Thanks for sharing.

I also don’t like the idea of “carbon offset”. It gives companies an excuse to keep polluting the planet while they can claim that “well, I’ll just plant some more trees 🤷” Very awful. How about just not creating that much pollution?

Another problem with carbon credits is that they are issued by government, which means government either gives them away or acquires additional dollars for the treasury when it auctions them off. Is there an auction? An additional point of taxation unexamined.

How does anyone know how much carbon could or should be removed in the first place? Lick the index finger and hold it up in the air? Truth be known, NO ONE has a clue.
