Our planet's history recorded in ice just got about 50% longer! Beyond EPICA: Oldest Ice have reached the Antarctic bedrock and what is probably the planet's oldest ice - the trapped ancient air bubbles could help us better understand climate change. My story here www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This chart, titled "How far apart are the incomes of the rich and poor in different countries?" compares the monthly after-tax income of individuals in the richest 10% and the poorest 10% across various countries. The income disparities are represented visually with vertical lines and circles for each country, showing the ratio between the two groups. For instance, in South Africa (2017), the richest 10% earn 22 times more than the poorest 10%, while in Norway (2021), the richest 10% earn only 3.1 times more. Other countries included are Brazil (2022), China (2018), Uruguay (2022), the UK (2021), and the US (2022), with the disparity ranging from 3.1x in Norway to 22x in South Africa. All incomes are measured in international dollars at 2017 prices to account for differences in the cost of living. Data source: Luxembourg Income Study (2024).

Where is globalisation going?
I’ve always worked for and believed in many benefits from global trade. Recent years of growing isolationism across geographical regions have been fracturing global trade flows. We need a new balanced approach for free trade respecting labour, environment and consumers.
