Increase in Co2 Concentrations in the atmosphere. The link between c02 and rising temperatures is well established and this year Global Temperatures got an extra boost thanks to el nino, which brings warmer water to the surface of parts of the tropical pacific. That explains why february was 1. 77 degrees warmer than preindustrial temperatures, and why global average temperatures hit a record 1. 55 degrees above preindustrial levels over the last 12 months. It means we have temporarily at least breached the 1. 5 degrees threshold the world agreed to try and limit Temperature Rise to, to avoid the worst impacts of Climate Change. February 2024 was the warmest february on record globally, with an average temperature of 13. 54 degrees, above the 1991 2020 temperature. While this is remarkable, because, for instance, it is a tenth of a degree warmer than the warmest previous february, which was 2016, its not really surprising, because this has been the el nino year, where temperatures tend

Odd system, it is odd because it rewards them for keeping their money outside the uk, which we think is the opposite of what we should do. What has changed with that . What has changed with that . What has changed is that any weird concept of domicile has been abolished, there will be a simple definition based on how many years you have been resident in the uk, which is sensible, and a complete exemption from tax on the foreign assets of someone who has recently arrived in the uk, which is simpler, and i think federer.
