Global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions continue to break records, with no continent left untouched by more frequent and intense extreme weather events. MoneyClimate finance is always a hotly debated talking point at the U.N. summit and COP28 promises to be no different. She anticipated three main debates around the use of oil, gas and coal — the burning of which is the chief driver of the climate crisis. "So, one is this 'phase out' or 'phase down' [of fossil fuels]. There is no credible scenario where CCS will allow continued use of fossil fuels, let alone expanding oil and gas.

Mr. Strubulis, a product manager for a packaging company with decades of experience negotiating contracts, had written Butler a letter asking for more financial aid. The school politely declined, he said.

"I've been silenced... literally, by a nasty cold so, annoyingly, won't be working at Brighton this afternoon," Lineker wrote on Twitter. loadingThe former England captain had returned to host BBC's soccer show coverage a week after his suspension for criticising government immigration policy caused a row over the broadcaster's impartiality rules.

☆ Historic compensation fund approved at U.N. climate talks
  + stars: | 2022-11-20 | by ( The Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +5 min

Early Sunday morning, delegates approved the compensation fund but had not dealt with the contentious issues of an overall temperature goal, emissions cutting and the desire to target all fossil fuels for phase down. This year’s talks “were very focused on the fund and less on the mitigation (cutting emissions) part,” Eide added. However, that fight was overshadowed by the historic compensation fund. But like all climate financials, it is one thing to create a fund, it’s another to get money flowing in and out, she said.

  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Sarah Min | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Shares of life insurance company Lincoln National are a buying opportunity that can jump more than 30% from Tuesday's close, according to Goldman Sachs.

Lincoln National disclosed a $2 billion charge related to its secondary guarantee universal life insurance (SGUL), and a $550 million cash impact, which meaningfully reduced the RBC ratio, according to the note. An RBC ratio represents the risk-based capital ratio that an insurer needs to maintain to protect the company against insolvency. The analyst identified Lincoln National as a buying opportunity after reviewing the life insurance sector, which had a difficult quarter as a group because of volatility from actuarial reviews and RBC updates.
