COP30 峰会：在全球变暖问题上再度“开溜”吗？
2025-11-24
| The UN COP30 climate summit ended in Brazil with environmentalists and scientists calling it a cop-out. The compromise final agreement acknowledged global warming but omitted any mention of fossil fuels that scientists say are the major contributor. The accord did agree that rich nations should triple financing to help poorer countries that aren't big polluters but are vulnerable to the effects of global warming, though past pledges haven't always been honored. The agreement also sets up a tropical forest fund to address concerns like deforestation of the Amazon but shied away from more direct action on the issue. The summit's conclusion was disappointment for the 80 or so nations pushing for a more specific timetable to rein in greenhouse gases and phase out fossil fuels, and a win for big oil producing nations. Commenting on the disunity, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Steill said, "I'm not saying we're winning the climate fight. But we are undeniably still in it, and we are fighting back."
The US shunned the summit amid President Donald Trump's stated belief that climate warming is a hoax. At the Group of 20 summit in South Africa this weekend, which Trump didn't attend, leaders of the world's biggest economies issued a joint statement strengthening their commitment to the robust 2016 Paris Climate Accords, which Trump pulled out of. |

什么 AI 泡沫？英伟达盈利超预期
2025-11-20
| Chipmaking giant Nvidia, the world's most valuable listed company, topped market expectations with third-quarter earnings showing a 62 percent increase in revenue to US$57 billion and net income surging 65 percent to US$31.9 billion. It forecast fourth-quarter earnings of US$65 billion, well above analysts' predictions. The widely watched results are expected to quell, at least for now, concerns about the stability of big tech's headlong dive into spending on artificial technology.
Nvidia chips are used by all the leading AI companies to develop new models and technologies. Sales to data centers surged two-thirds to US$51 billion, with the bulk of those sales in "compute" chips, the company's graphic processing units. Nvidia said its best-selling product is the new Blackwell Ultra chip. "Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out," said Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang. "AI is going everywhere, doing everything, all at once." Nvidia shares have declined in recent trading amid concerns about an AI bubble that has sent stock valuations far ahead of short-term earnings potential. In off-hours trading in New York after the results were announced, Nvidia shares rose 3 percent, and other big tech stocks, including Oracle, Alphabet and AMD, also climbed. |

中国暂停进口日本海产品

| China has suspended all imports of Japanese seafood, claiming Japan failed to provide promised technical data regarding its management of Fukushima nuclear wastewater. The move reverses a partial lifting of the ban in June. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said even if exports resumed, strong public anger in China over Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's "reckless" Taiwan remarks would eliminate any market demand. The escalating dispute is also impacting travel. Data from Flight Manager show a decline in tourists travelling from the Chinese mainland to Japan. | |

Alphabet称：若AI泡沫破裂，没人能幸免
2025-11-19
| The boss of Google parent Alphabet told the BBC that if the bubble in artificial intelligences bursts, no company in the industry will escape unscathed. Chief Executive Sundar Pichai described the growth of AI as an "extraordinary moment," while admitting that investment in the sector contains a degree of "irrationality." His comments come in a week when AI-related stocks are retreating, amid fears they are overvalued when compared with their short-term profit potential. The big tech companies have been pouring huge sums into AI technologies and forming a complicated web of industry deals, many involving significant debt. Alphabet alone has doubled investment in AI to US$90 billion. Its shares have doubled in value in seven months to US$3.5 trillion. Can Alphabet weather a bubble puncture? "I think no company is going to be immune, including us," Pichai said. | |
