Warren Buffett warns ‘Father Time’ is catching up but he trusts Berkshire Hathaway successor

Buffett reflected on life and his health in a new letter to shareholders where he announced $1.3 billion in new charitable gifts to the four family foundations run by his children that — along with the Gates Foundation — have been helping steadily give away his fortune since 2006. Berkshire is known for consistently outperforming the stock market during the past 60 years under Buffett — which helped earn him legions of fans — although that ...

Green finance was supposed to contribute solutions to climate change. So far, it’s fallen well short

A decade ago, a seminal speech by Mark Carney, then governor of the Bank of England and current Canadian prime minister, set out how climate change presented an economic risk that threatened the very stability of the financial system. The speech argued the finance sector must deeply embed climate risk into the architecture of the industry or risk massive damages. It was Carney’s description that stuck, calling this the “tragedy of the horizon”: that the catastrophic impacts of climate change will be felt beyond the traditional horizons of most actors, imposing a cost on future generations that the current generation has no direct incentive to fix. He added that by the time those climate impacts are a defining issue for financial stability, it may already be too late. What happe...
