Pre Budget Report
Fine work by the Guardian today
Infographic analysis, a column wide showing UK GDP sector share between 1970 and 2007
For example in 1970 'manufacturing' was 31.7%, whereas two years ago it checkout out at 12.4% of the UK's core money spinner
Apologies for the poor scan, but the graphic is so clear, and well conceived that only a complete numpty can not see the extremely clear, sector comparisons, ahead of Alistair Darlings' final Pre Budget Report
A great piece of work!

Climate change refugees
The world's first climate change refugees
They are not please with their new-found notoriety, but the inhabitants of the Carteret Islands, after their 300 year history, will be uprooted and evacuated from their homes
The cause: rising sea levels
Where the once white beaches made the island a secret idyll, the highest point now only stands 5ft above sea level
An interactive, by scrolling down the home page by David Kinross, shows this perfectly
The 'Tulin' – people who come from the ocean – and interviewed by the Daily Telegraph, can be seen and heard here on Telegraph.co.uk
Lets hope the world leaders at the summit in Copenhagen can sort their squabbles and deliver
