Oh no, maybe the EU had a point making this kind of bullshit illegal?

It “may” be? What kind of cockamamie reporting is this

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

It’s even worse. The places that sell carbon offsets are often poorer parts of the world. The selling is essentially a privatization of carbon sinks. As is tradition, these privatizations are very under-priced. Worse still, as they’re selling carbon sinks, they will not have those carbon sinks for themselves in the future if they choose to “develop” and emit more GHGs… they’ll have to buy carbon credits from some other fools and the prices are not likely to be lower.

It’s all very silly.

You mean the thing that we keep getting reminded every single year is a scam, was always a scam, and never had any intentions other than to delay anyone pushing actual regulations with a pinky promise to do better “eventually”…

That maybe the companies are… Lying to us?

Do you really think a company, the pinnacle of honest capitalism, would ever lie for short term profits?

Perish the thought!

Of COURSE it is.

BTW. Who gets this carbon offset money anyway, and what do they do with it?
