Letters of Indulgence. Maybe that’s where the notion of Carbon Credits began. The advertising ,marketing and exchange of completely intangible things.
The guy who came up originally (whoever he is) with carbon credits and accumulating/selling them....is a Catholic. When you look at the broad scheme of Letters of Indulgences, how they were created, their original purpose, and how they manipulated an innocent public....it was absolutely brilliant. The carbon credits scheme is the program...just modernized. I’m surprised no one has compared the two in a public setting.
