Credit: CC0 Public Domain A team of researchers, led by Cambridge University, has now formulated a method to assess whether carbon removal portfolios can help limit global warming over centuries. The approach also distinguishes between buying credits to offset risk versus claiming net-negative emissions. The study paves the way for nature-based carbon removal projects—such as planting new forests or restoring existing ones—to become effective climate change solutions when balanced with a portfolio of other removal techniques, according to researchers. They say the findings, published in the journal Joule, show how nature-based and technology-based carbon storage solutions can work together through…

So much so, some investors are calling for it to be spun off. The Irish black beer brand would be expected to have a $10bn market cap all on its own. Is Diageo a one trick pony then? Hardly. With drinks like Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, and Tanqueray, it has some of the best names in vodka, whiskey, and gin respectively. Is it losing out in the no…
Image source: Getty Images Having been an investor for nearly four decades, my investing strategy has evolved over time. Nowadays, I’m a big fan of two things. First, value investing, which my hero Warren Buffett defines as buying into great companies at fair prices. Second, I love collecting passive income in the form of share dividends. Fabulous FTSE 100 dividends As a value/dividend investor, I’ve found many of my top stocks in the UK’s main FTSE 100 index. Indeed, my family portfolio currently includes over 20 different Footsie and FTSE 250 shares. We bought many of these for their market-beating…

Image source: Getty Images It’s plausible for penny stocks and small companies to see large share price moves in the course of just a few months. But when this happens to a billion-pound market cap stock, it’s usually for a big reason. So when I got alerted to a FTSE 250 company where the share price is up 112% in just six months, I decided to do more research. Reasons for the surge The company I’m talking about is Goodwin (LSE:GDWN). It’s a specialised mechanical and refractory engineering group. What this means is it makes everything from valves to castings…
Image source: Getty Images There are two key reasons why I believe using Stocks and Shares ISAs is the best method to plan for retirement. First, they are not liable for income tax or capital gains tax on up to £20,000 invested each year (April 6 to April 5). Second, unlike pensions, ISAs have no age restrictions on withdrawals. So money invested in it (up to the maximum yearly allowance) can be withdrawn anytime in any amount with no tax penalties. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change…
