Quick reminder that at least a decent chunk of the forests *still burning* in Canada were part of the "offsets" countries and companies pay for as credits in Carbon Trading schemes meant for them to keep polluting guilt-free.
The "offsets" are now in the atmosphere heating the planet. As well as the original emissions.
Good stuff. /s
That's part of why Emissions Trading Schemes are little more than fancy accounting and should never be accepted as Climate Action.
@pezmico It's almost as if donations to sperm banks don't actually work as "murder offset credits" or something.
