<title>Where Confidence in the Police Is Highest & Lowest</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Where-Confidence-in-the-Police-Is-Highest--Lowest-20240917090702.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>How does confidence in law enforcement&nbsp;compare around the world?&nbsp;Gallup recently released its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gallup.com/analytics/356963/gallup-global-law-and-order-report.aspx?thank-you-report-form=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Law &amp; Order Index</a>, which is a composite score based on reported confidence in the police, feelings of personal security and incidences of theft or mugging in different countries over the past year.&nbsp;</p><p>Tajikistan had the highest level of confidence in law and order in this edition of the index with a score of 96, followed jointly by Finland, Iceland, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Norway and Vietnam with 92. The lowest confidence levels were seen in Liberia with a score of just 49, largely attributable to the high share of respondents who have been victims of crime and their lack of faith in the police. The Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone and The Gambia also found themselves at the bottom of the law and order confidence rankings.</p><p>According to the report: “In most economically developed countries and territories with strong rule of law, high majorities of residents say they feel safe walking alone in their areas at night. The same is true in countries where populations are under tighter state control. For example, these feelings were nearly universal in 2022 in countries such as&nbsp;Kuwait.”</p></description>

<title>📈 The Shale Revolution: Reshaping the U.S. Oil and Gas Industry</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi--The-Shale-Revolution-Reshaping-the-US-Oil-and-Gas-Industry-20240917194052.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Historically, U.S. crude oil production maintained steady growth until 1970, peaking at 9.6 million barrel per day (bpd). However, a downward trend ensued from the early 1970s, hitting a nadir of 5.0 million bpd in 2005. The emergence of shale oil extraction technology acted as a transformative force, reshaping the U.S. oil production landscape. Notably, shale oil output surged from roughly 0.5 million bpd in 2008 to 8.4 million bpd by 2023, constituting a substantial 65% of the total U.S. crude oil yield. This astounding expansion propelled the U.S. to eclipse both Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's foremost oil-producing nation, achieving an average daily output of 11.0 million barrels in 2018.</p><p>The landscape of dry natural gas production has witnessed distinct cycles over the decades. The initial phase peaked at 21.7 trillion cubic feet in 1973 but tapered to 16.1 trillion cubic feet by 1986. A second cycle emerged in 2008, with production surging to 37.9 trillion cubic feet in 2023. From 2009 to 2023, conventional U.S. natural gas extraction, excluding shale, experienced a 50% reduction. The share of shale gas in U.S. natural gas production increased from around 6% in the early 2000s to 78% in 2023.</p><p>The shale revolution's impact on the U.S. economy and energy markets has been profound. The increased domestic production of oil and natural gas has reduced the country's dependence on foreign energy imports, enhancing energy security. Additionally, the abundance of shale gas has led to lower natural gas prices, benefiting consumers and industries alike. The chemical industry, in particular, has seen a renaissance due to the availability of cheap natural gas, which is a key feedstock for chemical production.</p><p>Moreover, the shale boom has spurred job creation and economic growth in regions rich in shale resources, such as Texas, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. These areas have seen significant investments in infrastructure, including pipelines, storage facilities, and export terminals, further integrating the U.S. into the global energy market. The ability to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) has positioned the U.S. as a major player in the global LNG market, offering an alternative to traditional suppliers like Russia and Qatar.</p><p>However, the shale revolution has not been without its challenges and controversies. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process, which involves injecting high-pressure fluid into shale formations to release oil and gas. Critics argue that fracking can contaminate groundwater, induce seismic activity, and contribute to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. In response, the industry and regulators have been working to implement stricter safety and environmental standards to mitigate these risks.</p><p>Despite these concerns, the shale revolution has undeniably transformed the U.S. energy landscape. The surge in domestic oil and gas production has reshaped global energy dynamics, reducing the influence of traditional oil-producing nations and contributing to a more diverse and competitive energy market. As technology continues to advance, the potential for further increases in shale oil and gas production remains strong, promising continued benefits for the U.S. economy and energy security.</p><p>In conclusion, the shale revolution has marked a new era for the U.S. oil and gas industry. By leveraging innovative extraction technologies, the U.S. has not only revitalized its energy sector but also established itself as a dominant force in the global energy market. The ongoing advancements and adaptations in shale technology will likely sustain this momentum, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of the energy industry for years to come.</p></description>

<title>Iran Executed at Least 853 People in 2023</title>

<p>At least 853 people were executed in&nbsp;Iran&nbsp;in 2023, according to a<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/7869/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;report</a>&nbsp;by human rights advocacy group Amnesty International. This is up 170 percent from 2021, when at least 314 people were killed, and marks the highest number of deaths recorded in eight years. These figures are likely low estimates due to the Iranian authorities not publishing such data publicly.</p><p>According to Amnesty, the death penalty has historically been used as a tool to exert control over the population, stating that the uptick in executions since the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising of 2022, is “consistent with previously recorded patterns in Iran following periods of unrest and political dissent.”&nbsp;</p><p>While over half of the executions in 2023 were carried out for drug-related offenses, with members of the oppressed Baluchi ethnic minority disproportionately impacted, the report states that nine people have also been executed in direct connection to the 2022 protests. Amnesty reports that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/8077/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a further eight individuals are under sentence of death</a>&nbsp;in relation to the uprising.&nbsp;</p><p>According to another source,&nbsp;<a href="https://iranhr.net/en/articles/6896/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iran Human Rights</a>, at least 402 people have been executed in Iran in 2024 so far, with at least 100 recorded deaths in August alone. The group says that 50 of these were under charges of murder and 46 executions for drugs, with numbers having seen hikes after the presidential elections.</p></description>

<p>Lithium is the core component of the most popular battery technology: lithium-ion batteries. This means electric vehicles and stationary batteries are highly reliant on this material.</p><p>The second most popular technology — lithium iron phosphate (LFP) — also uses lithium, so the most likely alternative will still need large amounts of lithium.</p><p>Some manufacturers are developing new chemistries, such as sodium-ion, which don’t use lithium. A widespread shift to this technology would significantly reduce expected demand in the future.</p><h1>Production</h1><p>Australia produced around one-half of the world’s lithium in 2023. China made up another quarter of production.</p><p>Chile and Argentina both lie in the so-called “lithium triangle”, a region in the Andes that has large lithium reserves and crosses the borders of these two countries and Bolivia. They both mine significant amounts of lithium.</p></description>

<title>Chinese Consumers Focus on Four Sites for Online Shopping</title>

<p>A recent Statista Consumer Insights survey shows that Chinese consumers rely on domestic providers for online shopping. Chief among them is&nbsp;JD, where 61 percent of respondents have shopped at in the past 12 months, followed by Taobao (54 percent) and Tmall (51 percent), both of which are owned by Alibaba.</p><p>While Amazon is usually seen as the leading global e-commerce platform, it only plays a minor role in the People's Republic. 20 percent of respondents said they had ordered from the U.S. platform recently. Apart from Amazon, only two other foreign online shops feature among the 16 that survey respondents could choose from: Apple with ten percent and Sephora with eight percent.</p><p>In two cases, consumer preference also translates to successful economic performance. Taobao's and Tmall's parent company&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;generated a trailing twelve month revenue of $132.4 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/china/largest-chinese-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Companies Market Cap</a>. This performance netted it rank 53 out of the more than 9,000 global public companies listed on the site. JD fared even better, cracking the global top 50 with $154 billion, making it the Chinese tech company with the highest revenue, ranking 40th worldwide. So even with most of the products sold on Amazon manufactured in China&nbsp;according to a <a href="https://www.junglescout.com/resources/reports/amazon-seller-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent seller survey</a> by Amazon seller software Jungle Scout, the People's Republic's residents put more stock into&nbsp;homegrown alternatives.</p></description>

<title>Germany Invests Less in Public Infrastructure than Other Countries</title>

<p>Productivity in Germany has been dragged down by inadequate investment in public infrastructure. Public investment declined in the 1990s and, since then, has barely been enough to&nbsp;<a href="https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0222/ch3.xhtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">offset depreciation</a>. This puts Germany near the bottom of advanced economies in public investment. Money that has been budgeted for investment is routinely underspent, often because of staff shortages in municipalities.</p><p>To boost public investment, Germany could expand municipalities’ planning capacity through consulting services programs like Partnerschaft Deutschland. Germany could increase financing for public investment by reforming other expenditures, mobilizing more revenue, or adjusting the debt brake limits on federal borrowing, as explained in our most recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/CR/Issues/2023/07/14/Germany-2023-Article-IV-Consultation-Press-Release-Staff-Report-and-Statement-by-the-536350" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">staff report</a>. The debt brake could be eased by around 1 percent of GDP while still allowing public debt to decline as a share of GDP.</p><p>Productivity could also be enhanced by cutting red tape, which is a barrier to both investment and starting new businesses. For example, it takes about&nbsp;<a href="https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/0e9db9fa-d653-11ec-a95f-01aa75ed71a1/language-en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">five to six years</a>&nbsp;to get permission to build an onshore wind farm. And it takes&nbsp;<a href="https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/en/data/exploreeconomies/2021/germany" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">120 days</a>&nbsp;to obtain a business license, more than double the OECD average.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2024/03/27/germanys-real-challenges-are-aging-underinvestment-and-too-much-red-tape" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>How Many Motor Vehicles per Capita Does the U.S. Have?</title>

<p>Even with&nbsp;<a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=true&amp;year_high_desc=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an urbanization rate of more than 80 percent</a>, the United States is still seen as a country that has to rely on transportation via passenger vehicles due to the varying quality of its public transit and long-distance train and bus network. However, the idea that U.S. residents own more than one car is, on average, untrue.</p><p>Statista calculations based on data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2022/state/totals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Census Bureau</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;show that only nine U.S. states have a motorization rate, meaning in this case the&nbsp;number of motor vehicles&nbsp;per capita, at or above 1.0. Since the data doesn't disaggregate the pool of motor vehicles by private and commercial use, a higher density of, for example, agricultural businesses or companies relying on larger vehicle fleets might skew the results. Another factor to consider is that not every motor vehicle is classified as a car.

<title>The State of Autonomous Vehicle Safety</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-State-of-Autonomous-Vehicle-Safety-20240906122419.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>The inclusion of assisted driving, which aids the driver of a car with braking or steering in specific situations, has been the norm for newly manufactured automobiles for a while now.&nbsp;Fully autonomous driving, however, is still not considered ready for the mass market, even though the development and deployment of robotaxis in select cities in China and the U.S. have been advancing at a steady pace.&nbsp;</p><p>One major roadblock often brought up by critics is safety issues, which led to the suspension of the driverless testing permits for General Motors' AV subsidiary Cruise in San Francisco in 2023 after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/24/23930629/california-dmv-suspends-cruise-robotaxi-permit-safety" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an accident with a pedestrian</a>. The safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is also, in part, reflected in their crash/collision rate compared to regular passenger cars.</p><p>In 2022,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/disengagement-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1,552 AVs</a>&nbsp;driving&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/autonomous-vehicle-permit-holders-report-5-7-million-test-miles-in-california/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5.7 million miles</a>&nbsp;were reported registered for testing in California. These AVs were involved in 150 collisions throughout the year, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/autonomous-vehicle-collision-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Autonomous Vehicle Collision Reports</a>, which puts AVs at a crash rate of 96.7 per 1,000 vehicles and 26.3 per million vehicle miles. Statista calculations with data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.californiaaccidentattorneysblog.com/california-traffic-accident-statistics-for-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Highway Patrol</a>&nbsp;show that the overall rate of crashes per 1,000 vehicles in California stood at 7.0 in 2022, while the crash rate per&nbsp;<a href="https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/research-innovation-system-information/documents/hpms2022_prd_final.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">million miles traveled</a>&nbsp;came to 0.7. Looking at the same rates for all motor vehicles in the U.S., the&nbsp;<a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813560" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">crash rates</a>&nbsp;were 20.9 and 1.9, respectively.</p><p>The high figures for AVs don't necessarily translate to reckless driving behavior by autonomous cars. Crash reports for 2022 show that most collisions are minor and are often caused by other traffic participants trying to swerve around the AV, being distracted or impatient. Ten collision reports filed in 2022 included the participation of bicyclists, pedestrians or e-scooters, while the rest involved motorcycles, trucks or cars. AV makers are also held to a higher standard when reporting collisions.&nbsp;</p><p>The overall&nbsp;traffic crashes&nbsp;on public roads aggregated by the California Highway Patrol and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that form the basis for the calculations for the crash rates for all motor vehicles in California and in the United States are, on the other hand, estimates and only counted when police are involved. This makes it likely that the real collision figures are considerably higher.</p></description>

<p>In 2020, there were&nbsp;<strong>289 million</strong>&nbsp;vehicles in use in America, or about 18% of the global total.</p><p>With one of the largest car ownership rates worldwide, the number of U.S. cars on the road have more than doubled since the 1960s. But how does ownership compare to other countries, and who is seeing the fastest growth rates amid a rising global middle class?</p><p>This graphic shows vehicles per capita by country, based on data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (<a href="https://www.oica.net/category/vehicles-in-use/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OICA</a>).</p><h1><strong>Highest Car Ownership Rates Worldwide</strong></h1><p>Clinching top spot is&nbsp;<strong>New Zealand</strong>, a country known for its love of cars.</p><p>With nearly nine cars on the road to every 10 people, this figure is notably high considering that children make up about 20% of the population. The majority of cars are imported second hand from Japan thanks to a wave of deregulation in the 1980s along with the country being a major producer of right-hand drive cars.</p><p>The&nbsp;<strong>U.S.</strong>&nbsp;falls close behind, with a clear preference for trucks and SUVs. In fact, the Ford F-1 Series has been the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/best-selling-vehicles-in-america-in-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">best-selling vehicle</a>&nbsp;in America for 42 consecutive years.</p><p>In Europe,&nbsp;<strong>Poland</strong>&nbsp;has the highest number of vehicles per person, but one of the lowest share of electric vehicles (EVs).

On average, EVs account for 0.8% of passenger cars in the European Union.</p><p>Driven by an expanding middle class,&nbsp;<strong>Vietnam</strong>&nbsp;has seen the fastest growth in ownership. Between 2015 and 2020, the motorization rate grew by an astonishing 17% each year.

<p>Owning and operating a car involves both fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs, also known as ownership costs, do not change based on how much you drive and include insurance, license, registration, taxes, depreciation, and finance charges.

<p>A&nbsp;survey&nbsp;by Statista Consumer Insights has found that a key reason blocking potential&nbsp;electric vehicle (EV)&nbsp;converts in several European countries from buying an EV is the problem of poor electric infrastructure.

In&nbsp;Norway, which already has <a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/17344/electric-vehicle-share/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stronger EV infrastructure</a>, only eight percent of respondents said the same.&nbsp;</p><p>The share of respondents saying that limited infrastructure is preventing them from buying an electric car was also lower in several countries in eastern Europe (Poland 14 percent; Romania 13 percent) and southern Europe (Italy 15 percent; Greece 14 percent), although likely for different reasons.

<title>Chinese Consumers Focus on Four Sites for Online Shopping</title>

<p>A recent Statista Consumer Insights survey shows that Chinese consumers rely on domestic providers for online shopping. Chief among them is&nbsp;JD, where 61 percent of respondents have shopped at in the past 12 months, followed by Taobao (54 percent) and Tmall (51 percent), both of which are owned by Alibaba.</p><p>While Amazon is usually seen as the leading global e-commerce platform, it only plays a minor role in the People's Republic. 20 percent of respondents said they had ordered from the U.S. platform recently. Apart from Amazon, only two other foreign online shops feature among the 16 that survey respondents could choose from: Apple with ten percent and Sephora with eight percent.</p><p>In two cases, consumer preference also translates to successful economic performance. Taobao's and Tmall's parent company&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;generated a trailing twelve month revenue of $132.4 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/china/largest-chinese-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Companies Market Cap</a>. This performance netted it rank 53 out of the more than 9,000 global public companies listed on the site. JD fared even better, cracking the global top 50 with $154 billion, making it the Chinese tech company with the highest revenue, ranking 40th worldwide. So even with most of the products sold on Amazon manufactured in China&nbsp;according to a <a href="https://www.junglescout.com/resources/reports/amazon-seller-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent seller survey</a> by Amazon seller software Jungle Scout, the People's Republic's residents put more stock into&nbsp;homegrown alternatives.</p></description>

<title>Few Chinese Tech Companies Crack the Global Top 100</title>

<p>Jingdong Mall, or&nbsp;JD&nbsp;for short, is currently the publicly traded&nbsp;Chinese tech company&nbsp;with the highest trailing twelve month revenue at $154 billion, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/tech/largest-tech-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">data by Companies Market Cap</a>. Among more than 1,000 listed public companies in the tech sector, it ranks seventh ahead of Meta, its biggest competitor Alibaba and Nvidia. When broadening the scope to the 100 companies from all industries with the highest trailing twelve month revenue it comes in 40th. Four of the five Chinese tech firms listed in the overall top 100 are active in either the e-commerce or automotive sectors.</p><p>JD's competitor Alibaba takes third place out of the most successful tech companies originating from the People's Republic behind telecommunications firm China Mobile. SAIC Motor, best known in the Western hemisphere for its e-mobility-focused joint venture with General Motors, SAIC-Wuling-GM, and&nbsp;BYD, arguably the only EV maker able to challenge Tesla's global standing, round out the group of five Chinese tech companies present in the global top 100.</p><p>Other notable companies rank significantly lower in terms of revenue. While&nbsp;Tencent&nbsp;misses the top 100 group by six ranks, the Chinese spin-off of consumer electronics manufacturer Foxconn, Foxconn Industrial Internet, ranks 20th out of 319 publicly traded Chinese companies regardless of their industry with revenues of $74.6 billion and 129th in the world. Pinduoduo, which operates the low-cost online marketplace&nbsp;Temu, had trailing twelve month revenues of $47.6 billion, netting it rank 31 among all Chinese companies, rank 24 among all tech companies and rank 227 out of all 9,000 companies listed.&nbsp;</p><p>Notable firms not making the top list are e-commerce platform Meituan (overall rank 285, tech company rank 28), consumer electronics manufacturer Xiaomi (overall rank 289, tech company rank 29) and China's Google equivalent&nbsp;Baidu&nbsp;(overall rank 620, tech company rank 53).</p></description>

<title>Tesla and BYD Claim a Third of the Global BEV Market</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Tesla-and-BYD-Claim-a-Third-of-the-Global-BEV-Market-20240912124946.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>In the second quarter of 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/29774/tesla-gross-margin-and-deliveries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tesla's gross margin dropped to a new low</a>&nbsp;after declining every quarter since Q1 2022. As of May, the U.S. automaker and pioneer of getting&nbsp;battery electric vehicles&nbsp;(BEVs) to the mass market still retained the biggest market share among all BEVs sold worldwide in 2024, but only slightly.&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/707935/world-top-ev-oem-sales-2023q4/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In the past year</a>, Tesla's share had stood at 19 percent before dropping to 17 percent in&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/725811/global-plugin-car-sales-may2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first five months of 2024</a>, according to analyses by EV Volumes.&nbsp;</p><p>The competition is now hot on Tesla's heels. As our chart shows, the Chinese conglomerate BYD, which produces standalone electric vehicle batteries and associated electronics in addition to plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, increased its market share by 9 percentage points between 2021 and 2024. The BEV portfolio of legacy automakers like Volkswagen and Geely-Volvo stood at 7 and 8 percent, respectively, while SAIC, which includes the joint venture between the Chinese state-owned SAIC Motor and Wuling as well as General Motors, also had a market share of 7 percent as of the most recently available data.</p><p>Between 2023 and January to May 2024, BYD's share dropped by 1 percentage point, while Tesla's dropped by two. BYD's deliveries were only around 45,000 cars shy of Tesla's for this time period (or around 9,000 per month), illustrating how close the head-to-head race between these two companies has become. BYD is focused on providing BEVs to a more general consumer base, while Tesla's products have a higher price tag. This difference might be slightly mitigated through the increase of tariffs on Chinese-made cars from 25 to 100 percent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/14/joe-biden-tariff-chinese-made-electric-vehicles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">announced in May and coming into effect in early August</a>, a move that simultaneously seeks to boost domestic sales and will likely increase&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/4698/sino-us-trading-relationship/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tensions between the People's Republic and the United States</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ev-volumes.com/news/ev/global-ev-sales-for-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to EV Volumes</a>, 14 million electric vehicles were sold globally in 2023, 70 percent of which were BEVs.

<title>Snapchat’s answer to its sinking stock price is more ads</title>

<p>Snap, like Meta, relies on advertising for the overwhelming majority of its business, some 96% of its $4.6 billion in revenue was from ads last year, a figure that barely grew relative to 2022 — not ideal for a company that is still running at a heavy loss.</p><p>In a bid to grow its sales, Spiegel outlined two new experiments to get&nbsp;<em>more ads</em>&nbsp;in<em>&nbsp;more places</em>&nbsp;across the app. One change is the introduction of "Sponsored Snaps", which will now appear in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/3/24235341/snapchat-sponsored-ads-messages-chat-tab-with-friends" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">previously ad-free</a>&nbsp;chat inbox. While opening these sponsored messages is optional, the move signals that no part of the Snapchat experience is off-limits when it comes to monetization. Additionally, Snap is rolling out "Promoted Places", allowing businesses to pay for greater prominence on the Snap Map — a feature people use to see what their friends are up to and keep track of their favorite spots.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/tech/snapchats-answer-to-its-sinking-stock-price-is-more-ads/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Apple is spending $30 billion a year on R&D to find its next big thing</title>

<p>If the prospect of a&nbsp;<em>slightly</em>&nbsp;better iPhone, with a&nbsp;<em>slightly</em>&nbsp;better camera, that is&nbsp;<em>slightly</em>&nbsp;more expensive than you want it to be doesn’t have you jumping up with excitement, rest assured you’re not alone.

And with every passing year, hype for the latest iPhone seems to diminish.&nbsp;</p><p>Apple execs are, of course, acutely aware of its dependence on both the iPhone and its suppliers. Indeed, in recent years the company has made a number of significant investments in its own tech.

Interestingly, that’s not just more in&nbsp;<em>absolute</em>&nbsp;dollars, but also as a&nbsp;<em>proportion</em>&nbsp;of its revenue, reversing a roughly 10-year spell when the company cut its R&amp;D budget in relative terms.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/tech/apple-its-glowtime-iphone-event-finding-next-big-thing/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

Chinese chains have brought distinct concepts overseas, focusing on beverages more as well as opening stores with single-item menus.</p><p><a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/A-new-wave-of-Chinese-food-and-beverages-hit-Southeast-Asia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to reporting by Chinese media outlet Caixin</a>, market saturation and the known struggles of the Chinese economy are reasons for chains' international expansions picking up steam recently. But chain restaurant dominance is not only good for business. It also expands China's soft power - its perceived (pop) cultural appeal and strength overseas.</p><p>As of 2023, this Chinese soft power was mostly spread around the world in the form of soft serve (and bubble tea), which define the most popular Chinese food chain export, Mixue. At least 4,000 stores of the popular chain from Zhengzhou, Hunan province, existed in 11 countries outside of China at the end of the year, including in all of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Australia and even Myanmar, while also serving Hong Kong and Macau. Other Chinese bubble tea chains have followed suit with international pushes. The next-biggest is Chagee, which started its overseas expansion in 2019 - once year after Mixue - and now has at least 100 stores in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Bigger recent expansions include Heytea, which opened in London, Melbourne, New York, Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver last year; Shuyi Tealicious, which in 2023 expanded to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Spain after having previously focused on Canada, as well as Chabaidao that opened in Seoul this year. China's biggest homegrown coffee chain, Luckin, was long ensnared in a fraud scandal around inflated sales numbers. It only started international operations in 2023, expanding to Singapore, where it opened 30 locations.</p><p>Also on the menu of this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/5301/catering-industry-in-china/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chinese overseas expansion are restaurants</a>&nbsp;that specialize in certain dishes. Yang's Braised Chicken Rice, which has its single menu item right in the name, has since 2017 opened at least 100 locations in the U.S., Australia, Japan and Singapore. Tai Er, which serves fish and pickled cabbage stew, has expanded to four Asian countries and the U.S. since 2021 and like other brands on this list highlights artisanal ingredients and traditional Chinese preparation methods. Another popular segment for overseas success is hotpot. Here, Haidilao's presence had grown to 13 countries as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan between 2012 and 2023, while Zhangliang Malatang started overseas later, in 2019, and has opened in 15 countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.</p></description>

<p>GoPro became synonymous with action cameras, not unlike how brands like Post-it Notes and Band-Aids cornered the mindshare for their respective categories. That said, <strong>GoPro’s</strong>&nbsp;fortunes are fading fast. On Monday, the company announced a 15%&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/gopro-cut-15-workforce-restructuring-push-2024-08-19/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reduction</a>&nbsp;in its workforce as part of a broader restructuring effort to curb costs and navigate an increasingly challenging market.</p><p>A decade after its initial launch, GoPro hit its peak valuation of&nbsp;<strong>$12 billion</strong>. Today, the company is worth a tiny fraction of that, some&nbsp;<strong>$200 million</strong>, with its stock down 65% in the last 12 months. The latest quarterly results offered no respite, with revenue down 23% from the previous year and operating expenses climbing by 5%.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/business/iconic-action-camera-company-gopro-is-struggling/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Plant-Based Milk Is 'Low-Emission' Milk</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Plant-Based-Milk-Is-Low-Emission-Milk-20240822000507.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Celebrated annually on August 22,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.worldplantmilkday.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">World Plant Milk Day</a>&nbsp;was established in 2017 to raise awareness about the environmental and health benefits of choosing plant-based milk alternatives over dairy milk. It encourages people to explore the variety of plant-based options, such as almond, soy, oat and rice milk, which are easier digestible for many people, especially those who are lactose intolerant, and have a lower environmental impact. Ultimately, the day is part of a broader movement aiming to promote a shift towards more sustainable and compassionate food choices.&nbsp;</p><p>Cow's milk has a significant environmental footprint, primarily due to the methane produced by cows, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, dairy farming requires substantial land, water and energy resources, further adding to milk’s high carbon footprint. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2120584119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">research conducted by Michael Clark et al.</a> published in 2022, producing a liter of dairy milk results in about 3.7 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions.</p><p>Plant-based milk alternatives, such as almond, oat, soy and rice milk, have a much lower emissions footprint. According to Clark et al., these alternatives emit between 0.45 (oat milk) and 1.44 (rice milk) kilograms of CO2 equivalent per liter, making them far more sustainable. By choosing plant-based milks, consumers can significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation and a smaller environmental impact of food consumption.</p></description>

<title>Three Decades of Consumption-Based CO2 Emissions in Europe</title>

<p>This infographic visualizes 30 years of per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions in Europe, highlighting how consumption patterns have evolved across countries. Consumption-based emissions are calculated by adjusting a country's emissions for trade—subtracting those from exports and adding those from imports. Per capita emissions reflect the average emissions per person in a country or region, calculated by dividing total emissions by the population. Generally, Eastern European countries have lower per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions than Western Europe.</p><p>The infographic also includes data on whether each country is a net importer or exporter of CO2. If a country’s consumption-based emissions exceed its production emissions, it imports more CO2 than it exports; if they are lower, it exports more than it imports. These comparisons help determine whether countries have reduced emissions by simply offshoring carbon-intensive production.</p><p>Data: Global Carbon Budget (2023); Population based on various sources (2023) – with major processing by Our World in Data</p></description>

This excluded fossil fuels and minerals (which do not regenerate) but takes into account CO₂ emissions and the space for forests needed to offset them, similar to a net-zero scenario.</p><p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/country-overshoot-days/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">calculations</a>&nbsp;by the NGO Global Footprint Network, as of August 1, 2024, humanity will have already consumed all the renewable resources the planet can replenish in one year. Humanity is thus living "on credit", and it would take 1.75 Earths to meet the needs of the world's population. Compared to this global average, the inhabitants of a country like Germany or France have an ecological footprint almost twice as high and there would have to be between 3 and 3.3 Earths if everyone lived like inhabitants of these countries. These countries' local Overshoot Days are therefore on May 2 and May 7, respectively. The United States even needs five whole Earths and had an Overshoot Day of March 14 this year.</p><p>Like with any calculation of this size, there are some weaknesses to the analysis, namely that there are sometimes gaps in the data, especially for smaller countries, and that the calculation lags behind around 1.5 years. The Earth Overshoot Day(s) for 2024 were calculated using data from 2022, which is also the reason the days are sometimes updated after the fact. As the model treats all countries the same, there can sometimes be results that are nonsensical when transferring them back to reality on a local level due to the consumption of fish.&nbsp;<a href="https://table.media/climate/analyse/erdueberlastungstag-eine-statistik-die-viele-fragen-aufwirft/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As reporting from Table Media</a>&nbsp;shows, small nations like the Faeroe Islands, Iceland or Micronesia might not eat too much fish for their specific (island) environments, but when calculating a local Overshoot Day for them, their lifestyles would be rated as unsustainable because the world as a whole would in no way be able to consume as much fish. This is why Global Footprint Network does not publish these local calculations for the countries in question.</p></description>

<p>Have you ever stopped, looked at the rain, the raindrops falling and started thinking about the journey ahead of them? </p><p>Whether you're standing in the rain in Dijon, Madrid, London, Kyiv, Istanbul or Milano, these raindrops you see touching the ground are all beginning a long journey, sometimes taking years to achieve, that will take them in complete opposite directions, some will cross hundred, if not thousands of kilometers and reach the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea or the Great Atlantic Ocean... The great divide (here, the line between river catchments that go in opposite directions) runs across Europe, and with a little knowledge in history, one can easily see how this line makes sense and reflects history and society. </p><p>So, next time you're in Prague and take a bus to Vienna, or travel from Madrid to Barcelona, from Lyon to Paris or cross the Swiss-Italian border, just stop for a moment and take the time to reflect on this: you're entering a new hydrological realm, something great, something greater than us!</p></description>

<p>Did you think *all* rivers end up in the sea? Well, you might be suprised to learn about the existence of endorheic rivers. Endorheic rivers are basically landlocked catchment areas (hydrological networks) that like all other rivers are fed by rainwater or glacier water and form ramifications as rivers merge, but instead of reaching the ocean and creating a delta or a coastal lagoon... they evaporate hundred of kilometers away from the shores. They're mostly found far inland in arid, hot places where depressions occurs in the landscape. </p><p>This map will teach you a lot more about these geographical curiosities!</p></description>

<title>Heavy Monsoon Rains Hit India One Month Into Season</title>

<p>In late June and early July - around one month into the monsoon season -&nbsp;India&nbsp;has experienced a spike in rainfall volumes that led to massive floods.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw0y6wwn9yyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to the BBC,</a>&nbsp;millions are currently affected and more than 70 have died. In Northern India, rivers like the Brahmaputra and the Koshi overflowed, but schools also closed in parts of Mumbai after heavy rains. Neighboring countries Bangladesh and Nepal also counted several victims of the flooding.</p><p>As seen in<a href="https://www.imdpune.gov.in/swmonsoon24.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;data by the India Meteorological Department Pune</a>, mean daily rainfall in India started so surpass its long-term averages as of June 27. The trend continued until July 9 - the latest day on record at the time of writing - with spikes recorded on July 1 and July 6. Looking at the (pre-) monsoon season as a whole, monthly rain volumes actually stayed below average in all months except May. Between July 1 and July 9, the country has already seen a cumulative 95 millimeters per m² of rainfall, which would slightly surpass the July monthly average recorded for the years 1901-2019 if extrapolated. However, as heavy rains are likely not lasting the entire month of July, a below-average result is still a possibility. This is caused by some regions in India continuing to record a monsoon season (June-July) rain deficit. It also shows that concentrated heavy rains can have catastrophic consequences even if monthly or yearly average are not surpassed.&nbsp;Climate change&nbsp;has been proven to make these types of events&nbsp;<a href="https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/extreme-weather/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more potent as well as frequent.</a></p></description>

<title>The extent of the Antarctic Ozone Hole</title>

<p>The ozone hole over Antarctica was growing rapidly throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, as the data in the chart shows. At its largest, the ozone hole was more than 25 million square kilometers — slightly bigger than the size of Sub-Saharan Africa. The earth’s ozone layer is important as the ozone absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, and helps to keep Earth habitable.</p><p>Human emissions of ozone-depleting substances — mostly chlorofluorocarbons — were breaking down ozone high in the atmosphere. But in 1987, the world agreed to phase out these ozone-depleting substances by signing the Montreal Protocol. Since then, emissions have fallen close to zero. As a consequence, the ozone hole stopped growing in the late 1990s. It will take decades to recover fully, but it’s slowly starting to rebuild.</p></description>

Around 300,000 disembarked in the U.S. directly, while many more arrived via the inter-American slave trade from the Caribbean or Latin America. It is estimated that almost 4.5 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Caribbean and another 3.2 million in present-day Brazil.</p><p>Around 40 percent of Africans uprooted in slavery are believed to have come from Angola in Southern Africa, with another 30 percent who came from the Bay of Benin in West Africa.</p><p><a href="https://www.slavevoyages.org/voyage/database#maps" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The numbers taken from database project SlaveVoyages.org</a>&nbsp;indicate the number of Africans disembarking. Many more died on the way because of lack of food and water and horrid conditions aboard the slave ships. Others were uprooted in the trans-Saharan, the red sea and the Indian slave trade, which partly predated the trans-Atlantic slave trade.&nbsp;It is estimated that close to <a href="https://voxeu.org/article/understanding-long-run-effects-africa-s-slave-trades" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">20 million people</a> were forced to leave the African continent enslaved.&nbsp;By 1800, this had decimated the African population to half the size it would have been had slavery not occurred.</p></description>

Figures were sourced from WorldData.info, which were last updated in July 2024.</p><h1>The Origins of French</h1><p>Similar to Spanish, French evolved from Vulgar Latin, the everyday language of the Roman Empire. Over time, the dialect used in Île-de-France (Paris) became dominant, leading to the standardization of modern French by the 17th century.</p><p>French is spoken in many African countries due to France’s colonization efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries. Even after gaining independence, many of these nations retain French as an official language. For this reason, the number of French speakers in the world is predicted to keep climbing in future decades.</p></description>

<title>Where Confidence in the Police Is Highest & Lowest</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Where-Confidence-in-the-Police-Is-Highest--Lowest-20240917090702.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>How does confidence in law enforcement&nbsp;compare around the world?&nbsp;Gallup recently released its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gallup.com/analytics/356963/gallup-global-law-and-order-report.aspx?thank-you-report-form=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Law &amp; Order Index</a>, which is a composite score based on reported confidence in the police, feelings of personal security and incidences of theft or mugging in different countries over the past year.&nbsp;</p><p>Tajikistan had the highest level of confidence in law and order in this edition of the index with a score of 96, followed jointly by Finland, Iceland, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Norway and Vietnam with 92. The lowest confidence levels were seen in Liberia with a score of just 49, largely attributable to the high share of respondents who have been victims of crime and their lack of faith in the police. The Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone and The Gambia also found themselves at the bottom of the law and order confidence rankings.</p><p>According to the report: “In most economically developed countries and territories with strong rule of law, high majorities of residents say they feel safe walking alone in their areas at night. The same is true in countries where populations are under tighter state control. For example, these feelings were nearly universal in 2022 in countries such as&nbsp;Kuwait.”</p></description>

<title>📈 The Shale Revolution: Reshaping the U.S. Oil and Gas Industry</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi--The-Shale-Revolution-Reshaping-the-US-Oil-and-Gas-Industry-20240917194052.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Historically, U.S. crude oil production maintained steady growth until 1970, peaking at 9.6 million barrel per day (bpd). However, a downward trend ensued from the early 1970s, hitting a nadir of 5.0 million bpd in 2005. The emergence of shale oil extraction technology acted as a transformative force, reshaping the U.S. oil production landscape. Notably, shale oil output surged from roughly 0.5 million bpd in 2008 to 8.4 million bpd by 2023, constituting a substantial 65% of the total U.S. crude oil yield. This astounding expansion propelled the U.S. to eclipse both Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's foremost oil-producing nation, achieving an average daily output of 11.0 million barrels in 2018.</p><p>The landscape of dry natural gas production has witnessed distinct cycles over the decades. The initial phase peaked at 21.7 trillion cubic feet in 1973 but tapered to 16.1 trillion cubic feet by 1986. A second cycle emerged in 2008, with production surging to 37.9 trillion cubic feet in 2023. From 2009 to 2023, conventional U.S. natural gas extraction, excluding shale, experienced a 50% reduction. The share of shale gas in U.S. natural gas production increased from around 6% in the early 2000s to 78% in 2023.</p><p>The shale revolution's impact on the U.S. economy and energy markets has been profound. The increased domestic production of oil and natural gas has reduced the country's dependence on foreign energy imports, enhancing energy security. Additionally, the abundance of shale gas has led to lower natural gas prices, benefiting consumers and industries alike. The chemical industry, in particular, has seen a renaissance due to the availability of cheap natural gas, which is a key feedstock for chemical production.</p><p>Moreover, the shale boom has spurred job creation and economic growth in regions rich in shale resources, such as Texas, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. These areas have seen significant investments in infrastructure, including pipelines, storage facilities, and export terminals, further integrating the U.S. into the global energy market. The ability to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) has positioned the U.S. as a major player in the global LNG market, offering an alternative to traditional suppliers like Russia and Qatar.</p><p>However, the shale revolution has not been without its challenges and controversies. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process, which involves injecting high-pressure fluid into shale formations to release oil and gas. Critics argue that fracking can contaminate groundwater, induce seismic activity, and contribute to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. In response, the industry and regulators have been working to implement stricter safety and environmental standards to mitigate these risks.</p><p>Despite these concerns, the shale revolution has undeniably transformed the U.S. energy landscape. The surge in domestic oil and gas production has reshaped global energy dynamics, reducing the influence of traditional oil-producing nations and contributing to a more diverse and competitive energy market. As technology continues to advance, the potential for further increases in shale oil and gas production remains strong, promising continued benefits for the U.S. economy and energy security.</p><p>In conclusion, the shale revolution has marked a new era for the U.S. oil and gas industry. By leveraging innovative extraction technologies, the U.S. has not only revitalized its energy sector but also established itself as a dominant force in the global energy market. The ongoing advancements and adaptations in shale technology will likely sustain this momentum, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of the energy industry for years to come.</p></description>

<p>China has one of the world's fastest-growing ageing populations. The median age of Chinese nationals is expected to rise to 52.1 years in 2050, up from 39.1 in 2023. In 2019, China had 254 million people aged 60 or older. By 2040, this number is expected to rise to 402 million, accounting for approximately 28% of the population (WHO).</p><p><em>The data is taken from United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2024).&nbsp;World Population Prospects 2024, Online Edition.</em></p></description>

<p>Power sector investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is projected to exceed USD&nbsp;500&nbsp;billion in 2024, surpassing all other generation sources combined. Though growth may moderate slightly in 2024 due to falling PV module prices, solar remains central to the power sector’s transformation. In 2023, each dollar invested in wind and solar PV yielded 2.5 times more energy output than a dollar spent on the same technologies a decade prior.</p><p><em>Read more about global energy investment </em><a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-investment-2024/overview-and-key-findings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Iran Executed at Least 853 People in 2023</title>

<p>At least 853 people were executed in&nbsp;Iran&nbsp;in 2023, according to a<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/7869/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;report</a>&nbsp;by human rights advocacy group Amnesty International. This is up 170 percent from 2021, when at least 314 people were killed, and marks the highest number of deaths recorded in eight years. These figures are likely low estimates due to the Iranian authorities not publishing such data publicly.</p><p>According to Amnesty, the death penalty has historically been used as a tool to exert control over the population, stating that the uptick in executions since the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising of 2022, is “consistent with previously recorded patterns in Iran following periods of unrest and political dissent.”&nbsp;</p><p>While over half of the executions in 2023 were carried out for drug-related offenses, with members of the oppressed Baluchi ethnic minority disproportionately impacted, the report states that nine people have also been executed in direct connection to the 2022 protests. Amnesty reports that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/8077/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a further eight individuals are under sentence of death</a>&nbsp;in relation to the uprising.&nbsp;</p><p>According to another source,&nbsp;<a href="https://iranhr.net/en/articles/6896/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iran Human Rights</a>, at least 402 people have been executed in Iran in 2024 so far, with at least 100 recorded deaths in August alone. The group says that 50 of these were under charges of murder and 46 executions for drugs, with numbers having seen hikes after the presidential elections.</p></description>

<p>Lithium is the core component of the most popular battery technology: lithium-ion batteries. This means electric vehicles and stationary batteries are highly reliant on this material.</p><p>The second most popular technology — lithium iron phosphate (LFP) — also uses lithium, so the most likely alternative will still need large amounts of lithium.</p><p>Some manufacturers are developing new chemistries, such as sodium-ion, which don’t use lithium.

<p>A recent Statista Consumer Insights survey shows that Chinese consumers rely on domestic providers for online shopping. Chief among them is&nbsp;JD, where 61 percent of respondents have shopped at in the past 12 months, followed by Taobao (54 percent) and Tmall (51 percent), both of which are owned by Alibaba.</p><p>While Amazon is usually seen as the leading global e-commerce platform, it only plays a minor role in the People's Republic. 20 percent of respondents said they had ordered from the U.S. platform recently. Apart from Amazon, only two other foreign online shops feature among the 16 that survey respondents could choose from: Apple with ten percent and Sephora with eight percent.</p><p>In two cases, consumer preference also translates to successful economic performance. Taobao's and Tmall's parent company&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;generated a trailing twelve month revenue of $132.4 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/china/largest-chinese-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Companies Market Cap</a>. This performance netted it rank 53 out of the more than 9,000 global public companies listed on the site. JD fared even better, cracking the global top 50 with $154 billion, making it the Chinese tech company with the highest revenue, ranking 40th worldwide. So even with most of the products sold on Amazon manufactured in China&nbsp;according to a <a href="https://www.junglescout.com/resources/reports/amazon-seller-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent seller survey</a> by Amazon seller software Jungle Scout, the People's Republic's residents put more stock into&nbsp;homegrown alternatives.</p></description>

<title>Germany Invests Less in Public Infrastructure than Other Countries</title>

<p>Productivity in Germany has been dragged down by inadequate investment in public infrastructure. Public investment declined in the 1990s and, since then, has barely been enough to&nbsp;<a href="https://books.openbookpublishers.com/10.11647/obp.0222/ch3.xhtml" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">offset depreciation</a>. This puts Germany near the bottom of advanced economies in public investment. Money that has been budgeted for investment is routinely underspent, often because of staff shortages in municipalities.</p><p>To boost public investment, Germany could expand municipalities’ planning capacity through consulting services programs like Partnerschaft Deutschland. Germany could increase financing for public investment by reforming other expenditures, mobilizing more revenue, or adjusting the debt brake limits on federal borrowing, as explained in our most recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/CR/Issues/2023/07/14/Germany-2023-Article-IV-Consultation-Press-Release-Staff-Report-and-Statement-by-the-536350" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">staff report</a>. The debt brake could be eased by around 1 percent of GDP while still allowing public debt to decline as a share of GDP.</p><p>Productivity could also be enhanced by cutting red tape, which is a barrier to both investment and starting new businesses. For example, it takes about&nbsp;<a href="https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/0e9db9fa-d653-11ec-a95f-01aa75ed71a1/language-en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">five to six years</a>&nbsp;to get permission to build an onshore wind farm. And it takes&nbsp;<a href="https://www.enterprisesurveys.org/en/data/exploreeconomies/2021/germany" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">120 days</a>&nbsp;to obtain a business license, more than double the OECD average.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2024/03/27/germanys-real-challenges-are-aging-underinvestment-and-too-much-red-tape" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>How Many Motor Vehicles per Capita Does the U.S. Have?</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-How-Many-Motor-Vehicles-per-Capita-Does-the-US-Have-20240907111045.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Even with&nbsp;<a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=true&amp;year_high_desc=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an urbanization rate of more than 80 percent</a>, the United States is still seen as a country that has to rely on transportation via passenger vehicles due to the varying quality of its public transit and long-distance train and bus network. However, the idea that U.S. residents own more than one car is, on average, untrue.</p><p>Statista calculations based on data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2022/state/totals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Census Bureau</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;show that only nine U.S. states have a motorization rate, meaning in this case the&nbsp;number of motor vehicles&nbsp;per capita, at or above 1.0. Since the data doesn't disaggregate the pool of motor vehicles by private and commercial use, a higher density of, for example, agricultural businesses or companies relying on larger vehicle fleets might skew the results. Another factor to consider is that not every motor vehicle is classified as a car. This caveat notwithstanding, no state comes close to Montana, with an average of two motor vehicles per capita.</p><p>On the low end of the spectrum are&nbsp;<a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/12/09/what-largest-state-us-size-states-land-area/8083288001/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">some of the country's smallest states</a>&nbsp;like Delaware, the District of Columbia and New Jersey, which are easier to get around in if you don't own a car. One of the exceptions from this rule with a motorization rate of 0.46 is New York, which ranks 30th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of land size. However, it exhibits a&nbsp;high urbanization rate&nbsp;and, for example, a well-connected public transit system in&nbsp;<a href="https://data.census.gov/profile/New_York_city,_New_York?g=160XX00US3651000" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York City</a>.

<title>The State of Autonomous Vehicle Safety</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-State-of-Autonomous-Vehicle-Safety-20240906122419.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>The inclusion of assisted driving, which aids the driver of a car with braking or steering in specific situations, has been the norm for newly manufactured automobiles for a while now.&nbsp;Fully autonomous driving, however, is still not considered ready for the mass market, even though the development and deployment of robotaxis in select cities in China and the U.S. have been advancing at a steady pace.&nbsp;</p><p>One major roadblock often brought up by critics is safety issues, which led to the suspension of the driverless testing permits for General Motors' AV subsidiary Cruise in San Francisco in 2023 after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/24/23930629/california-dmv-suspends-cruise-robotaxi-permit-safety" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an accident with a pedestrian</a>. The safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is also, in part, reflected in their crash/collision rate compared to regular passenger cars.</p><p>In 2022,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/disengagement-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1,552 AVs</a>&nbsp;driving&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/autonomous-vehicle-permit-holders-report-5-7-million-test-miles-in-california/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5.7 million miles</a>&nbsp;were reported registered for testing in California. These AVs were involved in 150 collisions throughout the year, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/autonomous-vehicle-collision-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Autonomous Vehicle Collision Reports</a>, which puts AVs at a crash rate of 96.7 per 1,000 vehicles and 26.3 per million vehicle miles. Statista calculations with data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.californiaaccidentattorneysblog.com/california-traffic-accident-statistics-for-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Highway Patrol</a>&nbsp;show that the overall rate of crashes per 1,000 vehicles in California stood at 7.0 in 2022, while the crash rate per&nbsp;<a href="https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/research-innovation-system-information/documents/hpms2022_prd_final.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">million miles traveled</a>&nbsp;came to 0.7. Looking at the same rates for all motor vehicles in the U.S., the&nbsp;<a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813560" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">crash rates</a>&nbsp;were 20.9 and 1.9, respectively.</p><p>The high figures for AVs don't necessarily translate to reckless driving behavior by autonomous cars. Crash reports for 2022 show that most collisions are minor and are often caused by other traffic participants trying to swerve around the AV, being distracted or impatient. Ten collision reports filed in 2022 included the participation of bicyclists, pedestrians or e-scooters, while the rest involved motorcycles, trucks or cars. AV makers are also held to a higher standard when reporting collisions.&nbsp;</p><p>The overall&nbsp;traffic crashes&nbsp;on public roads aggregated by the California Highway Patrol and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that form the basis for the calculations for the crash rates for all motor vehicles in California and in the United States are, on the other hand, estimates and only counted when police are involved. This makes it likely that the real collision figures are considerably higher.</p></description>

<p>In 2020, there were&nbsp;<strong>289 million</strong>&nbsp;vehicles in use in America, or about 18% of the global total.</p><p>With one of the largest car ownership rates worldwide, the number of U.S. cars on the road have more than doubled since the 1960s. But how does ownership compare to other countries, and who is seeing the fastest growth rates amid a rising global middle class?</p><p>This graphic shows vehicles per capita by country, based on data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (<a href="https://www.oica.net/category/vehicles-in-use/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OICA</a>).</p><h1><strong>Highest Car Ownership Rates Worldwide</strong></h1><p>Clinching top spot is&nbsp;<strong>New Zealand</strong>, a country known for its love of cars.</p><p>With nearly nine cars on the road to every 10 people, this figure is notably high considering that children make up about 20% of the population. The majority of cars are imported second hand from Japan thanks to a wave of deregulation in the 1980s along with the country being a major producer of right-hand drive cars.</p><p>The&nbsp;<strong>U.S.</strong>&nbsp;falls close behind, with a clear preference for trucks and SUVs. In fact, the Ford F-1 Series has been the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/best-selling-vehicles-in-america-in-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">best-selling vehicle</a>&nbsp;in America for 42 consecutive years.</p><p>In Europe,&nbsp;<strong>Poland</strong>&nbsp;has the highest number of vehicles per person, but one of the lowest share of electric vehicles (EVs). While EVs make up nearly 16% of all cars in top-ranking country Norway, they comprise 0.1% in Poland. On average, EVs account for 0.8% of passenger cars in the European Union.</p><p>Driven by an expanding middle class,&nbsp;<strong>Vietnam</strong>&nbsp;has seen the fastest growth in ownership. Between 2015 and 2020, the motorization rate grew by an astonishing 17% each year. Additionally,&nbsp;<strong>China</strong>&nbsp;witnessed 14% growth while&nbsp;<strong>India’s</strong>&nbsp;vehicles per 1,000 people increased 10% annually over the period.</p></description>

<title>Where Is Infrastructure A Roadblock To Buying EVs?</title>

<p>A&nbsp;survey&nbsp;by Statista Consumer Insights has found that a key reason blocking potential&nbsp;electric vehicle (EV)&nbsp;converts in several European countries from buying an EV is the problem of poor electric infrastructure. In several northern and western European countries, upwards of one in five people said that this was the case. In&nbsp;Norway, which already has <a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/17344/electric-vehicle-share/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stronger EV infrastructure</a>, only eight percent of respondents said the same.&nbsp;</p><p>The share of respondents saying that limited infrastructure is preventing them from buying an electric car was also lower in several countries in eastern Europe (Poland 14 percent; Romania 13 percent) and southern Europe (Italy 15 percent; Greece 14 percent), although likely for different reasons. Meanwhile, in both the United States and in China, only 13 percent of respondents said the same.</p></description>

Apart from Amazon, only two other foreign online shops feature among the 16 that survey respondents could choose from: Apple with ten percent and Sephora with eight percent.</p><p>In two cases, consumer preference also translates to successful economic performance. Taobao's and Tmall's parent company&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;generated a trailing twelve month revenue of $132.4 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/china/largest-chinese-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Companies Market Cap</a>. This performance netted it rank 53 out of the more than 9,000 global public companies listed on the site. JD fared even better, cracking the global top 50 with $154 billion, making it the Chinese tech company with the highest revenue, ranking 40th worldwide. So even with most of the products sold on Amazon manufactured in China&nbsp;according to a <a href="https://www.junglescout.com/resources/reports/amazon-seller-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent seller survey</a> by Amazon seller software Jungle Scout, the People's Republic's residents put more stock into&nbsp;homegrown alternatives.</p></description>

<title>Few Chinese Tech Companies Crack the Global Top 100</title>

<p>Jingdong Mall, or&nbsp;JD&nbsp;for short, is currently the publicly traded&nbsp;Chinese tech company&nbsp;with the highest trailing twelve month revenue at $154 billion, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/tech/largest-tech-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">data by Companies Market Cap</a>. Among more than 1,000 listed public companies in the tech sector, it ranks seventh ahead of Meta, its biggest competitor Alibaba and Nvidia. When broadening the scope to the 100 companies from all industries with the highest trailing twelve month revenue it comes in 40th. Four of the five Chinese tech firms listed in the overall top 100 are active in either the e-commerce or automotive sectors.</p><p>JD's competitor Alibaba takes third place out of the most successful tech companies originating from the People's Republic behind telecommunications firm China Mobile. SAIC Motor, best known in the Western hemisphere for its e-mobility-focused joint venture with General Motors, SAIC-Wuling-GM, and&nbsp;BYD, arguably the only EV maker able to challenge Tesla's global standing, round out the group of five Chinese tech companies present in the global top 100.</p><p>Other notable companies rank significantly lower in terms of revenue. While&nbsp;Tencent&nbsp;misses the top 100 group by six ranks, the Chinese spin-off of consumer electronics manufacturer Foxconn, Foxconn Industrial Internet, ranks 20th out of 319 publicly traded Chinese companies regardless of their industry with revenues of $74.6 billion and 129th in the world. Pinduoduo, which operates the low-cost online marketplace&nbsp;Temu, had trailing twelve month revenues of $47.6 billion, netting it rank 31 among all Chinese companies, rank 24 among all tech companies and rank 227 out of all 9,000 companies listed.&nbsp;</p><p>Notable firms not making the top list are e-commerce platform Meituan (overall rank 285, tech company rank 28), consumer electronics manufacturer Xiaomi (overall rank 289, tech company rank 29) and China's Google equivalent&nbsp;Baidu&nbsp;(overall rank 620, tech company rank 53).</p></description>

<h1>Campbell’s is axing “soup” from its name</h1><p>After more than 100 years, a few iconic pieces of art, and well over 20 billion cans of tomato soup, Campbell’s has decided it’s high time for a rebrand.

<title>Tesla and BYD Claim a Third of the Global BEV Market</title>

<p>In the second quarter of 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/29774/tesla-gross-margin-and-deliveries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tesla's gross margin dropped to a new low</a>&nbsp;after declining every quarter since Q1 2022. As of May, the U.S. automaker and pioneer of getting&nbsp;battery electric vehicles&nbsp;(BEVs) to the mass market still retained the biggest market share among all BEVs sold worldwide in 2024, but only slightly.&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/707935/world-top-ev-oem-sales-2023q4/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In the past year</a>, Tesla's share had stood at 19 percent before dropping to 17 percent in&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/725811/global-plugin-car-sales-may2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first five months of 2024</a>, according to analyses by EV Volumes.&nbsp;</p><p>The competition is now hot on Tesla's heels. As our chart shows, the Chinese conglomerate BYD, which produces standalone electric vehicle batteries and associated electronics in addition to plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, increased its market share by 9 percentage points between 2021 and 2024. The BEV portfolio of legacy automakers like Volkswagen and Geely-Volvo stood at 7 and 8 percent, respectively, while SAIC, which includes the joint venture between the Chinese state-owned SAIC Motor and Wuling as well as General Motors, also had a market share of 7 percent as of the most recently available data.</p><p>Between 2023 and January to May 2024, BYD's share dropped by 1 percentage point, while Tesla's dropped by two. BYD's deliveries were only around 45,000 cars shy of Tesla's for this time period (or around 9,000 per month), illustrating how close the head-to-head race between these two companies has become. BYD is focused on providing BEVs to a more general consumer base, while Tesla's products have a higher price tag. This difference might be slightly mitigated through the increase of tariffs on Chinese-made cars from 25 to 100 percent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/14/joe-biden-tariff-chinese-made-electric-vehicles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">announced in May and coming into effect in early August</a>, a move that simultaneously seeks to boost domestic sales and will likely increase&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/4698/sino-us-trading-relationship/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tensions between the People's Republic and the United States</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ev-volumes.com/news/ev/global-ev-sales-for-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to EV Volumes</a>, 14 million electric vehicles were sold globally in 2023, 70 percent of which were BEVs. However, 84 percent of all light vehicles sold still ran on traditional combustion engines or other non-electric fuel sources. The biggest exporter and market for both hybrids and BEVs was China with shares of 65 and 59 percent, respectively.</p></description>

<title>Snapchat’s answer to its sinking stock price is more ads</title>

<p>Snap, like Meta, relies on advertising for the overwhelming majority of its business, some 96% of its $4.6 billion in revenue was from ads last year, a figure that barely grew relative to 2022 — not ideal for a company that is still running at a heavy loss.</p><p>In a bid to grow its sales, Spiegel outlined two new experiments to get&nbsp;<em>more ads</em>&nbsp;in<em>&nbsp;more places</em>&nbsp;across the app. One change is the introduction of "Sponsored Snaps", which will now appear in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/3/24235341/snapchat-sponsored-ads-messages-chat-tab-with-friends" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">previously ad-free</a>&nbsp;chat inbox. While opening these sponsored messages is optional, the move signals that no part of the Snapchat experience is off-limits when it comes to monetization. Additionally, Snap is rolling out "Promoted Places", allowing businesses to pay for greater prominence on the Snap Map — a feature people use to see what their friends are up to and keep track of their favorite spots.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/tech/snapchats-answer-to-its-sinking-stock-price-is-more-ads/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>The Chinese Food Chains Expanding Internationally</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-Chinese-Food-Chains-Expanding-Internationally-20240826123412.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>It has been normal for decades to see branches of U.S. restaurant and fast food chains all over the world, but now another major global power is expanding overseas in the food sphere:&nbsp;China. While a lot of the initial expansion has focused on other Asian nations, popular countries to launch new food or beverage locations in also include the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Chinese chains have brought distinct concepts overseas, focusing on beverages more as well as opening stores with single-item menus.</p><p><a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/A-new-wave-of-Chinese-food-and-beverages-hit-Southeast-Asia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to reporting by Chinese media outlet Caixin</a>, market saturation and the known struggles of the Chinese economy are reasons for chains' international expansions picking up steam recently. But chain restaurant dominance is not only good for business. It also expands China's soft power - its perceived (pop) cultural appeal and strength overseas.</p><p>As of 2023, this Chinese soft power was mostly spread around the world in the form of soft serve (and bubble tea), which define the most popular Chinese food chain export, Mixue. At least 4,000 stores of the popular chain from Zhengzhou, Hunan province, existed in 11 countries outside of China at the end of the year, including in all of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Australia and even Myanmar, while also serving Hong Kong and Macau. Other Chinese bubble tea chains have followed suit with international pushes. The next-biggest is Chagee, which started its overseas expansion in 2019 - once year after Mixue - and now has at least 100 stores in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Bigger recent expansions include Heytea, which opened in London, Melbourne, New York, Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver last year; Shuyi Tealicious, which in 2023 expanded to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Spain after having previously focused on Canada, as well as Chabaidao that opened in Seoul this year. China's biggest homegrown coffee chain, Luckin, was long ensnared in a fraud scandal around inflated sales numbers. It only started international operations in 2023, expanding to Singapore, where it opened 30 locations.</p><p>Also on the menu of this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/5301/catering-industry-in-china/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chinese overseas expansion are restaurants</a>&nbsp;that specialize in certain dishes. Yang's Braised Chicken Rice, which has its single menu item right in the name, has since 2017 opened at least 100 locations in the U.S., Australia, Japan and Singapore. Tai Er, which serves fish and pickled cabbage stew, has expanded to four Asian countries and the U.S. since 2021 and like other brands on this list highlights artisanal ingredients and traditional Chinese preparation methods. Another popular segment for overseas success is hotpot. Here, Haidilao's presence had grown to 13 countries as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan between 2012 and 2023, while Zhangliang Malatang started overseas later, in 2019, and has opened in 15 countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.</p></description>

<p>GoPro became synonymous with action cameras, not unlike how brands like Post-it Notes and Band-Aids cornered the mindshare for their respective categories.

Today, the company is worth a tiny fraction of that, some&nbsp;<strong>$200 million</strong>, with its stock down 65% in the last 12 months. The latest quarterly results offered no respite, with revenue down 23% from the previous year and operating expenses climbing by 5%.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/business/iconic-action-camera-company-gopro-is-struggling/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

The dark part of the trees represents forest loss from non-fire related causes, and the bright portion is forest lost due to fire.</p><h1>Key Takeaway</h1><p>While forest fire damage varies each year, there has been a clear upward trend since 2001. For example, 2020, 2021, and 2023 were the fourth, third, and first worst years for forest fires globally.</p><p>Another fact: the 11.9M hectares burned in 2023 is roughly equal to the size of Nicaragua.</p><h1>Methodology</h1><p>Researchers at the University of Maryland used Landsat satellite imagery to map the area of tree cover lost to stand-replacing forest fires (fires that kill all or most of the living overstory in a forest) annually from 2001 to 2023.</p></description>

<title>Plant-Based Milk Is 'Low-Emission' Milk</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Plant-Based-Milk-Is-Low-Emission-Milk-20240822000507.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Celebrated annually on August 22,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.worldplantmilkday.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">World Plant Milk Day</a>&nbsp;was established in 2017 to raise awareness about the environmental and health benefits of choosing plant-based milk alternatives over dairy milk. It encourages people to explore the variety of plant-based options, such as almond, soy, oat and rice milk, which are easier digestible for many people, especially those who are lactose intolerant, and have a lower environmental impact. Ultimately, the day is part of a broader movement aiming to promote a shift towards more sustainable and compassionate food choices.&nbsp;</p><p>Cow's milk has a significant environmental footprint, primarily due to the methane produced by cows, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, dairy farming requires substantial land, water and energy resources, further adding to milk’s high carbon footprint. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2120584119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">research conducted by Michael Clark et al.</a> published in 2022, producing a liter of dairy milk results in about 3.7 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions.</p><p>Plant-based milk alternatives, such as almond, oat, soy and rice milk, have a much lower emissions footprint. According to Clark et al., these alternatives emit between 0.45 (oat milk) and 1.44 (rice milk) kilograms of CO2 equivalent per liter, making them far more sustainable. By choosing plant-based milks, consumers can significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation and a smaller environmental impact of food consumption.</p></description>

<title>Three Decades of Consumption-Based CO2 Emissions in Europe</title>

<p>This infographic visualizes 30 years of per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions in Europe, highlighting how consumption patterns have evolved across countries. Consumption-based emissions are calculated by adjusting a country's emissions for trade—subtracting those from exports and adding those from imports. Per capita emissions reflect the average emissions per person in a country or region, calculated by dividing total emissions by the population. Generally, Eastern European countries have lower per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions than Western Europe.</p><p>The infographic also includes data on whether each country is a net importer or exporter of CO2. If a country’s consumption-based emissions exceed its production emissions, it imports more CO2 than it exports; if they are lower, it exports more than it imports. These comparisons help determine whether countries have reduced emissions by simply offshoring carbon-intensive production.</p><p>Data: Global Carbon Budget (2023); Population based on various sources (2023) – with major processing by Our World in Data</p></description>

<title>The Countries With No Earth Overshoot Day</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-Countries-With-No-Earth-Overshoot-Day-20240802204354.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>If everyone lived like the inhabitants of the countries highlighted on our map, one Earth would suffice to meet the needs of humanity. As for the lifestyles of the 140 or so remaining countries, the&nbsp;ecological footprint&nbsp;exceeds the planet's biocapacity, i.e. all the natural resources the Earth can regenerate (and the waste it can absorb) in the space of a year. This excluded fossil fuels and minerals (which do not regenerate) but takes into account CO₂ emissions and the space for forests needed to offset them, similar to a net-zero scenario.</p><p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/country-overshoot-days/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">calculations</a>&nbsp;by the NGO Global Footprint Network, as of August 1, 2024, humanity will have already consumed all the renewable resources the planet can replenish in one year. Humanity is thus living "on credit", and it would take 1.75 Earths to meet the needs of the world's population. Compared to this global average, the inhabitants of a country like Germany or France have an ecological footprint almost twice as high and there would have to be between 3 and 3.3 Earths if everyone lived like inhabitants of these countries. These countries' local Overshoot Days are therefore on May 2 and May 7, respectively. The United States even needs five whole Earths and had an Overshoot Day of March 14 this year.</p><p>Like with any calculation of this size, there are some weaknesses to the analysis, namely that there are sometimes gaps in the data, especially for smaller countries, and that the calculation lags behind around 1.5 years. The Earth Overshoot Day(s) for 2024 were calculated using data from 2022, which is also the reason the days are sometimes updated after the fact. As the model treats all countries the same, there can sometimes be results that are nonsensical when transferring them back to reality on a local level due to the consumption of fish.&nbsp;<a href="https://table.media/climate/analyse/erdueberlastungstag-eine-statistik-die-viele-fragen-aufwirft/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As reporting from Table Media</a>&nbsp;shows, small nations like the Faeroe Islands, Iceland or Micronesia might not eat too much fish for their specific (island) environments, but when calculating a local Overshoot Day for them, their lifestyles would be rated as unsustainable because the world as a whole would in no way be able to consume as much fish. This is why Global Footprint Network does not publish these local calculations for the countries in question.</p></description>

<p>Have you ever stopped, looked at the rain, the raindrops falling and started thinking about the journey ahead of them? </p><p>Whether you're standing in the rain in Dijon, Madrid, London, Kyiv, Istanbul or Milano, these raindrops you see touching the ground are all beginning a long journey, sometimes taking years to achieve, that will take them in complete opposite directions, some will cross hundred, if not thousands of kilometers and reach the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea or the Great Atlantic Ocean... The great divide (here, the line between river catchments that go in opposite directions) runs across Europe, and with a little knowledge in history, one can easily see how this line makes sense and reflects history and society. </p><p>So, next time you're in Prague and take a bus to Vienna, or travel from Madrid to Barcelona, from Lyon to Paris or cross the Swiss-Italian border, just stop for a moment and take the time to reflect on this: you're entering a new hydrological realm, something great, something greater than us!</p></description>

<p>Did you think *all* rivers end up in the sea? Well, you might be suprised to learn about the existence of endorheic rivers. Endorheic rivers are basically landlocked catchment areas (hydrological networks) that like all other rivers are fed by rainwater or glacier water and form ramifications as rivers merge, but instead of reaching the ocean and creating a delta or a coastal lagoon... they evaporate hundred of kilometers away from the shores. They're mostly found far inland in arid, hot places where depressions occurs in the landscape. </p><p>This map will teach you a lot more about these geographical curiosities!</p></description>

<title>Heavy Monsoon Rains Hit India One Month Into Season</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Heavy-Monsoon-Rains-Hit-India-One-Month-Into-Season-20240710221229.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>In late June and early July - around one month into the monsoon season -&nbsp;India&nbsp;has experienced a spike in rainfall volumes that led to massive floods.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw0y6wwn9yyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to the BBC,</a>&nbsp;millions are currently affected and more than 70 have died. In Northern India, rivers like the Brahmaputra and the Koshi overflowed, but schools also closed in parts of Mumbai after heavy rains. Neighboring countries Bangladesh and Nepal also counted several victims of the flooding.</p><p>As seen in<a href="https://www.imdpune.gov.in/swmonsoon24.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;data by the India Meteorological Department Pune</a>, mean daily rainfall in India started so surpass its long-term averages as of June 27. The trend continued until July 9 - the latest day on record at the time of writing - with spikes recorded on July 1 and July 6. Looking at the (pre-) monsoon season as a whole, monthly rain volumes actually stayed below average in all months except May. Between July 1 and July 9, the country has already seen a cumulative 95 millimeters per m² of rainfall, which would slightly surpass the July monthly average recorded for the years 1901-2019 if extrapolated. However, as heavy rains are likely not lasting the entire month of July, a below-average result is still a possibility. This is caused by some regions in India continuing to record a monsoon season (June-July) rain deficit. It also shows that concentrated heavy rains can have catastrophic consequences even if monthly or yearly average are not surpassed.&nbsp;Climate change&nbsp;has been proven to make these types of events&nbsp;<a href="https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/extreme-weather/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more potent as well as frequent.</a></p></description>

<title>The extent of the Antarctic Ozone Hole</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-extent-of-the-Antarctic-Ozone-Hole-20240707112419.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>The ozone hole over Antarctica was growing rapidly throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, as the data in the chart shows. At its largest, the ozone hole was more than 25 million square kilometers — slightly bigger than the size of Sub-Saharan Africa. The earth’s ozone layer is important as the ozone absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, and helps to keep Earth habitable.</p><p>Human emissions of ozone-depleting substances — mostly chlorofluorocarbons — were breaking down ozone high in the atmosphere. But in 1987, the world agreed to phase out these ozone-depleting substances by signing the Montreal Protocol. Since then, emissions have fallen close to zero. As a consequence, the ozone hole stopped growing in the late 1990s. It will take decades to recover fully, but it’s slowly starting to rebuild.</p></description>

Around 300,000 disembarked in the U.S. directly, while many more arrived via the inter-American slave trade from the Caribbean or Latin America. It is estimated that almost 4.5 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Caribbean and another 3.2 million in present-day Brazil.</p><p>Around 40 percent of Africans uprooted in slavery are believed to have come from Angola in Southern Africa, with another 30 percent who came from the Bay of Benin in West Africa.</p><p><a href="https://www.slavevoyages.org/voyage/database#maps" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The numbers taken from database project SlaveVoyages.org</a>&nbsp;indicate the number of Africans disembarking. Many more died on the way because of lack of food and water and horrid conditions aboard the slave ships. Others were uprooted in the trans-Saharan, the red sea and the Indian slave trade, which partly predated the trans-Atlantic slave trade.&nbsp;It is estimated that close to <a href="https://voxeu.org/article/understanding-long-run-effects-africa-s-slave-trades" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">20 million people</a> were forced to leave the African continent enslaved.&nbsp;By 1800, this had decimated the African population to half the size it would have been had slavery not occurred.</p></description>

Over time, the dialect used in Île-de-France (Paris) became dominant, leading to the standardization of modern French by the 17th century.</p><p>French is spoken in many African countries due to France’s colonization efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries. Even after gaining independence, many of these nations retain French as an official language. For this reason, the number of French speakers in the world is predicted to keep climbing in future decades.</p></description>

<title>World Powers Largely Seen Positively Among Africa’s Youth</title>

<p>As the fastest-growing demographic globally, African youth are expected to account for over a third of the world’s youth by 2050, shaping not only the future of the continent but also that of the global stage. With this in mind, the&nbsp;<a href="https://ichikowitzfoundation.com/storage/reports/September2024/GSLcmLTnruHzhTrIuDOV.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">African Youth Survey 2024</a>&nbsp;by the Ichikowitz Family Foundation asked more than 5,000 18 to 24 year olds across Botswana, Cameroon, Chad, Congo Brazzaville, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia, about their opinions on topics from future ambitions to the environment and technology.</p><p>Respondents were also asked about their thoughts on international influence on Africa. According to the report, nearly seven in ten (72 percent) said they are either ‘very concerned’ or ‘somewhat concerned’ about the impact foreign countries and organizations have on the continent and their country. However, this is down from 81 percent in 2020. Respondents from South Africa (90 percent), Congo Brazzaville (81 percent), and Kenya (80 percent) voiced the highest levels of concern over foreign powers, while those from Rwanda (49 percent), Côte d’Ivoire (54 percent), and Chad (58 percent) were more divided.</p><p>Out of the three major superpowers, China was most widely considered to have influence on the African continent (76 percent of respondents thought China has some/ a lot of influence on Africa), followed by the United States (70 percent), while Russia was seen as a less influential actor (42 percent).&nbsp;</p><p>Each of the three countries were viewed by a majority of young African respondents as having a positive influence, with China scoring particularly well. Those who view China’s influence as positive cite aspects such as the country’s affordable products and its investments in African infrastructure. Of the minority who view China’s influence on their country as negative, reasons cited include the exportation of natural resources without fair compensation and benefit, as well as investments being a form of economic colonialism, among other factors.&nbsp;</p><p>In terms of the U.S., the positive perceptions of U.S. influence are led by the economic support offered by the country and how the U.S. has created employment opportunities. Those with a more negative view of the U.S. mention again economic colonialism as well as factors such as how American companies are exporting their home countries’ natural resources without fair compensation and interference in the domestic affairs of respondents’ respective countries.</p><p>When asked about Russia, positive perceptions are linked to factors such as how Russia provides grain and fertilizer to countries in Africa and how there is a strong history of relations between the polled countries and Russia. For those with a negative perception, Russia’s engagement in conflicts are thought to negatively impact respondents’ home countries. The second most cited driver for negative perceptions of Russia was the belief that Russian companies are exporting our natural resources without fair compensation.</p></description>

<p>Despite Nvidia’s inexorable rise and the ongoing dominance of the Magnificent 7, it’s good old fashioned utility stocks — think electricity, water, and gas companies — that are leading the market this year, up more than 27%. That’s better than the Information Technology or Communication Services sectors.</p><h1>So, why are utility stocks soaring?</h1><p>We never know exactly why&nbsp;<em>any</em>&nbsp;stock is doing&nbsp;<em>anything</em>, but in this case the market seems to be seeking exposure to utilities for two reasons.&nbsp;<strong>Firstly</strong>, after years of tighter monetary policy, we’re close to getting a cut in interest rates, lowering the borrowing costs for utility companies, as well as making their high dividend yields relatively more attractive to income-seeking investors.&nbsp;</p><p>The&nbsp;<strong>second</strong>&nbsp;reason is more fundamental. Many utilities stocks are indirectly exposed to AI (and you thought this story was about something else), by powering the ever-growing demand for data centers.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/markets/utilities-data-centers-best-performing-stock-market-sector/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Where Confidence in the Police Is Highest & Lowest</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Where-Confidence-in-the-Police-Is-Highest--Lowest-20240917090702.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>How does confidence in law enforcement&nbsp;compare around the world?&nbsp;Gallup recently released its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gallup.com/analytics/356963/gallup-global-law-and-order-report.aspx?thank-you-report-form=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Law &amp; Order Index</a>, which is a composite score based on reported confidence in the police, feelings of personal security and incidences of theft or mugging in different countries over the past year.&nbsp;</p><p>Tajikistan had the highest level of confidence in law and order in this edition of the index with a score of 96, followed jointly by Finland, Iceland, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Norway and Vietnam with 92. The lowest confidence levels were seen in Liberia with a score of just 49, largely attributable to the high share of respondents who have been victims of crime and their lack of faith in the police. The Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone and The Gambia also found themselves at the bottom of the law and order confidence rankings.</p><p>According to the report: “In most economically developed countries and territories with strong rule of law, high majorities of residents say they feel safe walking alone in their areas at night. The same is true in countries where populations are under tighter state control. For example, these feelings were nearly universal in 2022 in countries such as&nbsp;Kuwait.”</p></description>

<title>📈 The Shale Revolution: Reshaping the U.S. Oil and Gas Industry</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi--The-Shale-Revolution-Reshaping-the-US-Oil-and-Gas-Industry-20240917194052.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Historically, U.S. crude oil production maintained steady growth until 1970, peaking at 9.6 million barrel per day (bpd). However, a downward trend ensued from the early 1970s, hitting a nadir of 5.0 million bpd in 2005. The emergence of shale oil extraction technology acted as a transformative force, reshaping the U.S. oil production landscape. Notably, shale oil output surged from roughly 0.5 million bpd in 2008 to 8.4 million bpd by 2023, constituting a substantial 65% of the total U.S. crude oil yield. This astounding expansion propelled the U.S. to eclipse both Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's foremost oil-producing nation, achieving an average daily output of 11.0 million barrels in 2018.</p><p>The landscape of dry natural gas production has witnessed distinct cycles over the decades. The initial phase peaked at 21.7 trillion cubic feet in 1973 but tapered to 16.1 trillion cubic feet by 1986. A second cycle emerged in 2008, with production surging to 37.9 trillion cubic feet in 2023. From 2009 to 2023, conventional U.S. natural gas extraction, excluding shale, experienced a 50% reduction. The share of shale gas in U.S. natural gas production increased from around 6% in the early 2000s to 78% in 2023.</p><p>The shale revolution's impact on the U.S. economy and energy markets has been profound. The increased domestic production of oil and natural gas has reduced the country's dependence on foreign energy imports, enhancing energy security. Additionally, the abundance of shale gas has led to lower natural gas prices, benefiting consumers and industries alike. The chemical industry, in particular, has seen a renaissance due to the availability of cheap natural gas, which is a key feedstock for chemical production.</p><p>Moreover, the shale boom has spurred job creation and economic growth in regions rich in shale resources, such as Texas, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. These areas have seen significant investments in infrastructure, including pipelines, storage facilities, and export terminals, further integrating the U.S. into the global energy market. The ability to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) has positioned the U.S. as a major player in the global LNG market, offering an alternative to traditional suppliers like Russia and Qatar.</p><p>However, the shale revolution has not been without its challenges and controversies. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process, which involves injecting high-pressure fluid into shale formations to release oil and gas. Critics argue that fracking can contaminate groundwater, induce seismic activity, and contribute to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. In response, the industry and regulators have been working to implement stricter safety and environmental standards to mitigate these risks.</p><p>Despite these concerns, the shale revolution has undeniably transformed the U.S. energy landscape. The surge in domestic oil and gas production has reshaped global energy dynamics, reducing the influence of traditional oil-producing nations and contributing to a more diverse and competitive energy market. As technology continues to advance, the potential for further increases in shale oil and gas production remains strong, promising continued benefits for the U.S. economy and energy security.</p><p>In conclusion, the shale revolution has marked a new era for the U.S. oil and gas industry. By leveraging innovative extraction technologies, the U.S. has not only revitalized its energy sector but also established itself as a dominant force in the global energy market. The ongoing advancements and adaptations in shale technology will likely sustain this momentum, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of the energy industry for years to come.</p></description>

<p>Despite committing a record $11.4 billion in 2022 to revamp some of the busiest transit systems in the Western world, the MTA’s spending has slumped in the years since, dropping to $8 billion in 2023, and just $2.9 billion planned for this year. Interestingly, the agency&nbsp;<a href="https://www.osc.ny.gov/files/reports/osdc/pdf/report-3-2025.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reportedly claimed</a> that the 2024 goal would have been $12 billion, were it not for pending litigation around the now-halted congestion pricing.&nbsp;</p><p>Meeting budget might be even harder in the post-pandemic world too. Indeed, passenger usage of New York City’s public transport remains subdued relative to pre-2020: subway daily ridership was just over the 3 million mark last week, nowhere near the 5+ million in 2019.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/power/the-mta-is-under-pressure-to-spend-big-on-new-yorks-infrastructure/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<p>At least 853 people were executed in&nbsp;Iran&nbsp;in 2023, according to a<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/7869/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;report</a>&nbsp;by human rights advocacy group Amnesty International. This is up 170 percent from 2021, when at least 314 people were killed, and marks the highest number of deaths recorded in eight years. These figures are likely low estimates due to the Iranian authorities not publishing such data publicly.</p><p>According to Amnesty, the death penalty has historically been used as a tool to exert control over the population, stating that the uptick in executions since the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising of 2022, is “consistent with previously recorded patterns in Iran following periods of unrest and political dissent.”&nbsp;</p><p>While over half of the executions in 2023 were carried out for drug-related offenses, with members of the oppressed Baluchi ethnic minority disproportionately impacted, the report states that nine people have also been executed in direct connection to the 2022 protests. Amnesty reports that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/8077/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a further eight individuals are under sentence of death</a>&nbsp;in relation to the uprising.&nbsp;</p><p>According to another source,&nbsp;<a href="https://iranhr.net/en/articles/6896/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iran Human Rights</a>, at least 402 people have been executed in Iran in 2024 so far, with at least 100 recorded deaths in August alone. The group says that 50 of these were under charges of murder and 46 executions for drugs, with numbers having seen hikes after the presidential elections.</p></description>

<p>Lithium is the core component of the most popular battery technology: lithium-ion batteries. This means electric vehicles and stationary batteries are highly reliant on this material.</p><p>The second most popular technology — lithium iron phosphate (LFP) — also uses lithium, so the most likely alternative will still need large amounts of lithium.</p><p>Some manufacturers are developing new chemistries, such as sodium-ion, which don’t use lithium. A widespread shift to this technology would significantly reduce expected demand in the future.</p><h1>Production</h1><p>Australia produced around one-half of the world’s lithium in 2023. China made up another quarter of production.</p><p>Chile and Argentina both lie in the so-called “lithium triangle”, a region in the Andes that has large lithium reserves and crosses the borders of these two countries and Bolivia.

<title>How Many Motor Vehicles per Capita Does the U.S. Have?</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-How-Many-Motor-Vehicles-per-Capita-Does-the-US-Have-20240907111045.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Even with&nbsp;<a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=true&amp;year_high_desc=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an urbanization rate of more than 80 percent</a>, the United States is still seen as a country that has to rely on transportation via passenger vehicles due to the varying quality of its public transit and long-distance train and bus network. However, the idea that U.S. residents own more than one car is, on average, untrue.</p><p>Statista calculations based on data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2022/state/totals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Census Bureau</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;show that only nine U.S. states have a motorization rate, meaning in this case the&nbsp;number of motor vehicles&nbsp;per capita, at or above 1.0. Since the data doesn't disaggregate the pool of motor vehicles by private and commercial use, a higher density of, for example, agricultural businesses or companies relying on larger vehicle fleets might skew the results. Another factor to consider is that not every motor vehicle is classified as a car. This caveat notwithstanding, no state comes close to Montana, with an average of two motor vehicles per capita.</p><p>On the low end of the spectrum are&nbsp;<a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/12/09/what-largest-state-us-size-states-land-area/8083288001/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">some of the country's smallest states</a>&nbsp;like Delaware, the District of Columbia and New Jersey, which are easier to get around in if you don't own a car.

<title>The State of Autonomous Vehicle Safety</title>

<p>The inclusion of assisted driving, which aids the driver of a car with braking or steering in specific situations, has been the norm for newly manufactured automobiles for a while now.&nbsp;Fully autonomous driving, however, is still not considered ready for the mass market, even though the development and deployment of robotaxis in select cities in China and the U.S. have been advancing at a steady pace.&nbsp;</p><p>One major roadblock often brought up by critics is safety issues, which led to the suspension of the driverless testing permits for General Motors' AV subsidiary Cruise in San Francisco in 2023 after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/24/23930629/california-dmv-suspends-cruise-robotaxi-permit-safety" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an accident with a pedestrian</a>. The safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is also, in part, reflected in their crash/collision rate compared to regular passenger cars.</p><p>In 2022,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/disengagement-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1,552 AVs</a>&nbsp;driving&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/autonomous-vehicle-permit-holders-report-5-7-million-test-miles-in-california/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5.7 million miles</a>&nbsp;were reported registered for testing in California. These AVs were involved in 150 collisions throughout the year, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/autonomous-vehicle-collision-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Autonomous Vehicle Collision Reports</a>, which puts AVs at a crash rate of 96.7 per 1,000 vehicles and 26.3 per million vehicle miles. Statista calculations with data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.californiaaccidentattorneysblog.com/california-traffic-accident-statistics-for-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Highway Patrol</a>&nbsp;show that the overall rate of crashes per 1,000 vehicles in California stood at 7.0 in 2022, while the crash rate per&nbsp;<a href="https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/research-innovation-system-information/documents/hpms2022_prd_final.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">million miles traveled</a>&nbsp;came to 0.7. Looking at the same rates for all motor vehicles in the U.S., the&nbsp;<a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813560" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">crash rates</a>&nbsp;were 20.9 and 1.9, respectively.</p><p>The high figures for AVs don't necessarily translate to reckless driving behavior by autonomous cars. Crash reports for 2022 show that most collisions are minor and are often caused by other traffic participants trying to swerve around the AV, being distracted or impatient. Ten collision reports filed in 2022 included the participation of bicyclists, pedestrians or e-scooters, while the rest involved motorcycles, trucks or cars. AV makers are also held to a higher standard when reporting collisions.&nbsp;</p><p>The overall&nbsp;traffic crashes&nbsp;on public roads aggregated by the California Highway Patrol and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that form the basis for the calculations for the crash rates for all motor vehicles in California and in the United States are, on the other hand, estimates and only counted when police are involved. This makes it likely that the real collision figures are considerably higher.</p></description>

<p>In 2020, there were&nbsp;<strong>289 million</strong>&nbsp;vehicles in use in America, or about 18% of the global total.</p><p>With one of the largest car ownership rates worldwide, the number of U.S. cars on the road have more than doubled since the 1960s. But how does ownership compare to other countries, and who is seeing the fastest growth rates amid a rising global middle class?</p><p>This graphic shows vehicles per capita by country, based on data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (<a href="https://www.oica.net/category/vehicles-in-use/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OICA</a>).</p><h1><strong>Highest Car Ownership Rates Worldwide</strong></h1><p>Clinching top spot is&nbsp;<strong>New Zealand</strong>, a country known for its love of cars.</p><p>With nearly nine cars on the road to every 10 people, this figure is notably high considering that children make up about 20% of the population. The majority of cars are imported second hand from Japan thanks to a wave of deregulation in the 1980s along with the country being a major producer of right-hand drive cars.</p><p>The&nbsp;<strong>U.S.</strong>&nbsp;falls close behind, with a clear preference for trucks and SUVs. In fact, the Ford F-1 Series has been the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/best-selling-vehicles-in-america-in-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">best-selling vehicle</a>&nbsp;in America for 42 consecutive years.</p><p>In Europe,&nbsp;<strong>Poland</strong>&nbsp;has the highest number of vehicles per person, but one of the lowest share of electric vehicles (EVs). While EVs make up nearly 16% of all cars in top-ranking country Norway, they comprise 0.1% in Poland. On average, EVs account for 0.8% of passenger cars in the European Union.</p><p>Driven by an expanding middle class,&nbsp;<strong>Vietnam</strong>&nbsp;has seen the fastest growth in ownership. Between 2015 and 2020, the motorization rate grew by an astonishing 17% each year. Additionally,&nbsp;<strong>China</strong>&nbsp;witnessed 14% growth while&nbsp;<strong>India’s</strong>&nbsp;vehicles per 1,000 people increased 10% annually over the period.</p></description>

<p>Owning and operating a car involves both fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs, also known as ownership costs, do not change based on how much you drive and include insurance, license, registration, taxes, depreciation, and finance charges.

<p>A&nbsp;survey&nbsp;by Statista Consumer Insights has found that a key reason blocking potential&nbsp;electric vehicle (EV)&nbsp;converts in several European countries from buying an EV is the problem of poor electric infrastructure.

In&nbsp;Norway, which already has <a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/17344/electric-vehicle-share/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stronger EV infrastructure</a>, only eight percent of respondents said the same.&nbsp;</p><p>The share of respondents saying that limited infrastructure is preventing them from buying an electric car was also lower in several countries in eastern Europe (Poland 14 percent; Romania 13 percent) and southern Europe (Italy 15 percent; Greece 14 percent), although likely for different reasons.

<title>Chinese Consumers Focus on Four Sites for Online Shopping</title>

<p>A recent Statista Consumer Insights survey shows that Chinese consumers rely on domestic providers for online shopping. Chief among them is&nbsp;JD, where 61 percent of respondents have shopped at in the past 12 months, followed by Taobao (54 percent) and Tmall (51 percent), both of which are owned by Alibaba.</p><p>While Amazon is usually seen as the leading global e-commerce platform, it only plays a minor role in the People's Republic. 20 percent of respondents said they had ordered from the U.S. platform recently. Apart from Amazon, only two other foreign online shops feature among the 16 that survey respondents could choose from: Apple with ten percent and Sephora with eight percent.</p><p>In two cases, consumer preference also translates to successful economic performance. Taobao's and Tmall's parent company&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;generated a trailing twelve month revenue of $132.4 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/china/largest-chinese-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Companies Market Cap</a>. This performance netted it rank 53 out of the more than 9,000 global public companies listed on the site. JD fared even better, cracking the global top 50 with $154 billion, making it the Chinese tech company with the highest revenue, ranking 40th worldwide. So even with most of the products sold on Amazon manufactured in China&nbsp;according to a <a href="https://www.junglescout.com/resources/reports/amazon-seller-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent seller survey</a> by Amazon seller software Jungle Scout, the People's Republic's residents put more stock into&nbsp;homegrown alternatives.</p></description>

<title>Few Chinese Tech Companies Crack the Global Top 100</title>

<p>Jingdong Mall, or&nbsp;JD&nbsp;for short, is currently the publicly traded&nbsp;Chinese tech company&nbsp;with the highest trailing twelve month revenue at $154 billion, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/tech/largest-tech-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">data by Companies Market Cap</a>. Among more than 1,000 listed public companies in the tech sector, it ranks seventh ahead of Meta, its biggest competitor Alibaba and Nvidia. When broadening the scope to the 100 companies from all industries with the highest trailing twelve month revenue it comes in 40th. Four of the five Chinese tech firms listed in the overall top 100 are active in either the e-commerce or automotive sectors.</p><p>JD's competitor Alibaba takes third place out of the most successful tech companies originating from the People's Republic behind telecommunications firm China Mobile. SAIC Motor, best known in the Western hemisphere for its e-mobility-focused joint venture with General Motors, SAIC-Wuling-GM, and&nbsp;BYD, arguably the only EV maker able to challenge Tesla's global standing, round out the group of five Chinese tech companies present in the global top 100.</p><p>Other notable companies rank significantly lower in terms of revenue. While&nbsp;Tencent&nbsp;misses the top 100 group by six ranks, the Chinese spin-off of consumer electronics manufacturer Foxconn, Foxconn Industrial Internet, ranks 20th out of 319 publicly traded Chinese companies regardless of their industry with revenues of $74.6 billion and 129th in the world. Pinduoduo, which operates the low-cost online marketplace&nbsp;Temu, had trailing twelve month revenues of $47.6 billion, netting it rank 31 among all Chinese companies, rank 24 among all tech companies and rank 227 out of all 9,000 companies listed.&nbsp;</p><p>Notable firms not making the top list are e-commerce platform Meituan (overall rank 285, tech company rank 28), consumer electronics manufacturer Xiaomi (overall rank 289, tech company rank 29) and China's Google equivalent&nbsp;Baidu&nbsp;(overall rank 620, tech company rank 53).</p></description>

<title>Tesla and BYD Claim a Third of the Global BEV Market</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Tesla-and-BYD-Claim-a-Third-of-the-Global-BEV-Market-20240912124946.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>In the second quarter of 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/29774/tesla-gross-margin-and-deliveries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tesla's gross margin dropped to a new low</a>&nbsp;after declining every quarter since Q1 2022. As of May, the U.S. automaker and pioneer of getting&nbsp;battery electric vehicles&nbsp;(BEVs) to the mass market still retained the biggest market share among all BEVs sold worldwide in 2024, but only slightly.&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/707935/world-top-ev-oem-sales-2023q4/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In the past year</a>, Tesla's share had stood at 19 percent before dropping to 17 percent in&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/725811/global-plugin-car-sales-may2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first five months of 2024</a>, according to analyses by EV Volumes.&nbsp;</p><p>The competition is now hot on Tesla's heels. As our chart shows, the Chinese conglomerate BYD, which produces standalone electric vehicle batteries and associated electronics in addition to plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, increased its market share by 9 percentage points between 2021 and 2024. The BEV portfolio of legacy automakers like Volkswagen and Geely-Volvo stood at 7 and 8 percent, respectively, while SAIC, which includes the joint venture between the Chinese state-owned SAIC Motor and Wuling as well as General Motors, also had a market share of 7 percent as of the most recently available data.</p><p>Between 2023 and January to May 2024, BYD's share dropped by 1 percentage point, while Tesla's dropped by two. BYD's deliveries were only around 45,000 cars shy of Tesla's for this time period (or around 9,000 per month), illustrating how close the head-to-head race between these two companies has become. BYD is focused on providing BEVs to a more general consumer base, while Tesla's products have a higher price tag. This difference might be slightly mitigated through the increase of tariffs on Chinese-made cars from 25 to 100 percent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/14/joe-biden-tariff-chinese-made-electric-vehicles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">announced in May and coming into effect in early August</a>, a move that simultaneously seeks to boost domestic sales and will likely increase&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/4698/sino-us-trading-relationship/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tensions between the People's Republic and the United States</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ev-volumes.com/news/ev/global-ev-sales-for-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to EV Volumes</a>, 14 million electric vehicles were sold globally in 2023, 70 percent of which were BEVs. However, 84 percent of all light vehicles sold still ran on traditional combustion engines or other non-electric fuel sources. The biggest exporter and market for both hybrids and BEVs was China with shares of 65 and 59 percent, respectively.</p></description>

<p>Boeing’s business is obviously getting things airborne.

<title>Snapchat’s answer to its sinking stock price is more ads</title>

<p>Snap, like Meta, relies on advertising for the overwhelming majority of its business, some 96% of its $4.6 billion in revenue was from ads last year, a figure that barely grew relative to 2022 — not ideal for a company that is still running at a heavy loss.</p><p>In a bid to grow its sales, Spiegel outlined two new experiments to get&nbsp;<em>more ads</em>&nbsp;in<em>&nbsp;more places</em>&nbsp;across the app. One change is the introduction of "Sponsored Snaps", which will now appear in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/3/24235341/snapchat-sponsored-ads-messages-chat-tab-with-friends" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">previously ad-free</a>&nbsp;chat inbox. While opening these sponsored messages is optional, the move signals that no part of the Snapchat experience is off-limits when it comes to monetization. Additionally, Snap is rolling out "Promoted Places", allowing businesses to pay for greater prominence on the Snap Map — a feature people use to see what their friends are up to and keep track of their favorite spots.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/tech/snapchats-answer-to-its-sinking-stock-price-is-more-ads/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Apple is spending $30 billion a year on R&D to find its next big thing</title>

<p>If the prospect of a&nbsp;<em>slightly</em>&nbsp;better iPhone, with a&nbsp;<em>slightly</em>&nbsp;better camera, that is&nbsp;<em>slightly</em>&nbsp;more expensive than you want it to be doesn’t have you jumping up with excitement, rest assured you’re not alone.

And with every passing year, hype for the latest iPhone seems to diminish.&nbsp;</p><p>Apple execs are, of course, acutely aware of its dependence on both the iPhone and its suppliers. Indeed, in recent years the company has made a number of significant investments in its own tech.

Interestingly, that’s not just more in&nbsp;<em>absolute</em>&nbsp;dollars, but also as a&nbsp;<em>proportion</em>&nbsp;of its revenue, reversing a roughly 10-year spell when the company cut its R&amp;D budget in relative terms.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/tech/apple-its-glowtime-iphone-event-finding-next-big-thing/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>The Chinese Food Chains Expanding Internationally</title>

<p>It has been normal for decades to see branches of U.S. restaurant and fast food chains all over the world, but now another major global power is expanding overseas in the food sphere:&nbsp;China. While a lot of the initial expansion has focused on other Asian nations, popular countries to launch new food or beverage locations in also include the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Chinese chains have brought distinct concepts overseas, focusing on beverages more as well as opening stores with single-item menus.</p><p><a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/A-new-wave-of-Chinese-food-and-beverages-hit-Southeast-Asia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to reporting by Chinese media outlet Caixin</a>, market saturation and the known struggles of the Chinese economy are reasons for chains' international expansions picking up steam recently. But chain restaurant dominance is not only good for business. It also expands China's soft power - its perceived (pop) cultural appeal and strength overseas.</p><p>As of 2023, this Chinese soft power was mostly spread around the world in the form of soft serve (and bubble tea), which define the most popular Chinese food chain export, Mixue. At least 4,000 stores of the popular chain from Zhengzhou, Hunan province, existed in 11 countries outside of China at the end of the year, including in all of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Australia and even Myanmar, while also serving Hong Kong and Macau. Other Chinese bubble tea chains have followed suit with international pushes. The next-biggest is Chagee, which started its overseas expansion in 2019 - once year after Mixue - and now has at least 100 stores in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Bigger recent expansions include Heytea, which opened in London, Melbourne, New York, Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver last year; Shuyi Tealicious, which in 2023 expanded to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Spain after having previously focused on Canada, as well as Chabaidao that opened in Seoul this year. China's biggest homegrown coffee chain, Luckin, was long ensnared in a fraud scandal around inflated sales numbers. It only started international operations in 2023, expanding to Singapore, where it opened 30 locations.</p><p>Also on the menu of this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/5301/catering-industry-in-china/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chinese overseas expansion are restaurants</a>&nbsp;that specialize in certain dishes. Yang's Braised Chicken Rice, which has its single menu item right in the name, has since 2017 opened at least 100 locations in the U.S., Australia, Japan and Singapore. Tai Er, which serves fish and pickled cabbage stew, has expanded to four Asian countries and the U.S. since 2021 and like other brands on this list highlights artisanal ingredients and traditional Chinese preparation methods. Another popular segment for overseas success is hotpot. Here, Haidilao's presence had grown to 13 countries as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan between 2012 and 2023, while Zhangliang Malatang started overseas later, in 2019, and has opened in 15 countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.</p></description>

<p>GoPro became synonymous with action cameras, not unlike how brands like Post-it Notes and Band-Aids cornered the mindshare for their respective categories. That said, <strong>GoPro’s</strong>&nbsp;fortunes are fading fast. On Monday, the company announced a 15%&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/gopro-cut-15-workforce-restructuring-push-2024-08-19/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reduction</a>&nbsp;in its workforce as part of a broader restructuring effort to curb costs and navigate an increasingly challenging market.</p><p>A decade after its initial launch, GoPro hit its peak valuation of&nbsp;<strong>$12 billion</strong>. Today, the company is worth a tiny fraction of that, some&nbsp;<strong>$200 million</strong>, with its stock down 65% in the last 12 months. The latest quarterly results offered no respite, with revenue down 23% from the previous year and operating expenses climbing by 5%.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/business/iconic-action-camera-company-gopro-is-struggling/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Plant-Based Milk Is 'Low-Emission' Milk</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Plant-Based-Milk-Is-Low-Emission-Milk-20240822000507.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Celebrated annually on August 22,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.worldplantmilkday.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">World Plant Milk Day</a>&nbsp;was established in 2017 to raise awareness about the environmental and health benefits of choosing plant-based milk alternatives over dairy milk. It encourages people to explore the variety of plant-based options, such as almond, soy, oat and rice milk, which are easier digestible for many people, especially those who are lactose intolerant, and have a lower environmental impact. Ultimately, the day is part of a broader movement aiming to promote a shift towards more sustainable and compassionate food choices.&nbsp;</p><p>Cow's milk has a significant environmental footprint, primarily due to the methane produced by cows, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, dairy farming requires substantial land, water and energy resources, further adding to milk’s high carbon footprint. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2120584119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">research conducted by Michael Clark et al.</a> published in 2022, producing a liter of dairy milk results in about 3.7 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions.</p><p>Plant-based milk alternatives, such as almond, oat, soy and rice milk, have a much lower emissions footprint. According to Clark et al., these alternatives emit between 0.45 (oat milk) and 1.44 (rice milk) kilograms of CO2 equivalent per liter, making them far more sustainable. By choosing plant-based milks, consumers can significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation and a smaller environmental impact of food consumption.</p></description>

<title>Three Decades of Consumption-Based CO2 Emissions in Europe</title>

<p>This infographic visualizes 30 years of per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions in Europe, highlighting how consumption patterns have evolved across countries. Consumption-based emissions are calculated by adjusting a country's emissions for trade—subtracting those from exports and adding those from imports. Per capita emissions reflect the average emissions per person in a country or region, calculated by dividing total emissions by the population. Generally, Eastern European countries have lower per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions than Western Europe.</p><p>The infographic also includes data on whether each country is a net importer or exporter of CO2. If a country’s consumption-based emissions exceed its production emissions, it imports more CO2 than it exports; if they are lower, it exports more than it imports. These comparisons help determine whether countries have reduced emissions by simply offshoring carbon-intensive production.</p><p>Data: Global Carbon Budget (2023); Population based on various sources (2023) – with major processing by Our World in Data</p></description>

<title>The Countries With No Earth Overshoot Day</title>

<p>If everyone lived like the inhabitants of the countries highlighted on our map, one Earth would suffice to meet the needs of humanity. As for the lifestyles of the 140 or so remaining countries, the&nbsp;ecological footprint&nbsp;exceeds the planet's biocapacity, i.e. all the natural resources the Earth can regenerate (and the waste it can absorb) in the space of a year. This excluded fossil fuels and minerals (which do not regenerate) but takes into account CO₂ emissions and the space for forests needed to offset them, similar to a net-zero scenario.</p><p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/country-overshoot-days/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">calculations</a>&nbsp;by the NGO Global Footprint Network, as of August 1, 2024, humanity will have already consumed all the renewable resources the planet can replenish in one year. Humanity is thus living "on credit", and it would take 1.75 Earths to meet the needs of the world's population. Compared to this global average, the inhabitants of a country like Germany or France have an ecological footprint almost twice as high and there would have to be between 3 and 3.3 Earths if everyone lived like inhabitants of these countries. These countries' local Overshoot Days are therefore on May 2 and May 7, respectively. The United States even needs five whole Earths and had an Overshoot Day of March 14 this year.</p><p>Like with any calculation of this size, there are some weaknesses to the analysis, namely that there are sometimes gaps in the data, especially for smaller countries, and that the calculation lags behind around 1.5 years. The Earth Overshoot Day(s) for 2024 were calculated using data from 2022, which is also the reason the days are sometimes updated after the fact. As the model treats all countries the same, there can sometimes be results that are nonsensical when transferring them back to reality on a local level due to the consumption of fish.&nbsp;<a href="https://table.media/climate/analyse/erdueberlastungstag-eine-statistik-die-viele-fragen-aufwirft/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As reporting from Table Media</a>&nbsp;shows, small nations like the Faeroe Islands, Iceland or Micronesia might not eat too much fish for their specific (island) environments, but when calculating a local Overshoot Day for them, their lifestyles would be rated as unsustainable because the world as a whole would in no way be able to consume as much fish. This is why Global Footprint Network does not publish these local calculations for the countries in question.</p></description>

<p>Have you ever stopped, looked at the rain, the raindrops falling and started thinking about the journey ahead of them? </p><p>Whether you're standing in the rain in Dijon, Madrid, London, Kyiv, Istanbul or Milano, these raindrops you see touching the ground are all beginning a long journey, sometimes taking years to achieve, that will take them in complete opposite directions, some will cross hundred, if not thousands of kilometers and reach the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea or the Great Atlantic Ocean... The great divide (here, the line between river catchments that go in opposite directions) runs across Europe, and with a little knowledge in history, one can easily see how this line makes sense and reflects history and society. </p><p>So, next time you're in Prague and take a bus to Vienna, or travel from Madrid to Barcelona, from Lyon to Paris or cross the Swiss-Italian border, just stop for a moment and take the time to reflect on this: you're entering a new hydrological realm, something great, something greater than us!</p></description>

<p>Did you think *all* rivers end up in the sea? Well, you might be suprised to learn about the existence of endorheic rivers. Endorheic rivers are basically landlocked catchment areas (hydrological networks) that like all other rivers are fed by rainwater or glacier water and form ramifications as rivers merge, but instead of reaching the ocean and creating a delta or a coastal lagoon... they evaporate hundred of kilometers away from the shores. They're mostly found far inland in arid, hot places where depressions occurs in the landscape. </p><p>This map will teach you a lot more about these geographical curiosities!</p></description>

<title>Heavy Monsoon Rains Hit India One Month Into Season</title>

<p>In late June and early July - around one month into the monsoon season -&nbsp;India&nbsp;has experienced a spike in rainfall volumes that led to massive floods.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw0y6wwn9yyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to the BBC,</a>&nbsp;millions are currently affected and more than 70 have died. In Northern India, rivers like the Brahmaputra and the Koshi overflowed, but schools also closed in parts of Mumbai after heavy rains. Neighboring countries Bangladesh and Nepal also counted several victims of the flooding.</p><p>As seen in<a href="https://www.imdpune.gov.in/swmonsoon24.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;data by the India Meteorological Department Pune</a>, mean daily rainfall in India started so surpass its long-term averages as of June 27. The trend continued until July 9 - the latest day on record at the time of writing - with spikes recorded on July 1 and July 6. Looking at the (pre-) monsoon season as a whole, monthly rain volumes actually stayed below average in all months except May. Between July 1 and July 9, the country has already seen a cumulative 95 millimeters per m² of rainfall, which would slightly surpass the July monthly average recorded for the years 1901-2019 if extrapolated. However, as heavy rains are likely not lasting the entire month of July, a below-average result is still a possibility. This is caused by some regions in India continuing to record a monsoon season (June-July) rain deficit. It also shows that concentrated heavy rains can have catastrophic consequences even if monthly or yearly average are not surpassed.&nbsp;Climate change&nbsp;has been proven to make these types of events&nbsp;<a href="https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/extreme-weather/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more potent as well as frequent.</a></p></description>

<p>The ozone hole over Antarctica was growing rapidly throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, as the data in the chart shows. At its largest, the ozone hole was more than 25 million square kilometers — slightly bigger than the size of Sub-Saharan Africa. The earth’s ozone layer is important as the ozone absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, and helps to keep Earth habitable.</p><p>Human emissions of ozone-depleting substances — mostly chlorofluorocarbons — were breaking down ozone high in the atmosphere. But in 1987, the world agreed to phase out these ozone-depleting substances by signing the Montreal Protocol. Since then, emissions have fallen close to zero. As a consequence, the ozone hole stopped growing in the late 1990s. It will take decades to recover fully, but it’s slowly starting to rebuild.</p></description>

It is estimated that almost 4.5 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Caribbean and another 3.2 million in present-day Brazil.</p><p>Around 40 percent of Africans uprooted in slavery are believed to have come from Angola in Southern Africa, with another 30 percent who came from the Bay of Benin in West Africa.</p><p><a href="https://www.slavevoyages.org/voyage/database#maps" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The numbers taken from database project SlaveVoyages.org</a>&nbsp;indicate the number of Africans disembarking. Many more died on the way because of lack of food and water and horrid conditions aboard the slave ships. Others were uprooted in the trans-Saharan, the red sea and the Indian slave trade, which partly predated the trans-Atlantic slave trade.&nbsp;It is estimated that close to <a href="https://voxeu.org/article/understanding-long-run-effects-africa-s-slave-trades" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">20 million people</a> were forced to leave the African continent enslaved.&nbsp;By 1800, this had decimated the African population to half the size it would have been had slavery not occurred.</p></description>

<h1>What We’re Showing</h1><p>This graphic ranks the top 15 countries by their number of native French speakers. Figures were sourced from WorldData.info, which were last updated in July 2024.</p><h1>The Origins of French</h1><p>Similar to Spanish, French evolved from Vulgar Latin, the everyday language of the Roman Empire. Over time, the dialect used in Île-de-France (Paris) became dominant, leading to the standardization of modern French by the 17th century.</p><p>French is spoken in many African countries due to France’s colonization efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries. Even after gaining independence, many of these nations retain French as an official language. For this reason, the number of French speakers in the world is predicted to keep climbing in future decades.</p></description>

<title>How common is homelessness across the world?</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-How-common-is-homelessness-across-the-world-20240823124123.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Countries have very different rates of homelessness, according to the OECD’s Affordable Housing Database.</p><p>The chart shows that more than 300 out of every 100,000 are reported homeless in France, while it’s fewer than 20 in Finland.</p><p>In about half of the countries, more than 100 in every 100,000 people are homeless. That means more than one per thousand people.</p><p>There are also differences in types of homelessness. The United States, for example, has relatively high numbers of people living in the streets or public spaces but fewer in temporary accommodations or shelters.</p><p>Not all countries on the chart can be directly compared. For example, Japan and Greece only report data on one type of homelessness, so they don’t give a complete picture of the total population affected by homelessness.</p></description>

<title>World Powers Largely Seen Positively Among Africa’s Youth</title>

<p>As the fastest-growing demographic globally, African youth are expected to account for over a third of the world’s youth by 2050, shaping not only the future of the continent but also that of the global stage. With this in mind, the&nbsp;<a href="https://ichikowitzfoundation.com/storage/reports/September2024/GSLcmLTnruHzhTrIuDOV.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">African Youth Survey 2024</a>&nbsp;by the Ichikowitz Family Foundation asked more than 5,000 18 to 24 year olds across Botswana, Cameroon, Chad, Congo Brazzaville, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia, about their opinions on topics from future ambitions to the environment and technology.</p><p>Respondents were also asked about their thoughts on international influence on Africa. According to the report, nearly seven in ten (72 percent) said they are either ‘very concerned’ or ‘somewhat concerned’ about the impact foreign countries and organizations have on the continent and their country. However, this is down from 81 percent in 2020. Respondents from South Africa (90 percent), Congo Brazzaville (81 percent), and Kenya (80 percent) voiced the highest levels of concern over foreign powers, while those from Rwanda (49 percent), Côte d’Ivoire (54 percent), and Chad (58 percent) were more divided.</p><p>Out of the three major superpowers, China was most widely considered to have influence on the African continent (76 percent of respondents thought China has some/ a lot of influence on Africa), followed by the United States (70 percent), while Russia was seen as a less influential actor (42 percent).&nbsp;</p><p>Each of the three countries were viewed by a majority of young African respondents as having a positive influence, with China scoring particularly well. Those who view China’s influence as positive cite aspects such as the country’s affordable products and its investments in African infrastructure. Of the minority who view China’s influence on their country as negative, reasons cited include the exportation of natural resources without fair compensation and benefit, as well as investments being a form of economic colonialism, among other factors.&nbsp;</p><p>In terms of the U.S., the positive perceptions of U.S. influence are led by the economic support offered by the country and how the U.S. has created employment opportunities. Those with a more negative view of the U.S. mention again economic colonialism as well as factors such as how American companies are exporting their home countries’ natural resources without fair compensation and interference in the domestic affairs of respondents’ respective countries.</p><p>When asked about Russia, positive perceptions are linked to factors such as how Russia provides grain and fertilizer to countries in Africa and how there is a strong history of relations between the polled countries and Russia. For those with a negative perception, Russia’s engagement in conflicts are thought to negatively impact respondents’ home countries. The second most cited driver for negative perceptions of Russia was the belief that Russian companies are exporting our natural resources without fair compensation.</p></description>

<title>Utilities Is The Best Performing Sector In The S&P 500 This Year</title>

<p>Despite Nvidia’s inexorable rise and the ongoing dominance of the Magnificent 7, it’s good old fashioned utility stocks — think electricity, water, and gas companies — that are leading the market this year, up more than 27%. That’s better than the Information Technology or Communication Services sectors.</p><h1>So, why are utility stocks soaring?</h1><p>We never know exactly why&nbsp;<em>any</em>&nbsp;stock is doing&nbsp;<em>anything</em>, but in this case the market seems to be seeking exposure to utilities for two reasons.&nbsp;<strong>Firstly</strong>, after years of tighter monetary policy, we’re close to getting a cut in interest rates, lowering the borrowing costs for utility companies, as well as making their high dividend yields relatively more attractive to income-seeking investors.&nbsp;</p><p>The&nbsp;<strong>second</strong>&nbsp;reason is more fundamental. Many utilities stocks are indirectly exposed to AI (and you thought this story was about something else), by powering the ever-growing demand for data centers.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/markets/utilities-data-centers-best-performing-stock-market-sector/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>Where Confidence in the Police Is Highest & Lowest</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Where-Confidence-in-the-Police-Is-Highest--Lowest-20240917090702.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>How does confidence in law enforcement&nbsp;compare around the world?&nbsp;Gallup recently released its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gallup.com/analytics/356963/gallup-global-law-and-order-report.aspx?thank-you-report-form=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Law &amp; Order Index</a>, which is a composite score based on reported confidence in the police, feelings of personal security and incidences of theft or mugging in different countries over the past year.&nbsp;</p><p>Tajikistan had the highest level of confidence in law and order in this edition of the index with a score of 96, followed jointly by Finland, Iceland, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Norway and Vietnam with 92. The lowest confidence levels were seen in Liberia with a score of just 49, largely attributable to the high share of respondents who have been victims of crime and their lack of faith in the police. The Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone and The Gambia also found themselves at the bottom of the law and order confidence rankings.</p><p>According to the report: “In most economically developed countries and territories with strong rule of law, high majorities of residents say they feel safe walking alone in their areas at night. The same is true in countries where populations are under tighter state control. For example, these feelings were nearly universal in 2022 in countries such as&nbsp;Kuwait.”</p></description>

<title>📈 The Shale Revolution: Reshaping the U.S. Oil and Gas Industry</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi--The-Shale-Revolution-Reshaping-the-US-Oil-and-Gas-Industry-20240917194052.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Historically, U.S. crude oil production maintained steady growth until 1970, peaking at 9.6 million barrel per day (bpd). However, a downward trend ensued from the early 1970s, hitting a nadir of 5.0 million bpd in 2005. The emergence of shale oil extraction technology acted as a transformative force, reshaping the U.S. oil production landscape. Notably, shale oil output surged from roughly 0.5 million bpd in 2008 to 8.4 million bpd by 2023, constituting a substantial 65% of the total U.S. crude oil yield. This astounding expansion propelled the U.S. to eclipse both Russia and Saudi Arabia as the world's foremost oil-producing nation, achieving an average daily output of 11.0 million barrels in 2018.</p><p>The landscape of dry natural gas production has witnessed distinct cycles over the decades. The initial phase peaked at 21.7 trillion cubic feet in 1973 but tapered to 16.1 trillion cubic feet by 1986. A second cycle emerged in 2008, with production surging to 37.9 trillion cubic feet in 2023. From 2009 to 2023, conventional U.S. natural gas extraction, excluding shale, experienced a 50% reduction. The share of shale gas in U.S. natural gas production increased from around 6% in the early 2000s to 78% in 2023.</p><p>The shale revolution's impact on the U.S. economy and energy markets has been profound. The increased domestic production of oil and natural gas has reduced the country's dependence on foreign energy imports, enhancing energy security. Additionally, the abundance of shale gas has led to lower natural gas prices, benefiting consumers and industries alike. The chemical industry, in particular, has seen a renaissance due to the availability of cheap natural gas, which is a key feedstock for chemical production.</p><p>Moreover, the shale boom has spurred job creation and economic growth in regions rich in shale resources, such as Texas, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. These areas have seen significant investments in infrastructure, including pipelines, storage facilities, and export terminals, further integrating the U.S. into the global energy market. The ability to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) has positioned the U.S. as a major player in the global LNG market, offering an alternative to traditional suppliers like Russia and Qatar.</p><p>However, the shale revolution has not been without its challenges and controversies. Environmental concerns have been raised regarding the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process, which involves injecting high-pressure fluid into shale formations to release oil and gas. Critics argue that fracking can contaminate groundwater, induce seismic activity, and contribute to methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas. In response, the industry and regulators have been working to implement stricter safety and environmental standards to mitigate these risks.</p><p>Despite these concerns, the shale revolution has undeniably transformed the U.S. energy landscape. The surge in domestic oil and gas production has reshaped global energy dynamics, reducing the influence of traditional oil-producing nations and contributing to a more diverse and competitive energy market. As technology continues to advance, the potential for further increases in shale oil and gas production remains strong, promising continued benefits for the U.S. economy and energy security.</p><p>In conclusion, the shale revolution has marked a new era for the U.S. oil and gas industry. By leveraging innovative extraction technologies, the U.S. has not only revitalized its energy sector but also established itself as a dominant force in the global energy market. The ongoing advancements and adaptations in shale technology will likely sustain this momentum, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of the energy industry for years to come.</p></description>

This is up 170 percent from 2021, when at least 314 people were killed, and marks the highest number of deaths recorded in eight years. These figures are likely low estimates due to the Iranian authorities not publishing such data publicly.</p><p>According to Amnesty, the death penalty has historically been used as a tool to exert control over the population, stating that the uptick in executions since the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising of 2022, is “consistent with previously recorded patterns in Iran following periods of unrest and political dissent.”&nbsp;</p><p>While over half of the executions in 2023 were carried out for drug-related offenses, with members of the oppressed Baluchi ethnic minority disproportionately impacted, the report states that nine people have also been executed in direct connection to the 2022 protests. Amnesty reports that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde13/8077/2024/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a further eight individuals are under sentence of death</a>&nbsp;in relation to the uprising.&nbsp;</p><p>According to another source,&nbsp;<a href="https://iranhr.net/en/articles/6896/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iran Human Rights</a>, at least 402 people have been executed in Iran in 2024 so far, with at least 100 recorded deaths in August alone.

<title>How Many Motor Vehicles per Capita Does the U.S. Have?</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-How-Many-Motor-Vehicles-per-Capita-Does-the-US-Have-20240907111045.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Even with&nbsp;<a href="https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=true&amp;year_high_desc=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an urbanization rate of more than 80 percent</a>, the United States is still seen as a country that has to rely on transportation via passenger vehicles due to the varying quality of its public transit and long-distance train and bus network. However, the idea that U.S. residents own more than one car is, on average, untrue.</p><p>Statista calculations based on data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2022/state/totals/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Census Bureau</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;show that only nine U.S. states have a motorization rate, meaning in this case the&nbsp;number of motor vehicles&nbsp;per capita, at or above 1.0. Since the data doesn't disaggregate the pool of motor vehicles by private and commercial use, a higher density of, for example, agricultural businesses or companies relying on larger vehicle fleets might skew the results. Another factor to consider is that not every motor vehicle is classified as a car. This caveat notwithstanding, no state comes close to Montana, with an average of two motor vehicles per capita.</p><p>On the low end of the spectrum are&nbsp;<a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/2022/12/09/what-largest-state-us-size-states-land-area/8083288001/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">some of the country's smallest states</a>&nbsp;like Delaware, the District of Columbia and New Jersey, which are easier to get around in if you don't own a car. One of the exceptions from this rule with a motorization rate of 0.46 is New York, which ranks 30th out of 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of land size. However, it exhibits a&nbsp;high urbanization rate&nbsp;and, for example, a well-connected public transit system in&nbsp;<a href="https://data.census.gov/profile/New_York_city,_New_York?g=160XX00US3651000" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York City</a>. The state's capital is home to around 43 percent of all residents of&nbsp;<a href="https://data.census.gov/profile/New_York?g=040XX00US36" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York state</a>, according to the most recent U.S. Census from 2020.</p></description>

<title>The State of Autonomous Vehicle Safety</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-State-of-Autonomous-Vehicle-Safety-20240906122419.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>The inclusion of assisted driving, which aids the driver of a car with braking or steering in specific situations, has been the norm for newly manufactured automobiles for a while now.&nbsp;Fully autonomous driving, however, is still not considered ready for the mass market, even though the development and deployment of robotaxis in select cities in China and the U.S. have been advancing at a steady pace.&nbsp;</p><p>One major roadblock often brought up by critics is safety issues, which led to the suspension of the driverless testing permits for General Motors' AV subsidiary Cruise in San Francisco in 2023 after&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/24/23930629/california-dmv-suspends-cruise-robotaxi-permit-safety" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an accident with a pedestrian</a>. The safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) is also, in part, reflected in their crash/collision rate compared to regular passenger cars.</p><p>In 2022,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/disengagement-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1,552 AVs</a>&nbsp;driving&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/autonomous-vehicle-permit-holders-report-5-7-million-test-miles-in-california/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">5.7 million miles</a>&nbsp;were reported registered for testing in California. These AVs were involved in 150 collisions throughout the year, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/vehicle-industry-services/autonomous-vehicles/autonomous-vehicle-collision-reports/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Autonomous Vehicle Collision Reports</a>, which puts AVs at a crash rate of 96.7 per 1,000 vehicles and 26.3 per million vehicle miles. Statista calculations with data from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/statistics/2022/mv1.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">U.S. Department of Transportation</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.californiaaccidentattorneysblog.com/california-traffic-accident-statistics-for-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">California Highway Patrol</a>&nbsp;show that the overall rate of crashes per 1,000 vehicles in California stood at 7.0 in 2022, while the crash rate per&nbsp;<a href="https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/research-innovation-system-information/documents/hpms2022_prd_final.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">million miles traveled</a>&nbsp;came to 0.7. Looking at the same rates for all motor vehicles in the U.S., the&nbsp;<a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813560" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">crash rates</a>&nbsp;were 20.9 and 1.9, respectively.</p><p>The high figures for AVs don't necessarily translate to reckless driving behavior by autonomous cars. Crash reports for 2022 show that most collisions are minor and are often caused by other traffic participants trying to swerve around the AV, being distracted or impatient. Ten collision reports filed in 2022 included the participation of bicyclists, pedestrians or e-scooters, while the rest involved motorcycles, trucks or cars. AV makers are also held to a higher standard when reporting collisions.&nbsp;</p><p>The overall&nbsp;traffic crashes&nbsp;on public roads aggregated by the California Highway Patrol and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that form the basis for the calculations for the crash rates for all motor vehicles in California and in the United States are, on the other hand, estimates and only counted when police are involved. This makes it likely that the real collision figures are considerably higher.</p></description>

<p>In 2020, there were&nbsp;<strong>289 million</strong>&nbsp;vehicles in use in America, or about 18% of the global total.</p><p>With one of the largest car ownership rates worldwide, the number of U.S. cars on the road have more than doubled since the 1960s. But how does ownership compare to other countries, and who is seeing the fastest growth rates amid a rising global middle class?</p><p>This graphic shows vehicles per capita by country, based on data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (<a href="https://www.oica.net/category/vehicles-in-use/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OICA</a>).</p><h1><strong>Highest Car Ownership Rates Worldwide</strong></h1><p>Clinching top spot is&nbsp;<strong>New Zealand</strong>, a country known for its love of cars.</p><p>With nearly nine cars on the road to every 10 people, this figure is notably high considering that children make up about 20% of the population. The majority of cars are imported second hand from Japan thanks to a wave of deregulation in the 1980s along with the country being a major producer of right-hand drive cars.</p><p>The&nbsp;<strong>U.S.</strong>&nbsp;falls close behind, with a clear preference for trucks and SUVs. In fact, the Ford F-1 Series has been the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/best-selling-vehicles-in-america-in-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">best-selling vehicle</a>&nbsp;in America for 42 consecutive years.</p><p>In Europe,&nbsp;<strong>Poland</strong>&nbsp;has the highest number of vehicles per person, but one of the lowest share of electric vehicles (EVs). While EVs make up nearly 16% of all cars in top-ranking country Norway, they comprise 0.1% in Poland. On average, EVs account for 0.8% of passenger cars in the European Union.</p><p>Driven by an expanding middle class,&nbsp;<strong>Vietnam</strong>&nbsp;has seen the fastest growth in ownership. Between 2015 and 2020, the motorization rate grew by an astonishing 17% each year. Additionally,&nbsp;<strong>China</strong>&nbsp;witnessed 14% growth while&nbsp;<strong>India’s</strong>&nbsp;vehicles per 1,000 people increased 10% annually over the period.</p></description>

<title>Where Is Infrastructure A Roadblock To Buying EVs?</title>

<p>A&nbsp;survey&nbsp;by Statista Consumer Insights has found that a key reason blocking potential&nbsp;electric vehicle (EV)&nbsp;converts in several European countries from buying an EV is the problem of poor electric infrastructure. In several northern and western European countries, upwards of one in five people said that this was the case. In&nbsp;Norway, which already has <a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/17344/electric-vehicle-share/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">stronger EV infrastructure</a>, only eight percent of respondents said the same.&nbsp;</p><p>The share of respondents saying that limited infrastructure is preventing them from buying an electric car was also lower in several countries in eastern Europe (Poland 14 percent; Romania 13 percent) and southern Europe (Italy 15 percent; Greece 14 percent), although likely for different reasons. Meanwhile, in both the United States and in China, only 13 percent of respondents said the same.</p></description>

Chief among them is&nbsp;JD, where 61 percent of respondents have shopped at in the past 12 months, followed by Taobao (54 percent) and Tmall (51 percent), both of which are owned by Alibaba.</p><p>While Amazon is usually seen as the leading global e-commerce platform, it only plays a minor role in the People's Republic. 20 percent of respondents said they had ordered from the U.S. platform recently. Apart from Amazon, only two other foreign online shops feature among the 16 that survey respondents could choose from: Apple with ten percent and Sephora with eight percent.</p><p>In two cases, consumer preference also translates to successful economic performance. Taobao's and Tmall's parent company&nbsp;Alibaba&nbsp;generated a trailing twelve month revenue of $132.4 billion,&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/china/largest-chinese-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">according to Companies Market Cap</a>. This performance netted it rank 53 out of the more than 9,000 global public companies listed on the site. JD fared even better, cracking the global top 50 with $154 billion, making it the Chinese tech company with the highest revenue, ranking 40th worldwide. So even with most of the products sold on Amazon manufactured in China&nbsp;according to a <a href="https://www.junglescout.com/resources/reports/amazon-seller-report-2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">recent seller survey</a> by Amazon seller software Jungle Scout, the People's Republic's residents put more stock into&nbsp;homegrown alternatives.</p></description>

<title>Few Chinese Tech Companies Crack the Global Top 100</title>

<p>Jingdong Mall, or&nbsp;JD&nbsp;for short, is currently the publicly traded&nbsp;Chinese tech company&nbsp;with the highest trailing twelve month revenue at $154 billion, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://companiesmarketcap.com/tech/largest-tech-companies-by-revenue/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">data by Companies Market Cap</a>. Among more than 1,000 listed public companies in the tech sector, it ranks seventh ahead of Meta, its biggest competitor Alibaba and Nvidia. When broadening the scope to the 100 companies from all industries with the highest trailing twelve month revenue it comes in 40th. Four of the five Chinese tech firms listed in the overall top 100 are active in either the e-commerce or automotive sectors.</p><p>JD's competitor Alibaba takes third place out of the most successful tech companies originating from the People's Republic behind telecommunications firm China Mobile. SAIC Motor, best known in the Western hemisphere for its e-mobility-focused joint venture with General Motors, SAIC-Wuling-GM, and&nbsp;BYD, arguably the only EV maker able to challenge Tesla's global standing, round out the group of five Chinese tech companies present in the global top 100.</p><p>Other notable companies rank significantly lower in terms of revenue. While&nbsp;Tencent&nbsp;misses the top 100 group by six ranks, the Chinese spin-off of consumer electronics manufacturer Foxconn, Foxconn Industrial Internet, ranks 20th out of 319 publicly traded Chinese companies regardless of their industry with revenues of $74.6 billion and 129th in the world. Pinduoduo, which operates the low-cost online marketplace&nbsp;Temu, had trailing twelve month revenues of $47.6 billion, netting it rank 31 among all Chinese companies, rank 24 among all tech companies and rank 227 out of all 9,000 companies listed.&nbsp;</p><p>Notable firms not making the top list are e-commerce platform Meituan (overall rank 285, tech company rank 28), consumer electronics manufacturer Xiaomi (overall rank 289, tech company rank 29) and China's Google equivalent&nbsp;Baidu&nbsp;(overall rank 620, tech company rank 53).</p></description>

<title>Tesla and BYD Claim a Third of the Global BEV Market</title>

<p>In the second quarter of 2024,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/chart/29774/tesla-gross-margin-and-deliveries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tesla's gross margin dropped to a new low</a>&nbsp;after declining every quarter since Q1 2022. As of May, the U.S. automaker and pioneer of getting&nbsp;battery electric vehicles&nbsp;(BEVs) to the mass market still retained the biggest market share among all BEVs sold worldwide in 2024, but only slightly.&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/707935/world-top-ev-oem-sales-2023q4/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In the past year</a>, Tesla's share had stood at 19 percent before dropping to 17 percent in&nbsp;<a href="https://insideevs.com/news/725811/global-plugin-car-sales-may2024/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first five months of 2024</a>, according to analyses by EV Volumes.&nbsp;</p><p>The competition is now hot on Tesla's heels. As our chart shows, the Chinese conglomerate BYD, which produces standalone electric vehicle batteries and associated electronics in addition to plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, increased its market share by 9 percentage points between 2021 and 2024. The BEV portfolio of legacy automakers like Volkswagen and Geely-Volvo stood at 7 and 8 percent, respectively, while SAIC, which includes the joint venture between the Chinese state-owned SAIC Motor and Wuling as well as General Motors, also had a market share of 7 percent as of the most recently available data.</p><p>Between 2023 and January to May 2024, BYD's share dropped by 1 percentage point, while Tesla's dropped by two. BYD's deliveries were only around 45,000 cars shy of Tesla's for this time period (or around 9,000 per month), illustrating how close the head-to-head race between these two companies has become. BYD is focused on providing BEVs to a more general consumer base, while Tesla's products have a higher price tag. This difference might be slightly mitigated through the increase of tariffs on Chinese-made cars from 25 to 100 percent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/14/joe-biden-tariff-chinese-made-electric-vehicles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">announced in May and coming into effect in early August</a>, a move that simultaneously seeks to boost domestic sales and will likely increase&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/4698/sino-us-trading-relationship/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tensions between the People's Republic and the United States</a>.</p><p><a href="https://ev-volumes.com/news/ev/global-ev-sales-for-2023/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to EV Volumes</a>, 14 million electric vehicles were sold globally in 2023, 70 percent of which were BEVs. However, 84 percent of all light vehicles sold still ran on traditional combustion engines or other non-electric fuel sources. The biggest exporter and market for both hybrids and BEVs was China with shares of 65 and 59 percent, respectively.</p></description>

<title>Snapchat’s answer to its sinking stock price is more ads</title>

<p>Snap, like Meta, relies on advertising for the overwhelming majority of its business, some 96% of its $4.6 billion in revenue was from ads last year, a figure that barely grew relative to 2022 — not ideal for a company that is still running at a heavy loss.</p><p>In a bid to grow its sales, Spiegel outlined two new experiments to get&nbsp;<em>more ads</em>&nbsp;in<em>&nbsp;more places</em>&nbsp;across the app. One change is the introduction of "Sponsored Snaps", which will now appear in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/3/24235341/snapchat-sponsored-ads-messages-chat-tab-with-friends" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">previously ad-free</a>&nbsp;chat inbox. While opening these sponsored messages is optional, the move signals that no part of the Snapchat experience is off-limits when it comes to monetization. Additionally, Snap is rolling out "Promoted Places", allowing businesses to pay for greater prominence on the Snap Map — a feature people use to see what their friends are up to and keep track of their favorite spots.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/tech/snapchats-answer-to-its-sinking-stock-price-is-more-ads/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<title>The Chinese Food Chains Expanding Internationally</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-Chinese-Food-Chains-Expanding-Internationally-20240826123412.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>It has been normal for decades to see branches of U.S. restaurant and fast food chains all over the world, but now another major global power is expanding overseas in the food sphere:&nbsp;China. While a lot of the initial expansion has focused on other Asian nations, popular countries to launch new food or beverage locations in also include the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom. Chinese chains have brought distinct concepts overseas, focusing on beverages more as well as opening stores with single-item menus.</p><p><a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Caixin/A-new-wave-of-Chinese-food-and-beverages-hit-Southeast-Asia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to reporting by Chinese media outlet Caixin</a>, market saturation and the known struggles of the Chinese economy are reasons for chains' international expansions picking up steam recently. But chain restaurant dominance is not only good for business. It also expands China's soft power - its perceived (pop) cultural appeal and strength overseas.</p><p>As of 2023, this Chinese soft power was mostly spread around the world in the form of soft serve (and bubble tea), which define the most popular Chinese food chain export, Mixue. At least 4,000 stores of the popular chain from Zhengzhou, Hunan province, existed in 11 countries outside of China at the end of the year, including in all of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Australia and even Myanmar, while also serving Hong Kong and Macau. Other Chinese bubble tea chains have followed suit with international pushes. The next-biggest is Chagee, which started its overseas expansion in 2019 - once year after Mixue - and now has at least 100 stores in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Bigger recent expansions include Heytea, which opened in London, Melbourne, New York, Kuala Lumpur and Vancouver last year; Shuyi Tealicious, which in 2023 expanded to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Spain after having previously focused on Canada, as well as Chabaidao that opened in Seoul this year. China's biggest homegrown coffee chain, Luckin, was long ensnared in a fraud scandal around inflated sales numbers. It only started international operations in 2023, expanding to Singapore, where it opened 30 locations.</p><p>Also on the menu of this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/5301/catering-industry-in-china/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chinese overseas expansion are restaurants</a>&nbsp;that specialize in certain dishes. Yang's Braised Chicken Rice, which has its single menu item right in the name, has since 2017 opened at least 100 locations in the U.S., Australia, Japan and Singapore. Tai Er, which serves fish and pickled cabbage stew, has expanded to four Asian countries and the U.S. since 2021 and like other brands on this list highlights artisanal ingredients and traditional Chinese preparation methods. Another popular segment for overseas success is hotpot. Here, Haidilao's presence had grown to 13 countries as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan between 2012 and 2023, while Zhangliang Malatang started overseas later, in 2019, and has opened in 15 countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.</p></description>

<p>GoPro became synonymous with action cameras, not unlike how brands like Post-it Notes and Band-Aids cornered the mindshare for their respective categories. That said, <strong>GoPro’s</strong>&nbsp;fortunes are fading fast.

Today, the company is worth a tiny fraction of that, some&nbsp;<strong>$200 million</strong>, with its stock down 65% in the last 12 months. The latest quarterly results offered no respite, with revenue down 23% from the previous year and operating expenses climbing by 5%.</p><p><em>See the full article </em><a href="https://sherwood.news/business/iconic-action-camera-company-gopro-is-struggling/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>here</em></a><em>.</em></p></description>

<h1>What We’re Showing</h1><p>This graphic shows the amount of forests lost each year, from 2001 to 2023. Data was sourced from the <strong>World Resources Institute</strong>. The dark part of the trees represents forest loss from non-fire related causes, and the bright portion is forest lost due to fire.</p><h1>Key Takeaway</h1><p>While forest fire damage varies each year, there has been a clear upward trend since 2001. For example, 2020, 2021, and 2023 were the fourth, third, and first worst years for forest fires globally.</p><p>Another fact: the 11.9M hectares burned in 2023 is roughly equal to the size of Nicaragua.</p><h1>Methodology</h1><p>Researchers at the University of Maryland used Landsat satellite imagery to map the area of tree cover lost to stand-replacing forest fires (fires that kill all or most of the living overstory in a forest) annually from 2001 to 2023.</p></description>

<title>Plant-Based Milk Is 'Low-Emission' Milk</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Plant-Based-Milk-Is-Low-Emission-Milk-20240822000507.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>Celebrated annually on August 22,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.worldplantmilkday.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">World Plant Milk Day</a>&nbsp;was established in 2017 to raise awareness about the environmental and health benefits of choosing plant-based milk alternatives over dairy milk. It encourages people to explore the variety of plant-based options, such as almond, soy, oat and rice milk, which are easier digestible for many people, especially those who are lactose intolerant, and have a lower environmental impact. Ultimately, the day is part of a broader movement aiming to promote a shift towards more sustainable and compassionate food choices.&nbsp;</p><p>Cow's milk has a significant environmental footprint, primarily due to the methane produced by cows, a potent greenhouse gas. Additionally, dairy farming requires substantial land, water and energy resources, further adding to milk’s high carbon footprint. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2120584119" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">research conducted by Michael Clark et al.</a> published in 2022, producing a liter of dairy milk results in about 3.7 kg of CO2 equivalent emissions.</p><p>Plant-based milk alternatives, such as almond, oat, soy and rice milk, have a much lower emissions footprint. According to Clark et al., these alternatives emit between 0.45 (oat milk) and 1.44 (rice milk) kilograms of CO2 equivalent per liter, making them far more sustainable. By choosing plant-based milks, consumers can significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation and a smaller environmental impact of food consumption.</p></description>

<title>Three Decades of Consumption-Based CO2 Emissions in Europe</title>

<p>This infographic visualizes 30 years of per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions in Europe, highlighting how consumption patterns have evolved across countries. Consumption-based emissions are calculated by adjusting a country's emissions for trade—subtracting those from exports and adding those from imports. Per capita emissions reflect the average emissions per person in a country or region, calculated by dividing total emissions by the population. Generally, Eastern European countries have lower per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions than Western Europe.</p><p>The infographic also includes data on whether each country is a net importer or exporter of CO2. If a country’s consumption-based emissions exceed its production emissions, it imports more CO2 than it exports; if they are lower, it exports more than it imports. These comparisons help determine whether countries have reduced emissions by simply offshoring carbon-intensive production.</p><p>Data: Global Carbon Budget (2023); Population based on various sources (2023) – with major processing by Our World in Data</p></description>

<title>The Countries With No Earth Overshoot Day</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-Countries-With-No-Earth-Overshoot-Day-20240802204354.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>If everyone lived like the inhabitants of the countries highlighted on our map, one Earth would suffice to meet the needs of humanity. As for the lifestyles of the 140 or so remaining countries, the&nbsp;ecological footprint&nbsp;exceeds the planet's biocapacity, i.e. all the natural resources the Earth can regenerate (and the waste it can absorb) in the space of a year. This excluded fossil fuels and minerals (which do not regenerate) but takes into account CO₂ emissions and the space for forests needed to offset them, similar to a net-zero scenario.</p><p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/country-overshoot-days/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">calculations</a>&nbsp;by the NGO Global Footprint Network, as of August 1, 2024, humanity will have already consumed all the renewable resources the planet can replenish in one year. Humanity is thus living "on credit", and it would take 1.75 Earths to meet the needs of the world's population. Compared to this global average, the inhabitants of a country like Germany or France have an ecological footprint almost twice as high and there would have to be between 3 and 3.3 Earths if everyone lived like inhabitants of these countries. These countries' local Overshoot Days are therefore on May 2 and May 7, respectively. The United States even needs five whole Earths and had an Overshoot Day of March 14 this year.</p><p>Like with any calculation of this size, there are some weaknesses to the analysis, namely that there are sometimes gaps in the data, especially for smaller countries, and that the calculation lags behind around 1.5 years. The Earth Overshoot Day(s) for 2024 were calculated using data from 2022, which is also the reason the days are sometimes updated after the fact. As the model treats all countries the same, there can sometimes be results that are nonsensical when transferring them back to reality on a local level due to the consumption of fish.&nbsp;<a href="https://table.media/climate/analyse/erdueberlastungstag-eine-statistik-die-viele-fragen-aufwirft/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">As reporting from Table Media</a>&nbsp;shows, small nations like the Faeroe Islands, Iceland or Micronesia might not eat too much fish for their specific (island) environments, but when calculating a local Overshoot Day for them, their lifestyles would be rated as unsustainable because the world as a whole would in no way be able to consume as much fish. This is why Global Footprint Network does not publish these local calculations for the countries in question.</p></description>

<p>Have you ever stopped, looked at the rain, the raindrops falling and started thinking about the journey ahead of them? </p><p>Whether you're standing in the rain in Dijon, Madrid, London, Kyiv, Istanbul or Milano, these raindrops you see touching the ground are all beginning a long journey, sometimes taking years to achieve, that will take them in complete opposite directions, some will cross hundred, if not thousands of kilometers and reach the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea or the Great Atlantic Ocean... The great divide (here, the line between river catchments that go in opposite directions) runs across Europe, and with a little knowledge in history, one can easily see how this line makes sense and reflects history and society. </p><p>So, next time you're in Prague and take a bus to Vienna, or travel from Madrid to Barcelona, from Lyon to Paris or cross the Swiss-Italian border, just stop for a moment and take the time to reflect on this: you're entering a new hydrological realm, something great, something greater than us!</p></description>

<p>Did you think *all* rivers end up in the sea? Well, you might be suprised to learn about the existence of endorheic rivers. Endorheic rivers are basically landlocked catchment areas (hydrological networks) that like all other rivers are fed by rainwater or glacier water and form ramifications as rivers merge, but instead of reaching the ocean and creating a delta or a coastal lagoon... they evaporate hundred of kilometers away from the shores. They're mostly found far inland in arid, hot places where depressions occurs in the landscape. </p><p>This map will teach you a lot more about these geographical curiosities!</p></description>

<title>Heavy Monsoon Rains Hit India One Month Into Season</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-Heavy-Monsoon-Rains-Hit-India-One-Month-Into-Season-20240710221229.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>In late June and early July - around one month into the monsoon season -&nbsp;India&nbsp;has experienced a spike in rainfall volumes that led to massive floods.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cw0y6wwn9yyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">According to the BBC,</a>&nbsp;millions are currently affected and more than 70 have died. In Northern India, rivers like the Brahmaputra and the Koshi overflowed, but schools also closed in parts of Mumbai after heavy rains. Neighboring countries Bangladesh and Nepal also counted several victims of the flooding.</p><p>As seen in<a href="https://www.imdpune.gov.in/swmonsoon24.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;data by the India Meteorological Department Pune</a>, mean daily rainfall in India started so surpass its long-term averages as of June 27. The trend continued until July 9 - the latest day on record at the time of writing - with spikes recorded on July 1 and July 6. Looking at the (pre-) monsoon season as a whole, monthly rain volumes actually stayed below average in all months except May. Between July 1 and July 9, the country has already seen a cumulative 95 millimeters per m² of rainfall, which would slightly surpass the July monthly average recorded for the years 1901-2019 if extrapolated. However, as heavy rains are likely not lasting the entire month of July, a below-average result is still a possibility. This is caused by some regions in India continuing to record a monsoon season (June-July) rain deficit. It also shows that concentrated heavy rains can have catastrophic consequences even if monthly or yearly average are not surpassed.&nbsp;Climate change&nbsp;has been proven to make these types of events&nbsp;<a href="https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/extreme-weather/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">more potent as well as frequent.</a></p></description>

<title>The extent of the Antarctic Ozone Hole</title>
<description><img src="https://cdn.voronoiapp.com/public/images/voronoi-The-extent-of-the-Antarctic-Ozone-Hole-20240707112419.webp" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
<p>The ozone hole over Antarctica was growing rapidly throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, as the data in the chart shows. At its largest, the ozone hole was more than 25 million square kilometers — slightly bigger than the size of Sub-Saharan Africa. The earth’s ozone layer is important as the ozone absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, and helps to keep Earth habitable.</p><p>Human emissions of ozone-depleting substances — mostly chlorofluorocarbons — were breaking down ozone high in the atmosphere. But in 1987, the world agreed to phase out these ozone-depleting substances by signing the Montreal Protocol. Since then, emissions have fallen close to zero. As a consequence, the ozone hole stopped growing in the late 1990s. It will take decades to recover fully, but it’s slowly starting to rebuild.</p></description>

Around 300,000 disembarked in the U.S. directly, while many more arrived via the inter-American slave trade from the Caribbean or Latin America. It is estimated that almost 4.5 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Caribbean and another 3.2 million in present-day Brazil.</p><p>Around 40 percent of Africans uprooted in slavery are believed to have come from Angola in Southern Africa, with another 30 percent who came from the Bay of Benin in West Africa.</p><p><a href="https://www.slavevoyages.org/voyage/database#maps" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The numbers taken from database project SlaveVoyages.org</a>&nbsp;indicate the number of Africans disembarking. Many more died on the way because of lack of food and water and horrid conditions aboard the slave ships. Others were uprooted in the trans-Saharan, the red sea and the Indian slave trade, which partly predated the trans-Atlantic slave trade.&nbsp;It is estimated that close to <a href="https://voxeu.org/article/understanding-long-run-effects-africa-s-slave-trades" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">20 million people</a> were forced to leave the African continent enslaved.&nbsp;By 1800, this had decimated the African population to half the size it would have been had slavery not occurred.</p></description>

Over time, the dialect used in Île-de-France (Paris) became dominant, leading to the standardization of modern French by the 17th century.</p><p>French is spoken in many African countries due to France’s colonization efforts in the 19th and 20th centuries.
