion, with the Bill advancing in Parliament. It’s a chance to bring the Lords closer to representing modern Britain, not a 17th-century aristocracy | Jenny Rhodes

59% of banned books were children’s books featuring diverse characters or nonfiction books about historical figures, according to a new study. Authors of color wrote 39% of the books even though authors of color make up just 10% of U.S. authors #Booksky #BlackSky
Most US book bans target children’s literature featuring diverse characters and authors of color
The number of book bans in the US has soared in recent years. A new study shines light on which types of books and authors are the main targets.
