I have been thinking of setting up a carbon offset business.
Somebody sends me a hundred dollars, I will plant a tree, send them a picture. Honest.
It would probably be the only honest carbon offset endeavor in the world. Algore would be enraged.
“…the rapidly growing $2 billion VOLUNTARY offsets market”
Buying indulgences was also “voluntary” a few hundred years ago.
Even if the offsets were real, they’re meaningless as China builds at least 10 coal plants for every one that the West shuts down, and China no longer has to take jack from the West regarding how they operate their country.
Beyond that, and thanks to ‘brilliant’ sanctions policy against Russia, most of the Third World is figuring out what China knows, so all we’re doing is collapsing our (Western) economies, while the rest of the world catches up, and likely surpasses us.
BTTT
Oh, please! No!
Next you'll be telling me that my Confederate dollars are now worthless!
Regards,
They are 110% worthless. They are a scam. Called indulgences so that one company like Tesla can sell the credits they get fro electric vehicles from the corrupt gov’t to sell to another company to lower their made up gov’t exposure.
