Global leaders have promised to reduce their country’s fossil fuel consumption since the 2105 Paris Agreement. Yet, according to a United Nations report issued on Thursday, countries have essentially made no progress in cutting emissions and tackling global warming.

A comment in the discussion thread under one of our recent articles — perhaps this one about BYD’s leadership — triggered a question in my head. How many new models has BYD released in the past year? I asked our resident expert, José Pontes, and he shared 9 models that … [continued]

Like many, I continue to be a bit baffled that someone who has led a couple of companies to great things has also proven to be extremely simple minded and gullible on other matters. In one field, it’s all about “first principles” and digging down into the heart of matters … [continued]
