If the carbon offset market is correctly implemented, then their intentions don’t matter because carbon offset is carbon offset.

The carbon offset market is full of bad actors and most carbon offsets are a scam. Since you don’t receive a tangible product or service when you buy an offset, there’s almost nothing stopping vendors from overstating how much carbon is being removed, selling the same offset multiple times, or a host of other ways to produce carbon offsets from thin air.

If you don’t believe me, I have ~~a bridge~~ some carbon offsets for sale.

These articles have been coming out for years. So we've known, for years. Corporate virtue signaling is just more lies with zero repercussions. It's the government's job to rein in bad behavior. They just... haven't.

Surprised pikachu, companies don’t care about us. We have to build accountability and effectiveness into the system.
