Le Monde: World's glacier mass shrank again in 2024, says UN
In 2024, all 19 glacier regions globally reported a net loss of mass for the third consecutive year, with the World Meteorological Organization warning that glacier preservation is crucial for survival. The last six years have seen unprecedented glacier retreat due to climate change.
The glaciers collectively lost 450 billion tonnes of mass, with Scandinavia and North Asia facing their worst year on record. Many glaciers in regions like western Canada and the United States are projected to not survive this century at current melting rates.

GB News: As Spring Statement looms: Here are five key proposals that could hit you in the pocket
Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces pressure to either raise taxes or implement significant cuts to services following a £40 billion tax increase that failed to stimulate economic growth. With dwindling fiscal headroom and declining approval ratings for Labour, fresh measures are anticipated in her upcoming Spring Forecast.
Potential strategies include freezing tax thresholds, tightening inheritance tax rules, and possibly lowering the threshold for the 45% tax rate. These moves aim to bolster Treasury revenues while navigating political backlash from various sectors, including pensioners and farmers.

Times Of Israel: Trump signs executive order to dismantle US Education Department
President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Education Department, a long-standing goal for conservatives. The order aims to return educational authority to states and local communities, though its actual implementation may require congressional approval.
While the order promises to maintain essential functions like Title I funding and Pell grants, it raises concerns about the future of federal oversight in education, particularly for vulnerable populations. Critics warn that dismantling the department could exacerbate inequalities in the education system.
