Revealed: more than 90% of rainforest carbon offsets by biggest provider are worthless, analysis shows
2023-01-26
[Guardian] Investigation into Verra carbon standard finds most are ‘phantom credits’ and may worsen global heating.
Thus their readers are made to understand that the things they do to help this imaginary problem would actually be making it worse if it were a real problem. And so the Guardian’s smugly Progressive readers find themselves in a cleft stick: do they accept that there is no problem, and stop wasting the nation’s money and effort trying to fix it, or do they insist there is too a real problem, and stop wasting money and effort making it worse? As for me, I intend to be charmed as I watch their efforts to reconcile the thing.
