Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Academics at the University of Oxford and the University of Pennsylvania have conducted the most comprehensive review of evidence on the effectiveness on carbon offsetting to date and concluded the practice is ineffective and riddled with “intractable” problems. The review is published in the Annual Review of Environment and Resources. Carbon offsets are projects that generate credits meant to represent the reduction, avoidance, or removal of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the atmosphere. The first carbon offset was generated in 1989. The authors call for the phasing out of most credits except those generated by permanent…

Image source: Getty Images Now that large language models have access to live data, they’re even more valuable for investors. They can be used to summarise news articles and even make up-to-date predictions. Take FTSE 100 bank Lloyds (LSE: LLOY), for instance. The stock has been flying, doubling in value since early 2024. I can use the intellectual horsepower of neural nets to get a prediction of whether it will keep surging, or whether it is a stock to avoid. I asked, “Where will the Lloyds shares price be in 2030?” And here’s what it said: The answer Based on…
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) doesn’t seem to have a reverse gear. Time after time, the Nvidia share price is called expensive. And on every single occasion (so far), it has surged to new heights. Things might be changing, however. The AI revolution has been the major catalyst driving Nvidia upwards. But it could also be its Achilles heel. The Bank of England and head of JP Morgan Jamie Dimon have both said that a correction could be on the horizon, perhaps in the next six months to two years. What does that mean for Nvidia shares? Will they keep rocketing up…

Image source: Getty Images I’ve been keeping a close eye on the easyJet (LSE: EZJ) share price for the last year, waiting for it to fly. Instead, it’s remained resolutely grounded. The FTSE 100 budget carrier did benefit from the wider stock market recovery in April, after Donald Trump paused his tariff war, but has trailed back since. That’s surprised me, because I felt it had a massive potential, and I still do. This morning (14 October), the easyJet share price jumped more than 11% at one point. That was after reports that the privately owned Mediterranean Shipping Company was exploring a…

The price of gold has gone into overdrive, rocketing 55% in just one year. But Goldman Sachs sees it topping almost $5,000 per ounce by the end of 2026 due to rising gold ETF demand and central bank purchases of the metal. With the price at $4,140 today, this forecast suggests more gains could be ahead. Here are two gold stocks that should continue doing well if the yellow metal surges to $5,000. Both are worthy of attention. FTSE 100 Let’s start with the highest-profile, which is Mexico’s Fresnillo (LSE:FRES). Incredibly, this FTSE 100 stock has gained more than 300%…
Dr. Nguyen Nhat Ha Chi, ESG Manager, Dragon Capital The Vietnamese Government has made significant progress in promoting the benefits of a carbon market, in particular following the commitment made by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh at COP 26 to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Since then, the legal framework has been continually refined, amending and supplementing key provisions such as raising the offset limit to 30 per cent from the previous 10 per cent, expanding market participation, and clearly defining eligible offset project types. In parallel, the government has published a list of more than 2,000 entities required to…
