Carbon Credits are shit, they don't work. And at best just move money and risk around.
Hint: If the timber industry supports something, you know it is bad.
Timber companies claim carbon credits for trees they don’t cut down.

@corlin: But hey, at least Al Gore got a Nobel or whatever prize and made a shit-ton of money for/off them.
@thedisasterautist @corlin it gets worse: there is a growing group of crypto projects like KLIMA that put carbon credits and offsets on the blockchain. They're ostensibly trying to drive up the cost of carbon assets but it's probably a fool's errand. https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/what-is-klima-dao-and-how-does-it-work
